Hi Karin:
Interesting post - thanks!
I think all students use their avialable senses to some degree and as needed. One way to stimulate more sensory stimulationon is by adding variety into the lessons so that by virture of participating in class the student will be required to naturally use more of their physical and mental attributes to learn.
By variety, I mean, lot's of different media choices, blending/mixing media (i.e., PPT with whiteboard), and especially activitis that involve student participation. The more invloved, I believe the more learning and retention of information will occur.
