Technology Accomplish Different Learning Styles

Technology is the application of science to solve any types of learning problems. It help us to caters information to any type of learners like language content, musical content, visual, numerical,etc. in which every learner learns in a different way. Individual learning style refers to the preferential way in which the students absorbs processes, comprehends and retains information. The ICT will cater children's learning needs since we learn best when the teaching meets our learning styles. So the integration of ICT in teaching will enhance learning.

I learned that if a person learns when the information is presented in a visual format such as videos, pictures, diagrams, and symbols, then this person is known as visual learners. If a person is kinesthetic learner, they learn best when they are given an opportunity to learn through hands-on activities such as role play, art project, and experimenting. If a person is musical learner, they learn best when they are given chance to learn through music, songs, and rhyme that are related to the topic and if a person is linguistic learner, they learn best when they are given opportunity to script something or read articles that are related to the topic. Therefore, ICT have facilities to fulfill all the learning needs of different students.

After discussing on different learning styles, I prefer kinesthetic learning style as in this learning;

movement and action replace more passive forms of learning rather than listening to a lecture. It advances memory retention and its lifelong learning. Franklin, B also said that tell me I forget, teach me I remember and involve me I learn so, i think everyone learns best if we try to involve rather than make them watch or listen. I always prefer learning by doing as it helps me to observe, do it by myself and i can learn fast as well as the lesson remains with me forever. Moreover, at the time of checking or own learning style most of us fall under kinesthetic intelligence which seems learning through hands on experiences is the preferable method for learners.

When i was in grade X we have assign task of sorting out degradable and non-degradable things in science, it's a month long assignment. Teacher asks to dig a small pit and dump every waste that we wanted to examine whether degradable or non-degradable. After a month, I have seen many of the things that I dumped has been rotten and only slipper(rubber) and plastics has been left as it. It helps me in understanding that plastic take longer duration to decay and i know how to make manual too. With these experiences, I believe my students will also learnt best by doing. What I have learned in practical I can show to them through video and I can able to cater to different learning style of the students. Therefore, I will be able to teach effectively using different methods to cater my students learning style which will be my greatest strength.
