Mr. Martin walked into the classroom with his laptop and quickly pulled the window shades down, a tell-tale sign he was about to show the class a video. As a science teacher, Mr. Martin tries to mix his instructional methods up often, presenting topics in different ways and offering varying learning activities. When they see that today's lesson starts with a video, Darren and Lisa gave a quiet cheer, but Glynn and Barb weren't so happy. What's going on?
Mr. Martin is right in his decision to present information in different ways. You see, people take information in through their senses (seeing, hearing, touching, and moving things around) to make sense of them. Our learning modalities are how we take in, process, and learn using our senses. Darren and Lisa are visual and auditory learners who love to see and hear new information.
