Class of November 13th

During my EDS 150 class on Thursday November 13th the teacher taught us of the ways that diferent people learn. Some people learn better by listening to what the teacher explains. These are the auditory learners. Some people learn better by observation. These are the visual learners. Other people learn learn better by performing movement. These are the kinesthetics learners.

I decided to write this entry in the category "teaching for learning" because I am the one teaching and the students are the ones learning Me and two other students thought of activities that people with the three styles of learning could perform. We chose verbs as our topics. One of the activities was to read a story and underline the verbs. Another was to listen to the radio and write down the verbs they heard. Another was to perform the verbs as they read. Another was to watch a movie and write down the verbs they saw that were being performed. These activities helped us to have an idea of what to include at the learning center.

This class helped me to develop as a teacher because I grew up in a school that did not provide learning centers. I believe that if as a teacher I would like to include them. Learning centers provide a variety of activities for different kind of learners. Learning centers provide a wide variety of opportunities for learning.
