Or perhaps you find one style more useful for this exercise, but when learning German verbs or mathematical formulae you know you prefer another? Visual or spatial learners supposedly retain information best by viewing pictures or images and respond well to colours and mind maps. These logos represent the main aspect of each learning style. Do you like to learn by remembering symbols and images? Click here to view the full size image. According to the theory, kinaesthetic learners are all about doing things physically.
Role playing, using things like flashcards or carrying out the action physically can help them learn things better. Print and build this seven-sided die to see whether a hands-on approach could help you retain information. Click here to view a full sized, printable version.
Aural or auditory-musical learners should retain the most information after hearing it. Click below to listen to this recital of the different learning styles: do you tune out or find yourself remembering more than if you read th transcript? Click here to download the recording. Social, or interpersonal learners are meant to work best when they participate in study activities with other people such as quizzing each other or having a study group.

Solitary, or intrapersonal learners supposedly work best alone. Making notes and reciting them back are useful activities when studying by yourself.
Most of us will have to do some solitary revision at some point in our lives, so download and complete this worksheet to see if it works for you. Click here to download the worksheet. Verbal, or linguistic learners are supposed to respond well to written or spoken words, using tools like rhymes and acronyms. Download and complete this worksheet to figure out if these could be techniques that work for you.
Logical, or mathematical learners use logic and structures in order to learn effectively. Have a read below:. Learning styles is the theory that learners can be categorised depending on how they take in information. In this activity, you can have your reading and writing learners research the history and importance of cloth face coverings.
Then, they can write a short essay on how wearing a mask can help protect others by minimizing airborne bacteria. Afterward, your class can create a mask out of tissue paper for their Sphero BOLT to protect its sensor against incoming light. This activity provides a direct representation of how germs can spread more easily without face coverings. These types of learners are easy to find, as they likely have a difficult time sitting still and might need frequent breaks during heavy studying periods.
When possible, get kinesthetic learners up and moving. You can also create learning games that encourage these types of learners to move about the classroom at different points in the lesson. Sphero Long Jump is the perfect challenge for kinesthetic learners, as you can easily get your students up and moving. During this activity, have your students learn about what the long jump is and how science can be used to maximize jumping distance.
With supervision, students could even try their own long jump in a safe area and measure their distance! Afterward, with just a few craft supplies, they can create an adjustable, homemade ramp and DIY long jump pit for their Sphero. With this hands-on activity, your kinesthetic learners can become ethologists and technologists at the same time. To start, your students will study the movements of their favorite animal including how the animal sees, smells, and interacts with other animals and program RVR to mimic how it navigates in the wild.
Whether they are a visual, auditory, reading and writing, or kinesthetic learner, you can implement a plethora of activities in your digital curriculum that facilitate subject matter retention, course engagement, and an enjoyable educational experience.
Using information available, combined with skills acquired, can help make good decisions. Critical thinkers can solve problems by keeping a clear mind and rational thoughts that will help you analyze a situation and make a sound decision. STEM skills grant students the 21st-century abilities needed to perform a wide range of both essential and highly-skilled jobs.
Risk-taking, leaping, trying again, and failing are part of our genetic material. Without it, humans would not have inhabited every corner of this planet. Oftentimes we can see failure, particularly in exams, as negative — one of the worst things we can allow students to experience. But what if we allow students to fail in a safe space and make learning a personal endeavor?
