Just kidding!...Opening Tasks • Make sure that you are signed into TNL Course #12191 and the appropriate session-morning or afternoon. • Go to the i3 + C3 wiki i3c3.pbworks.com • Think about what kind of learner you are: visual, auditory, or kinesthetic. • Take a dot from your table and post it to the board under the “Pre” column for how you think you learn best. Red=VisualGreen = AuditoryYellow=Kinesthetic
Learning Objectives • Identify your particular learning style • Understand your particular learning style and how to best meet the needs of student with that learning style. • Recognize student behaviors in the learning environment • How to provide opportunities for students to select and use the most effective learning style as they are working and learning.

Learning Styles • What works well for you may not work well for some (or even most!!) of your students. • Knowing something about learning styles in general and your own learning style in particular can help you to plan assignments and activities.
To share with students: • You will learn more easily and with greater success once you have unlocked your learning style and discovered the best methods for helping you learn. • You may be surprised to discover just how well you can flourish in the classroom, even in subjects that you previously found difficult!
Did you know… Grades K-2 are primarily taught kinesthetically Grades 3-6 are primarily taught visually Grades 7-12 are primarily taught auditorily
