I learned how to do radio shows by doing. At the station I do stuff, you're supposed to shadow a few shows. I never really did that, just kind of dove in. Haha.
I also learned how to edit videos via messing around with the editor I had at the time.
So I'm a doing learner.
Even though this is quite late, I still wanted to reply. :}
I find the best way to learn is the practical way and/or understanding why its done!!! There's no use learning stuff if you don't know why your dong it!!!
BTW what's summer school about?! Why would anybody want to be in school during the 3months of summer holidays?!?!?
@AineBourke all the summer schools I have heard about are where someone fails a class/the year so has to go to school over the summer. And if they don't pass than they are kicked out of school or moved down a year or something. Idk, its an american thing, we don't have them where I live.
I really learn best through doing things most of the time. Like, if I need to learn how to do a craft, learn better by watching others/doing it myself than by reading about how to do it, then following their directions. But I am also a visual learner. I don't learn really when someone is just blabbing on and on to me, and I don't learn when I have to read and take notes really.
simple. if the thing i have to know is relevant to my interests, i read it once and i'll probably never forget it. If i am assigned to learn something that is of no use/interest to me, i don't learn it.
I'm not sure how I learn best. I get asked that question a lot actually, because it's something teachers are starting to work on in the classroom. But I haven't figured out what works best for me. This is a useless comment, but I wanted to prove I've watched this and would like to participate, so yeah. I feel like Johnny now.
some things, I cant learn, like anything math related after algebra 1-2, or how to play first-person shooters correctly. Otherwise I learn best by watching others, and mimicking their own moves
I'm that way with math too, and Science. i can't even tell you basic math things, maybe some of it, but it's like super easyness... but yeah it's bad..
BTW, if you're teaching a class and you MUST talk, try to change the voice tones a bit. When my teachers talk in monotone, I fall asleep. I don't mean to, and I don't like being rude, but that's just what happens.
Usually I learn better when it's not just someone talking, on and on. I memorize things better when I'm taught some sort of pattern, and if there isnt a pattern to learn, I learn better when I write it down. Since I like to draw, most of the time I learn much better with visual and being able to interect with what I see. I usualyl just can't pay attention at all when I don't like the topic, and such.
I learn visually, and by doing things. Sort of a mix. It's best for me when I see something done and I follow along, or if I see it done first and then do it myself. Of course, the best one for me is following along because sometimes its hard for me to remember everything that I watched. One on one teaching and quizzing helps me a lot.
I'm a visual learner... or rather, I understand best by seeing and doing. (which includes class discussions) (it sure makes class go by a bit quicker and easier to learn from than listening to someone lecture the whole time.
i learn by writing. and i learn by listening. i CAN learn by seeing, but im much better when i practice or hear someone doing/ talking about doing something.
I've realized i can't learn in a classroom... well i can it just usually doesn't stick right away, mostly because the teachers aren't personal and don't explain things individually. I've also noticed i learn better from hearing something then going off and doing my own thing and thinking about what was said...
I'm very much a visual learner. I learn by reading information, which tends to stick in my head after the 1st read through. Once I see something it's much easier to remember than if I hear it, and things I do hear take much longer to register. I make notes about and colour code things which are more difficult to understand.
the best way i learn depends on what i need to learn. usually doing or seeing something is best, or hearing. i read alot, and random facts stick to me from it, and they usually help me learn. anyway really works best for me. :D
I learn best by hearing. I always remember things that I hear so in school I try to have my mom reading things for me before test and so. I can also learn a lot by doing but as far as visual learning I'm horrible at it. I often find myself reading the same sentences over and over again so I've learned how to read best and that is by isolation. I always have my mp3 plugged in whenever I'm reading. The it's just me and the words.
I am in Ellen's Educational Technologies class over the summer. I learn by seeing and doing. I feel that I am a hands on learner. I can be told how to do thing or read directions time and time again and still have trouble. Once i am shown how to do the task and do the taske myself I get the hang of it. I like taking my own notes in class to refer back to some how when i write the note by hand i tend to remember them easiers. - Nicole
Hi, I'm back. I just wanted to thank you for not using bad language on your video for our class question. I hope that you five awesome guys will use descent language while helping our class out this summer. I have been told by other classmates who feel the same way. It makes it more enjoyable to watch and listen to someone when they aren't using such language. I hope you'll pass this along to the other guys, and that they will respect our wishes, at least for this class. Thanks so much.
I can learn by ear, but I'm better with visual and hands on stuff. I have a kind of photographic memory, so it's easier to learn visually. And of course, when you learn well visually, it always helps to actually do something.
I love to brag about my photographic memory. One time, I needed to remember the 4 kinds of joints in a human body for a test, and I did so by remembering what a page in my human biology textbook looked like. :)
I learn best by listening and taking notes. My college records our lectures, and I relisten to them later and take notes again when the exams are approaching. ^_^
that is a very good question. as for my answer i think i learn best by being shown. the best example i have from this is my job i am an electrician and if someone shows me how to do something it sinks in. However with regards to personality i learnt how to be more confident and assertive at work by being thrown into situations and had to either sink or swim. pretty much physical activities i learn by example and mental activities i excel when left to it and have to figure it out for my self!
im not sure what this comes under...but when im learning stuff for exams I need to make little connectors or stories, ie. "Prophase is pro at breaking up relationships, it dissolves and then splits the Chromatids to either side of the cell.' y'know? or 'Costula Cartlidge, if ya break it it'll Cost(u)ya life.'
I'm a firm believer that you won't learn anything unless you actually do it yourself. I'm definitely more of a visual person, so for me all I have to do is write things out and I will remember them. However, I think there is more to learning that just memorize, and I feel like to really soak in knowledge, you have to care at least somewhat about what you are learning about.
Hence why I don't remember anything from chemistry but I could probably quote "The Great Gatsby"
I am a student in Ellen's EDU 271 class. I would like to say HI. What kind of learner am I, well I think I am a more hands on learner and a visual learner combined. To actually do the project is much easier for me.
i'm a very visual learner. i have a sort of photographic memory and i can think of things in relation to where the info was on the page. maybe that's why i do better with paper books instead of internet textbooks cuz the print stays put. i also learn by doing. in calculus, i may think i know something with an example on the board, but it's not until i actually work the problems that i internalize what to do.
I learn best by figuring things out on my own. Once a teacher is done explaining something the first few times I try go really slowly but I understand what I'm doing rather than regurgitating info. I also tend to make my own little visuals or diagrams in my head. The more I can make it my own the more I learn.
Umm...I'm more of a visual learner or someone has to give me a visual description. 1 exp. is ...like, in math as long as the teacher deos 1 problem I'll already know how to do it, well that is if I'm paying attention...but if I'm not I just figure out how to answer the question.
What an awesome teacher ellen must be, this is a great idea, wish i was in her class!
I think I used to learn best by reading, but these days I'm much more of a visual learner. So i learnt more in two weeks repeatedly watching the five hour documentary 'Andrew Marr's History of Modern Britain' than i did in two terms reading scary-sized history books.
I think I'm more of a kinetic learner. I learn by doing. Audio-visual learning works for me on occasion, but I definitely learn best when I'm actually putting things into practice.
i'm a nursery nurse so my job is pretty hands on anyway and alot of it is common sense. i did my college course for a year and it was more or less 'sit down and read a book' kind of thing which i hated but we also had a one day placement where we interacted in a work place and completed required units and that was so much better for me. and now im furthering my learning whilst working and its great!
so cool :) I'm from North Carolina, so you guys should DEF. do it. Okay, I guess I'll answer the question now - I'm a visual learner. I need a visual example of what I'm going to do, and then I'll do it. Like you said, editing videos. It helps to watch a tutorial online or something. If I try to read it, I get confused. That applies for all my classes, I need to see an example/the process of something for me to do it.
I usually learn by trying to understand a core part of whatever it is I'm trying to learn, and expanding from there. My memory isn't great so I really have to understand the underlying mechanics of something in order to remember it. So I learn by making sense of things really.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow

I am a kinetic learner. being able to do something and get involved allows you to learn by example, experimentation and gain experiance. In my opinion schools could do allot better if they adopted a more kinetic stategy. To many calsses sit students down and simply preach a mass of information that the students are expected to simply remember.....
......A little more thought could provide activity in which to learn. Kinetic learning gives benefit of being told AND doing it aswell. Primary schools seem to adopt a kinetic strategy more than older schools. perhaps is seen as immature to be doing? I am in 6th form, currently 17 and would in no way find a more practical kinetic approach less 'mature'.
i think it depends on the medium i'm learning. for math, i think it's just having it out in front of me, but for things like science, i have to do it.
but i love to learn to do things by just figuring stuff out.
hey I'm Audio, visual(if spelt wrong sorry i ment looking at stuff) and i learn best on my own.
i did a course to see how i learn best and how kenislyology (don't know if that is spelt right) can help with learning.
i'm (let me get this spelling wright) Dyslexia (yar first time i've spelt it wright on You Tube)so i remember thing Best by pattens and rymes, Like Wednesday, i still remember the spelling by 'WE Do Not Eat Sweets Day' it works for me
probably visual. when im in a test thinking of the right answer, i can always picture exactly where the right information is in the book. i also like to write everything down a million times. it gets it into my head, rather than just rereading notes.
I'm exactly the same way on both counts! I, too, always remember where the right answer was in the book, even if I don't remember the right answer. I also rewrite important formulas or facts on a sheet of paper until I have them memorized.
Check out Howard Gardner's Multiple Intelligences
It's amazing how many teachers only want to teach everyone using the same method when everyone learns differently! Imagine how we can change the educational system!
I learn by reading the stuff, but in my head I'm making a scheme tot connect everything that I have learned. You have to find the connections if you want to learn alot.
For example maths I find that if you give me a question and work through it step by step with me I will learn faster that way, instead of just giving me the question and telling me to work it out.
And I am definitely someone who learns best by trying to teach someone else what I have learned. That's the best way honestly, because you cant teach someone else unless you have a pretty full understanding.
Something interesting I can learn just by hearing or reading it once, but most things in school are not interesting (to me) and so it takes grueling repetition to memorize usually.
I can't remember anything in class unless I'm writing it down or doodling or moving, which I guess is hands on. But as long as I'm moving, I'll remember what's being taught, so my notes tends to be doodles.
I am a combination of both visual and kinetic learning. I watch someone do something and I am able to learn how to do that something by watching. Visual learning has helped me a vast amount in my drama and technical theatre classes. Watching how someone else acts or make something really inspires me to do the same.
I am a kinetic learner mostly in the classroom (especially tech theatre).
=)
Great idea, Alan! Not only are you involving viewers/students, but you learn more about the guys too
I like to figure things out for myself to mastery- but demonstrations are hugely helpful. When I learned guitar at first, I would download tabs and chords, but the guys at work would help me fiddle with it. I HATE being told what to do. I need choice and lots of different stimuli. But I also have an awesome audio-visual memory, I am almost eidetic :)
I did a quiz thing once for a workshop for Sunday school teachers to see how we learn best... apparently lecture/with visuals is mine... which is good since that's how I get most of my tax CPE (continuing professional ed). The teacher however found it funny since the class that I taught was the pre-schoolers. I promised I would avoid powerpoint presentations with them. :-)
I learn best by having something explained to me. Once it is explained, it all makes sense in my head and if I read over it again, it'll all come back to me. Like re-watching a movie. You realise stuff the second time around. =D
I'm a visual learner according to the quiz I took in class once.
Usually, I can just remember and understand things easily. If I have trouble with a concept, I have to have it written down with lots of colors and arrows and said aloud maybe. Finally, after I do the problem several times and have it explained to me, it CLICKS! It's magical I tell you.
I hate having to listen to stuff in class... makes it monotonous and slower.
But I guess hearing stuff helps me the most, though, like if I'm memorizing something and say it out loud or if I'm listening to a teacher, that's usually better than a textbook.
The project is an awesome idea! What a great teacher. :) But I learn best by reading and then I have everything I read explained and/or repeated to me aloud.
i learn best by seeing. i have a semi-photographic memory, so when i need to find the answer, i remember where the information is on the page of my notes or textbook and go from there. strange, isn't it?
I learn best by hearing what I need to learn. For example it is better for the teacher to actually say the information, rather than me just reading it from the textbook. This helped a lot in my history class because that subject is so boring to me anyway! I also seem to grasp ideas better from audiobooks, rather than reading normally (but dont get me wrong, reading is amazing as well)!
For example, my science teacher this year was teaching us mitosis (division of cells) and at one point he had the whole class in a giant circle demonstrating mitosis.
visual learner. flashcards are my best friend! they work for pretty much everything. i also find it pretty helpful to just write down information a couple times just to drill it into my brain.
mixture of talking to people and doing. If someone can show me how to do something, then i do it, it's easy. =) Or i just experiment with things till it works out.
I'm auditory/ kinistetic, half the card games i know I learned by playing a round w/ 4 other people who did know. I can also sing a song perfectly in tune after hearing it
What a cool idea! I learn best by doing, I find that if I can get experience actually interacting with something it sticks with me longer. I wanted to learn how to create a website a few years back, so I signed up for an HTML class where the teacher showed us something then we all turned around to the computers and did it ourselves. There were some cool tags and applications she demonstrated, and we got to make our own web page in class before we finished and started making our own sites. :)
I'm definately auditory, in lectures I rarely write anything because if I do it gets in the way of listening, instead I have to record the lecture and listen to it again later while writing notes. It also means that when I repeat the information out loud to someone else it really helps me to remember it so studying in groups helps.
you are not boring... you have lots of insight... and this is a great idea
I learn best by seeing and doing... if I see something (or hear it for music) I pick it up better than someone just giving me directions and letting me on my own to do the task
I'm a visual learner.Reading,I'll forget it.Writing,I'll lose it and think that I can just look back at it,making me not learn it.Visually,it explains a lot for me and I can think back on the visual picture of the experiment.
im a visual learner in school and out :) when im in class listening to teachers ramble, sometimes doodling everywhere helps me listen (if the teacher's boring then it helps me tune out :D) i understand art, music, drama etc better than maths and science unless im doing something practical...i suppose its the whole right brain left brain thing :)
most definatly verbal!!! when some one tells me something it sticks! for example when im in math/science class i usually dont look up at the board too much but i listen and one year (4th grade) during math i had my back turned to teacher because of the seating arrangement and she tried every chance she got to "catch me not paing attention" but every time i got the answer right and she even that on my report card she said she was amazed
I'm all three. For classes, the basic five, I'm auditory adn visual. Science and social studies would be my visual adn for the others, they're auditory. For jsut about everythign else I do, it's me doing that thing that helps me learn best becuase it gives me the experience of doign it and figureing out what needs fixed. Like I make things from clay. I don't really use tutorials, I just try my best at making a prtotyp[e, then make an even better one.
Doing. If someone shows me how to do something by doing it himself I won't remember how to do it, but if they let me do it myself with their guidance I will remember.
I learned how to do radio shows by doing. At the station I do stuff, you're supposed to shadow a few shows. I never really did that, just kind of dove in. Haha.
I also learned how to edit videos via messing around with the editor I had at the time.
So I'm a doing learner.

I am a student in Ellen's EDU 271 class. I would like to say HI. What kind of learner am I, well I think I am a more hands on learner and a visual learner combined. To actually do the project is much easier for me.

I learn best from books or manuals that give deatiled information about how to do what I need to do, then I can extrapolate from there.

i'm a very visual learner. i have a sort of photographic memory and i can think of things in relation to where the info was on the page. maybe that's why i do better with paper books instead of internet textbooks cuz the print stays put. i also learn by doing. in calculus, i may think i know something with an example on the board, but it's not until i actually work the problems that i internalize what to do.

I learn best by figuring things out on my own. Once a teacher is done explaining something the first few times I try go really slowly but I understand what I'm doing rather than regurgitating info. I also tend to make my own little visuals or diagrams in my head. The more I can make it my own the more I learn.

Umm...I'm more of a visual learner or someone has to give me a visual description. 1 exp. is ...like, in math as long as the teacher deos 1 problem I'll already know how to do it, well that is if I'm paying attention...but if I'm not I just figure out how to answer the question.

What an awesome teacher ellen must be, this is a great idea, wish i was in her class!
I think I used to learn best by reading, but these days I'm much more of a visual learner. So i learnt more in two weeks repeatedly watching the five hour documentary 'Andrew Marr's History of Modern Britain' than i did in two terms reading scary-sized history books.

First, I have to say that I love this idea.
I think I'm more of a kinetic learner. I learn by doing. Audio-visual learning works for me on occasion, but I definitely learn best when I'm actually putting things into practice.

i'm so much more of a practical learner
i'm a nursery nurse so my job is pretty hands on anyway and alot of it is common sense. i did my college course for a year and it was more or less 'sit down and read a book' kind of thing which i hated but we also had a one day placement where we interacted in a work place and completed required units and that was so much better for me. and now im furthering my learning whilst working and its great!

so cool :) I'm from North Carolina, so you guys should DEF. do it. Okay, I guess I'll answer the question now - I'm a visual learner. I need a visual example of what I'm going to do, and then I'll do it. Like you said, editing videos. It helps to watch a tutorial online or something. If I try to read it, I get confused. That applies for all my classes, I need to see an example/the process of something for me to do it.

I usually learn by trying to understand a core part of whatever it is I'm trying to learn, and expanding from there. My memory isn't great so I really have to understand the underlying mechanics of something in order to remember it. So I learn by making sense of things really.

I am a kinetic learner. being able to do something and get involved allows you to learn by example, experimentation and gain experiance. In my opinion schools could do allot better if they adopted a more kinetic stategy. To many calsses sit students down and simply preach a mass of information that the students are expected to simply remember.....
02cspearson 3 years ago
......A little more thought could provide activity in which to learn. Kinetic learning gives benefit of being told AND doing it aswell. Primary schools seem to adopt a kinetic strategy more than older schools. perhaps is seen as immature to be doing? I am in 6th form, currently 17 and would in no way find a more practical kinetic approach less 'mature'.

probably visual. when im in a test thinking of the right answer, i can always picture exactly where the right information is in the book. i also like to write everything down a million times. it gets it into my head, rather than just rereading notes.

I'm exactly the same way on both counts! I, too, always remember where the right answer was in the book, even if I don't remember the right answer. I also rewrite important formulas or facts on a sheet of paper until I have them memorized.

I find I learn by detailed examples.
For example maths I find that if you give me a question and work through it step by step with me I will learn faster that way, instead of just giving me the question and telling me to work it out.
So I guess thats more of a visual learner.

I am a combination of both visual and kinetic learning. I watch someone do something and I am able to learn how to do that something by watching. Visual learning has helped me a vast amount in my drama and technical theatre classes. Watching how someone else acts or make something really inspires me to do the same.
I am a kinetic learner mostly in the classroom (especially tech theatre).

I like to figure things out for myself to mastery- but demonstrations are hugely helpful.

But I also have an awesome audio-visual memory, I am almost eidetic :)

I did a quiz thing once for a workshop for Sunday school teachers to see how we learn best... apparently lecture/with visuals is mine... which is good since that's how I get most of my tax CPE (continuing professional ed).

I learn best by having something explained to me. Once it is explained, it all makes sense in my head and if I read over it again, it'll all come back to me. Like re-watching a movie. You realise stuff the second time around. =D

I'm a visual learner according to the quiz I took in class once.
Usually, I can just remember and understand things easily. If I have trouble with a concept, I have to have it written down with lots of colors and arrows and said aloud maybe. Finally, after I do the problem several times and have it explained to me, it CLICKS! It's magical I tell you.
I hate having to listen to stuff in class... makes it monotonous and slower.

I learn well pretty much any way.
(I know, I'm pretty lucky.)
But I guess hearing stuff helps me the most, though, like if I'm memorizing something and say it out loud or if I'm listening to a teacher, that's usually better than a textbook.
But I can learn straight from a textbook too.

Hello!
I learn best by hearing what I need to learn. For example it is better for the teacher to actually say the information, rather than me just reading it from the textbook. This helped a lot in my history class because that subject is so boring to me anyway! I also seem to grasp ideas better from audiobooks, rather than reading normally (but dont get me wrong, reading is amazing as well)!
This project is a great idea!

What a cool idea! I learn best by doing, I find that if I can get experience actually interacting with something it sticks with me longer. I wanted to learn how to create a website a few years back, so I signed up for an HTML class where the teacher showed us something then we all turned around to the computers and did it ourselves. There were some cool tags and applications she demonstrated, and we got to make our own web page in class before we finished and started making our own sites. :)

I'm definately auditory, in lectures I rarely write anything because if I do it gets in the way of listening, instead I have to record the lecture and listen to it again later while writing notes. It also means that when I repeat the information out loud to someone else it really helps me to remember it so studying in groups helps.

For jsut about everythign else I do, it's me doing that thing that helps me learn best becuase it gives me the experience of doign it and figureing out what needs fixed. Like I make things from clay. I don't really use tutorials, I just try my best at making a prtotyp[e, then make an even better one.
