Learning+Style

My learning style is Visual Learner. But what is a learning style ? " Learning 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." ==== I learn the best when I visualise them. I can use my learning style to learn better by trying to see if I can learn using the other learning styles, like Audio learner, for example to study French, I could try to use one of those CD's that teach you another language, so I could listen to that and maybe see if I improve in class. ==== ==== My learning style impact my creations because if I make a power point I put in pictures so people can understand it better and visualise it and for me it's easier to explain what the picture is, by pointing at it, and explaining it. ==== ==== My learning style impact my life because, I'm not a very "hands-on" person, If I'm asked to build something in class, it probably won't be so good, also in I'm asked to listen to something and write a reflection or a summary of what they said, that probably won't be so good either because I will probably forget what they said in less than 20 seconds, but if I'm asked to explain a picture, that would be better than the hands-on and the audio reflection. Also I remember things better when I read them/see them, I can remember thing if a teacher is explaining it in class and I really really concentrate and take notes. Also I'm not a very good listener, like, I do listen, but i forget information very easy, so if teachers are speaking in class, and they are saying something important then, I take notes, so that I can revise after. ==== If I don't take notes, then I will forget what the teacher said, and not be able to answer any questions on a quiz about it, because, if I don't have it written down then I won't revise it, that is why, most of the time in class I take some quick notes that will remind me, and then when I'm revising write down some more things in detail. I never actually realised I was a visual learner until we did this quiz, and I reflected on it, and I realised that, I actually do learn better when I see pictures, or I write down things, or I see a written explanation in detail. Visualising it helps me understand what it's trying to explain a lot better. Some definitions of visual learning are " Visual learning is a teaching and learning style in which ideas, concepts, data and other information are associated with images and techniques." Some more information on Visual Learning: "Visual Learning helps students:
 * Make Abstract ideas visible and concrete
 * Connect prior knowledge and new concepts
 * Provide structure for thinking, writing, discussing,, planning and reporting
 * Focus thoughts and ideas, leading to understanding and interpretation"
