According to this author, knowing your learning style can help you study much more effectively. It enables you to know what you should do in order to help yourself learn all of the material as thoroughly as possible. I am a visual learner and learn best when I can see the material. Two suggestions for visual learners are highlighting important information, and making charts and diagrams. A strategy I came up with is looking through the work very thoroughly, doing it, then reviewing it as many times as necessary.

1.According to the author, one of the benifits of knowing you learning style is that you will know how to study. Like when you are studying for a test, you will know which study methods will best help you succeed. It can also help your reading methods. Visual learners can read the words on the page, while auditory learners can listen to a tape of the book, while reading the text. Kinestetic learners can read a little at a time, while taking breaks in between.
ReplyDelete2. I have been identified as a visual learner. One suggested study guide is highlighting important words in the text. Another is to make abstract concepts visual. I think something I should do is if I am having a hard time visualizing something, I should draw a picture of it.

ReplyDelete2. I am a visual learner. I can use pictures instead of writing down words when taking notes or studying as a helpful strategy. Also, I could use everyday items to represent concepts that I'm learning to make a visual connection to those concepts.

1. I think one of the benefits of being able to identify your own type of learning style is if you are starting to not get the material in your class, you can try different learning techniques.
ReplyDelete2. My learning style is visual. One suggested study strategy is to outline the facts if there is a lot of material for a test. Another study strategy is if there is six topics in a unit you can list them one at a time. Then, make subheads with major points beneath them. My study strategy is to study a chapter a night for a test. So once your done studying the chapters you can just review the pages right before the test, that way the material is fresh in your mind. 7A03
1. The benefits of knowing what your learning style is, according to the author, you know exactly what will help you memorize something for a test at school, or for anything.
ReplyDelete2. I am an kinesthetic learner. Some things in the article that the author suggested for kinesthetic learners were to move around a lot while learning. The author also mentioned that kinesthetic learners should take frequent brakes for moving around. One of my ideas is that instead of doing writen work, a kinesthetic learner should make something related to the subject out of clay, that way the work is more hands on and the person would remember that thing easier.

Two skills or study habits for me are listening to myself read in my head or out loud, and taking breaks frecuently to clear my mind.

1.The author says it is important to know your learning style so it helps you study. Remembering facts is easy for all of these learners. For me writing vocac words down in class and seeing them is easiest.
ReplyDelete2. My test results told me that I was an auditory learner even though I work better visually. Seeing things written on the board or smartboard is easier for me to learn.

1.I think according to the author one of the benifits of knowing what your learnig style is that you can learn the material quicker and alot better.
ReplyDelete2.I found out that I am a kinesthetic learner. The author said kinesthetic learners should take often breaks. Also the author said in the article that kinesthetic learners should move around a lot while learning. One of my ideas for kinesthetic learners is that in stead of doing a written report u could do a poster for that subject and create things for the poster so its more hands on and u learn the material better.

1.It helps to know your learning style because I know that if I didn't know how I learned best I definitely wouldn't be doing as good as I am right now.
ReplyDelete2.I am definitely more of a visual learner because I do good when I have read notes or seen the teacher right it out on the white board. I usually remember what was written down and study it to make sure I know it if we have a test or quiz on it.
7A23
1. I think the benefits of knowing you're learning style is very impotant. If you are doing bad in school like hannah you need to take a different approach to learning.Once you find you're learning style you study that way, memorize that way, and learn that way and then they start doing good in school.
ReplyDelete2.My style of learning is kinesthetic. Some suggestions of study is to take frequent breaks and to stop and do something phisical then go back to studying. One of my study things would be to take a lot of breaks and play guitar or shoot baskets or something in some of breaks and listen to music while i'm studying cause im not an auditory learner. This is what i will try to do and study better this year.

1.By knowing your learning style, it will help you with studying. school work, homework, or anything else. For me, I am a visual learner. It helps when teachers draw things out on the board.
ReplyDelete2.I'm a visual learner. The author says that people who are visual, learn best by reading and watching. Another good way is to highlight important information as we study. What I do, is I hightlight information, and I say the sentences as I write then. I would probably reright the sentences or paragraph abou eight times.

1. We all have brains, but the way our brain works differs from others'. If we understand the strengths of our brain, we obtain many advantages. If we know our learning type we can study, be taught, memorize information, and work that way, which leads to organization, a decrease in stress, favorable grades, and life-long success.
ReplyDelete2. My quiz result is a visual learner. Strategies include highlighting principal facts and phrases from books and such, drawing diagrams or pictures instead of writing an abundance of words, and using graphic organizers as an aid. My personal strategies are to draw a picture for each new fact I learn so then I can easily remember a fact or phrase by thinking of that certain picture I drew.

I think that if you,an awesome person, know how you work best in different sittuations you can learn/teach yourself AND another person (if they have the same "problems" as you) how to make things, if not more difficult, than easier.
ReplyDeleteI AM A VISUAL LEARNER! "A picture's worth a thousand words" is what my moto was. Some hints they gave me for "organizing" was to highlight the important info., study for tests/quizzes with cards with WRITTEN info. on them, and a thing I came up with is for me to do doodleing (next to the notes) of what we are talking about for me to recall the lesson lecture. That 'tis what we did in sixth grade for science.

According to the author it benefits if you learn your learning style because if you know you will make things easier for yourself. You will make things easier because you will learn how you should and do best.
ReplyDeleteI am a visual learner so I need to see things to do best at my work. Use flash cards and make posters.Another way to study is to memorize and read a lot.
7A07
According to the author I am a visual learner. I will benefit from highlighting information while I study for a quiz, test, midterm, or final. The author suggests that I make charts and diagrams to help me study. Also I should make study cards. It also says I should use graphic organizers. Something I have realized that helps me to study a test that doesn't cover a lot of material is read the whole unit or chapter. When I take the test I can picture the page it's on and remember where the answer to the question is. If it is a large chapter then I would usually take notes even if I am not asked to. I would read the notes and I will be able to know where the answer is on my notes.
ReplyDelete~7A 15
The benifit of knowing what type of learner you are is that you know how you should study and it will help you learn.
ReplyDeleteAccording to the author I am a Auditory learner.
I will benefit from saying the words out loud to myself or hearing the teacher explain it. I don't study that much because I just say the words or formulas out loud once or twice and I know it. The author suggested that I read the chapter I'm studying out loud to myself.7A17
According to the author, learning your personal learning style can help you do better in school. I am a kinesthetic learner. I like to be hands on with my work. I need to take frequent breaks in my work, and during the breaks do something phisical. I usually go for a bike ride in the middle of my omework.

ReplyDelete1. If you know your learning style you can use that style better when studying like if you're auditory you can listen to tapes. Visual on the other hand can create flash cards or videos.
ReplyDelete2. Well I am a visual learner, so to help me study I am going to use flash cards and draw diagrams of what we are learning about in class. The study technique that I came up with was that I can find videos on the internet to see what we're learning at the time.

1. The benefits of identifying your learning style is that it will allow you to have an easier time in school because you will know how you can best learn the material, and the most effective ways to retain the information.
ReplyDelete2. After taking the quiz, the results were that I was a “visual learner”. Based on my quiz, one of my best study strategies would be to highlight important information when studying. Another good strategy for me is to design charts and create study cards to improve memory. I think a good study strategy would be to stick “Post-It” notes in areas where you look the most.

1. The benefits of identifying your learning style is that when you study a particular way that you feel comfortable and not easily distracted by, it is good. Such as being a kinesthetic learner, you feel like you need to go somewhere such as playing outside or a game in the middle of doing your homework. If you are a kinesthetic learner but learning in a visual way, you might not be comfortable. Knowing your style of learning will help you improve on school work or any work at all.
ReplyDelete2.After reading the artical and completing the quiz, the results said I was a visual learner. It suited me well because I never want to go and do something in the middle of doing my homework before getting it done. If I do not finish my homework and start something else, I have a urge inside of me to finish it. I am looking forward to doing the authors advice such as making study sheets, diagrams and charts. Another good strategy for me is color coating paragraphs in a writing assignment to compare things if they are important or not needed.

Well, to the author the benefits of identifying your learning style is, being able to get through the transition of Middle School, and also being able to know the best ways to listen , learn, and study. I think knowing your learning style takes you one step ahead of the game. Knowing the best ways to study, listen, and learn will make anyones life a whole lot easier. I also believe that knowing your learning style first and foremost is vitally important , but I also think taking the time to know your children, classmates , and siblings styles of learning will not only effect that person by your help, but it will also enrich your social skills , and excitement to learn and listen.
ReplyDeleteI am a Visual learner . One of the strategies the website explained was highlighting important information as I study . The website also pointed out the strategy of making notecards , and study sheets. I, as a visual learner , think a great strategy is to make a study sheet , read each sentence through slowly, and if you reach an important sentence repeat it a few times then highlight it for future reference.

1.)The benefits of identifying your learning style can result in good grades and more organized homework. If you know your learning style you can plan your schedule for studying, you can plan to study one or two weeks before the test or quiz, that way you can score more A’s and less D’s. My learning style is very simple, I usually study a week before a test or quiz, I take one break while I’m studying and go straight back to work which helps me concentrate more.
ReplyDelete2.) I have taken the quiz and I am a visual learner. The author says its best if I see how the work is done before I do it myself. The author also said that I could highlight important information on your homework. The author also said that making diagrams, charts, and study cards with information will help study for tests. I will take this advice and see if it works for me, if not I will keep the learning style.

After reading the article and taking the quiz, I found that I was a Kinesthetic Learner. According to the author of the article, anyone who discovers their learning style, benefits by being more succesful in school. The author reccomended that a Kinesthetic Learner take frequent breaks when studying or sitting for long periods of time. During these breaks, he suggested doing something physical. He also said that writing information down will help keep that information in the student's memory. One idea I came up with to help Kinesthetic Learners suceed, is to make up a song containing information he or she needs to remember, perhaps for a test. Supposing the student needs to learn multiplication facts, here is an example:
ReplyDeletefour times eleven is forty-four,
do three jumping jacks and then one more.
When singing this part of the song, he or she may physically act out the jumping jacks. I think that actually doing the action will stick the song into their memory all the more.

ReplyDelete2. I am a kinesthetic learner. Taking frequent breaks and trying tasks myself helps me understand consepts. A sugestion to other kinesthetic learners out there is to watch someone to demonstrate a task and then attempt to do it yourself. This has almost always worked for me.

1.) I am an auditory learner and a kinesthetic learner. The benefits of being an auditory learner, is that when the teacher says something, I can remember it better. Benefits of being kinesthetic is that it helps to chew gum and play with putty while doing homework.
ReplyDelete2.) One suggestion from the author was to tape record the lectures in class so I can listen to them again later. Another was to write study cards, but just say them out loud over and over again. My own way to help with my auditory learning is to just talk to myself when it's needed. Suggestions from the author about kinesthetic learners were to have me take breaks while doing work, during the breaks she says to do something physical. Another thing the author said to do was while working on projects and experiments, just take notes as I'm doing it so I realize what I'm doing. My way to help me is to do stuff while I'm like on the treadmill or something. That way I'm physically doing something while also working.

I think that one of the main benefits of knowing your learning style is that you are more successful in school because you know how to study and prepare yourself for tests and projects. I think knowing your learning style is helpful because you know how to be prepared and feel comfortable the way you are learning. If you are one type of learner and you are studying a different way, you might not get as good of grades. When you know your style, you can memorize things easier, be very successful, and get better grades.
ReplyDeleteMy quiz reesults showed that I am a visual learner. Two study strategies to help me are to make charts and diagrams and make my own flash cards. I think that if I am having trouble learning something, I can draw a picture or make a design from it, so that when I am taking the quiz or test, I can just think of whatever I drew. 7A14
#1. According to the author it is very good to know learning style so you can study for tests and quizzes in a way that will help you remember things.#2.

My resolution is that when studying, I will study about five pages, and then get up and do something active.

For any test or homework I should have all my work sheets from the classroom and lay them out and read them over and over again. If there are any vocabulary words I can put them on index cards. 7B05

Suggested strategies for a visual learner are: (A) to write words out in the air to help you 'see' them; and (B) to have someone read assignments to you while you read along at the same time in your book.
