My Learning Style

1. After doing all three of the surveys provided to us I realized that my learning style is almost equal between a kinesthetic learner and an auditory learner, but I do believe myself to be a kinesthetic learner.

2. One main thing that makes me a kinesthetic learner is that I like to be hands-on to order to learn. I can normally understand just be listening, but actually performing a task myself ensures that I know what is going on. Next, if I read something I might understand in a sense, but hearing someone explain it to me and then me actually doing it is what helps me the most. I do not want to sit and read forever when something can be easily explained to me. This example can make me both an auditory learner and a kinesthetic learner. Last, I do not want to sit still for long periods of time; I like to move around. If I am studying or reading I will get up often to stretch or get something to drink, then I will go back to what I was doing.

3. Being a kinesthetic learner and being enrolled in online schooling can be tricky. One thing that can help me is taking breaks every now and then, as I mentioned before. I can read the readings for the week, take a break, then go back to the computer to do the forum or assignment for that week. Another thing that might help me is reading out loud, and then talking about it with someone. For example, in another class I might be able to talk about something and even put it into a demonstration for that person. In this class that we are all in right now, so far, there are no labs or anything of that sort so it does not apply much here.

4. In conclusion, if I can find someway to be active while learning it makes it much easier for me. I enjoy doing things rather than just sitting around starring at something or listening to someone.
