Styles of Learning.
EducationNation.com
recognizes 7 styles of learning:
solitary,
verbal,
logical,
social,
physical,
visual, and
aural. Each of us
has our own pattern of how much we use each of these
different styles when learning new things.

the learning styles where you currently score the lowest.
3. Comparing your learning style results with other people's results

BR Thomas Classes Use Multiple Styles
of Learning.
1. Social.
Students enroll in classes to get social learning opportunities with
the teacher and with other students. Students are encouraged to bring
their computer projects into class for show-and-tell.
2. Aural.
Students listen to the teacher talking to the class and providing
descriptions about what to do and how to do it.
3. Visual.
Students watch as the teacher's computer is projected on the classroom
wall to show the class how to it. Students read the handout sheet and
websites referenced on the handout sheet.
4. Verbal.
Students discuss information with the entire class and
individually with the teacher or with other students. Show-and-tell
provides opportunities for students to talk about their computer
projects in class.
5. Physical.
Students practice computer skills by doing what the
teacher has demonstrated, both in the classroom and at home.
6. Logical.
Students learn the stepwise method for successfully completing various
tasks on the computer.
7. Solitary.
Students
can opt out of social or verbal activities in the classroom.
Students use the classroom handout sheet to continue learning computer
skills at home after class.
