Have you ever struggled in class, feeling the need to move or change seats so you could listen better with your left ear or view the whiteboard from a different angle?
Today, Mr. Whiting led us through a variety of exercises that helped you determine your learner profile and understand the characteristics that represent it. Understanding your profile helps you and your teachers know more about how you best learn: your strengths, preferences and areas you can improve.
Now that you have a better understanding of your profile, we request that you reflect on your new learnings and share the information. For this blogpost, write a well-developed response using the information you gained in class.
Begin your post by stating what type of thinker you are (gestalt or logical/sequential) and your newly identified learning profile. Following this, please respond to the sentence stems listed below by writing a well developed paragraph. Paragraphs need to reflect what you learned about yourself as a learner and how you will use this new information to help you reach your full potential.
1. I learn best when... (use the learning profile sheet to help you with this paragraph)
2. I need to... (knowing the characteristics of your profile, what will you need to do to succeed - seating, grouping...)
3. The strategies that would help me in my learning...(consider strategies that will help you succeed - use of visuals, audio tapes of books, discussing new topics...)
4. I would like my teachers to know this about me...(what information is important for the teacher to know about you in order to best help you learn...)
Include examples/scenarios in each of the paragraphs. Paint a picture of you as a learner, so your audience gains a clear understanding of you as a student.
