  1. As I am a very visual and social learner this will greatly influence the styles in which i teach. There will be a lot of collaboration within my classroom and a lot of visual resources will be used. Although this is the case I will need to ensure that I cater for all the learning styles of the students in my class and the first step toward acheiveing that willl be getiing them to take this test also. My classroom will be a very active one where there are various learning displays arounf the room.

    In regards to E-Learning and useing the skills acquired in my classroom these learning styles will be very usefull. Using ICT's is all about collaborations (social) and being able to learn by not only doing but seeing (visual). With my learning styles I should be able to readily gain the skills in the use of ITC's and effectivly utilise these resources and skills within my classroom.

    By using this test I will be able to see what learning styles every member of my class has and therefore create learning experiences that are catering to their particular styles. By using my learning style I will be able to successfully utilise the use of ICT's within my classroom and create a buzzing and interactive learning environment.

  2. These are my scores:
    Visual: 11
    Social: 14
    Physical: 7
    Aural: 11
    Verbal: 9
    Solitary: 4
    Logical: 16

    There are a few differences between us.For starters you are more of a physical laerner than I am. This means you are able to get up and learn kinesthetically better than me. This is something I was suprised about as I thought I would be higher in this section.

    The next one in which i'm not suprised is verbal learning. Knowing you, and not to be offensive I can see you as a very verbal learner. I believe from what I have seen that discussing topics with peers to identify exactly what is needed is what you do best. :)

    Solitary learning is something that is very low for me. I'm not too sure about this one. What do you think? I think that I do benefit from conferring with other about what to do, but also like doing the task by myself so it gets done. I can see that this section is substantially lower for you that social and verbal learning as talked about previously.

    The last type of learning that has substantial difference is logical learning. Sterotypically I expected this section to be higher. Being male, I like thing to have order and this is no differnt with my learning of content. I have to know how it works and how it relates to the ideas and concepts surrounding it. I believe that this allows me to understand KLA's like maths particulary well. Still looking at gender sterotypes, with you being female, the fact that things need to be logical is not as great. Although learning must have some order, you are able to easily accept any detours that throw you off when learning something.

    Well this is what I could gather from our scores based on what I know about you and your personality and myself as a learner.
