====A learning style is the preferred way or method in which you learn something. As we consider the future and how active learning, learning communities, and technology converge to create new school environments, we must consider a variety of approaches to learning. Technology can impact all forms of learning. L earning styles are various approaches or ways of learning. They involve educating methods, particular to an individual, that are presumed to allow that individual to learn best. It is commonly believed that most people favor some particular method of interacting with, taking in, and processing stimuli or information. ==== ====The three learning styles are: 1) kinaesthetic 2) auditory and 3) visual. ==== ==== Kinaesthetic learning is a learning style in which learning takes place by the student actually carrying out a physical activity, rather than listening to a lecture or merely watching a demonstration. It is also referred to as tactile learning. People with a kinesthetic learning style are also commonly known as do-ers. Auditory learning is a learning style in which a person learns through listening. They may struggle to understand a chapter they've read, but then experience a full understanding as they listen to the class lecture. An auditory learner may benefit by using the speech recognition tool available on many PCs. Auditory learners may have a knack for ascertaining the true meaning of someone's words by listening to audible signals like changes in tone. When memorizing a phone number, an auditory learner will say it out loud and then remember how it sounded to recall it. Visual learning is a teaching and learning style in which ideas, concepts, data and other information are associated with images and techniques. ==== ==== Visual learners also prosper when shown graphs,graphic organizers, such as webs and idea maps and illustrations such as stack plots are some of the techniques used in visual learning to enhance thinking and learning skill s. My learning style is visual because I get to see it, read it and understand it. ==== ====I can use my learning style to help me with technology by listening to my group leaders and my teacher. ====
