VARK

 Welcome back!

During the week of March 19th-21st, our class engaged in group activities centered around the exploration of multiple intelligences. We delved into the VARK learning styles—Visual, Auditory, Read-Write, and Kinesthetic, originally conceptualized by Neil Fleming and Colleen Mills in 1992.

Visual learners like using pictures and graphs to learn. They remember things better when they see them.

Auditory learners prefer listening to learn. They do well with lectures, discussions, and music to remember things.

Read-write learners learn best by reading and writing. They like taking notes and summarizing.

Kinesthetic learners learn by doing things. They prefer hands-on activities and may find traditional classrooms challenging.

Knowing these learning styles can help teachers teach in ways that work best for each student.

In class, we took some tests to discover our learning styles, and I'm excited to share one of the results with you:

In our second class, we had a group discussion. In our discussion, we explored a variety of engaging activities tailored for auditory learners. Here's a roundup of the ideas we brainstormed: Podcasts, video content, lectures, speeches, musical activities, movie watching, reading aloud, listening to music or audiobooks, participating in oral quizzes, and delivering student presentations. These activities cater to the auditory learning style, offering dynamic ways to absorb and retain information effectively.

That sums up our class activities for today. Looking forward to seeing you all again next week!
