Knowing the learning styles of your students

Hi Deanna- Thanks for your post to the forum. As you state we need to utilize delivery that addresses all four styles as much as possible. Realistically we will not be able to achieve this in every class period, but we need to make every effort to do so. Best wishes for continued success in your teaching career. Susan

Instruction approaches for kinesthetic learners

Hi Jon - Loved your post about moving around in the classroom! At my college we have new instructors take a seminar called "Burn the Podium" which also shows them how to move around their classroom. Susan

Instruction approaches for kinesthetic learners

Hi Jon - Do you use any videos in your class? There are tons of them on You Tube and even by Googling that would give you some great visual content. How about having your students conduct a survey of some sort asking fellow students etc. questions abour some issues? Susan
