“If a child can’t learn the way we teach, maybe we should teach the way they learn.”
Ignacio Estrada

Meet students halfway!Traditional techniques + Newer techniques

We all have preferred ways of receiving and learning information
![Page 13: Teacher training mod](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052908/5596fdb81a28aba8778b4628/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
What type of learner are you?
•Visual learners learn by seeing and reading. They learn best through textbooks, pictures, diagrams or demonstrations they can observe.
•Auditory learners excel through listening and speaking. Auditory learners will do well in a lecture hall atmosphere, by listening to tapes or music.
•Kinesthetic or tactile learners learn best through touching and doing. Hands-on activities work well for this type of learner, and a tactile learner tends to do well with manual dexterity tasks.
No matter which learning style a child has - visual, auditory or tactile - a combination of teaching styles can be effective since most people have a little of each style and are dominant in one area. Knowing what type of learner a child is makes teaching and learning much easier.

How do your students learn best?

What activities are you currently using in the classroom to meet your students learning needs?
How does your learning environment support and enhance learning?
What do you need to change in your teaching?
