There are many different learning styles. From research, I have found that no student has only one learning style. Most have several learning styles that they prefer. When creating lesson plans, I will be integrating ideas to meet the needs and preferences of each type of learning style. 

I do like the 60-second question to learn their preferred learning style.

I will begin our first class by asking the question about the apple or hobby. In this manner, it will be easier to determine the learning styles of my students. I think this method can also work when teaching an Intranet course.

Love the stories. I try to bring in personal stories so that they can visualize the situation. I also think the rap and the acronyms help, as well. I teach Maternal Health. The acronym that all students remember about how to treat preterm labor is "It's not my time". Indomethacin, Nifedipine, Magnesium Sulfate, and Terbutaline.

I think I might integrate the idea of creating your own video about a concept or disease process. I already use mind maps, but could use them more often.

In reflecting on the various learning styles, I can visualize the students in my classroom who display these learning styles. The suggestions provided are very helpful in providing various activities and mentoring tips for each student. I am thinking of my students who are loners. These students will not make appointments with me. Most often, these are the students who sit at the back of the room. They don't talk. They don't like to be called on. One student said that it takes her a while to come up with an answer because she is analyzing the various types of… >>>

I 100% see that integrating visual aids during lecture helps with retention.  I often make time for in lecturing labeling activities.  I will try a new approach; perhaps the Draw a Term or something like the Whole Brain Organizer. 

I like the idea of using a sequential game strategy within class to perhaps introduce material that isn't covered directly.

 

I like the ball toss. I would give students a minute to come up with something they learned today, then start and have them toss to other students. 

There is no one best teaching style, and teaching should incorporate all the learning styles. Students should not be stuck in one category of learning and should explore all ways of learning. 

I always resented the push to make learning like a game for some reason.  However, after this module it's hit me more like it can be a tool to make certain associations or learning easy, which indeed is an objective no matter what content.  Certainly, there is a range of options to include as well, from merely having students work together, to having an accrual of points, to an actual game format etc. 

Good information. It is a good idea for students to assess their learning style, but they need to look at other ways of learning and not get stuck on one way. Offereing different options - lecture, video, hands on gives students different ways to learn and maybe see that they are a multimodal learner, not just one.
