Upon reviewing the weekly outlines of weeks 1 and 2, I found it was a great idea as an activity for us to simple introduce ourselves on the "Coffee Club" Forum. For those of us who aren't as technologically gifted as we would like to be, I found this a great activity.
As "learning managers" in training, I feel it is important to try and catch up with the younger generation who has had exposure to such technologies in their early stages of life, therefore making it less of an alien to concept to them.
In week 2, I undertook a learning activity to determine my "learning style" As no surprise to me, my result was displayed as a VISUAL learner. In a posting I made in response to "Learning style results" by fellow peer Lean Thinee on the "Learning Design Forum" on the 11 of March, i stated that,
"I think maybe with the increase of digital technologies that children use these days, a lot more students may appear as VISUAL learners. "
In response to this, Lecturer Scot Aldred stated that my point of view had been supported by 'Profiling Research' that his students had done in the past.

Hi Michael
ReplyDeleteJust following through on your statement that the increase in the use of ICT in the classroom creating more visual learners, do you think that (by extension) the traditionally successful students who were verbal/written language learners will find it increasingly difficult?
Cheers,
