As an instructor it is important to know that people learn differenf ways, and that multiple intelligences are what we will come across when we teach students. I want to be able to reach all my students, and cater to their preferences of learning so they do well in class, graduate, and become productive members of society. I believe that everyone can be taught, just in different ways. My dental career courses and classes are put up that I will have a one on one contact with the student, know their learning preferences, and guide them with what they have learned through the process. I see it as a joy when learners try their best to do well and become productive members of society.
As I continue my teaching career, I am finding it easier to reach my virtual students than my ground students. It is as if my ground students are disengaged. I am taking into account that everyone learns differently, and trying to find ways to capture the attention of these different learning styles. But at the end of the day, I feel as if I am falling short, and I am failing my students. Therefore, I am considering adding social media as component for these classes, and EL110 adds validity to my decision.
I agree! Every student has a individual style of learning and this course provided great insight as to not only why but how to apply leasons that will capture each student.
