Auditory
Kinesthetic Visual
Different learning types
sit where they can hear but needn't pay attention
to what is happening in front may not coordinate colors or clothes, but can
explain why they are wearing what they are wearing and why
hum or talk to themselves or others when bored acquire knowledge by reading aloud remember by verbalizing lessons to themselves (if
they don't they have difficulty reading maps or diagrams or handling conceptual assignments like mathematics).
Auditory
need to be active and take frequent breaks speak with their hands and with gestures remember what was done, but have difficulty recalling what was said
or seen find reasons to tinker or move when bored rely on what they can directly experience or perform activities such as cooking, construction, engineering and art help them
perceive and learn enjoy field trips and tasks that involve manipulating materials sit near the door or someplace else where they can easily get up and
move around are uncomfortable in classrooms where they lack opportunities for
hands-on experience communicate by touching and appreciate physically expressed
encouragement, such as a pat on the back
Kinesthetic
take numerous detailed notes tend to sit in the front are usually neat and clean often close their eyes to visualize or remember something find something to watch if they are bored like to see what they are learning benefit from illustrations and presentations that use color are attracted to written or spoken language rich in imagery prefer stimuli to be isolated from auditory and kinesthetic
distraction find passive surroundings ideal

Technology can incorporate all learning styles and reach more
students than the traditional style of teaching with lecture and textbooks. Games are available free of cost that keep students
interest. Technology is not limited to education alone, but may be able
to help in all curriculum areas. There are applications to help students learn spelling
words, math problems and even type. Some applications can be personalized to cover the
current classroom curriculim. Students can hear, see and manipulate things to learn more
effectively
Technology and different learning types
There are many different kinds of technology that will
motivate and challenge students
PDA’s ipods ipads Cell Phones Laptop Computers Ereaders Interactive Whiteboards Smart Tables
iPods can be used with the same
applications as the iPhone or iPad. There are thousands of free educational
applications available in every subject area.
iPods are small and compact Many students already own an iPod
iPods
iPads are bigger than the other
handheld devices. Bigger screen which is easier to view. Have 3g capabilities so they can be
used anywhere and do not require a wifi connection.
The larger icons are easier for smaller children to manipulate.
iPads
Ohio students are required to pass a standardized test to graduate. This chart shows results from Spring 2011.
Measures of Academic Progress (MAP) Test resultsfrom Spring of 2011 for students who had access to
iPads (inblue) compared to students who did not (in yellow).
Most students already have one Portable Most are durable Most have applications available
Cell Phones
Portable Larger screen Able to access some applications Less expensive than iPad Help students become more familiar with a
keyboard and typing
Laptops
Stimulate imagination Can be used anywhere Students won’t have to miss work because of
absence Will allow teachers to give more individual attention Will hold students attention Can be placed in otter boxes for more protection Engage students Will provide learning in different ways to reach
students who learn in different learning styles
Pros
Students could break or damage them Some students may not know how to use the
technology The technology can be expensive
Cons
Benefits of Technology
Inside the classroom
Can grab students attention
Can keep students motivated
Graphics and sound are more interesting than lecture or textbooks
Outside the classroom
Students can still view work if they have to miss school
Teacher can track progress
Students can work in most any location
Students receive visual stimulation, audio reinforcement, and interaction with
technology. Students learn when they are interested and motivated; technology
seems to do both.
