=__//**Learning Survey:**//__=

__ ** The results of bryan wohlgemuth's learning inventory are: ** __ __** Visual/Nonverbal 30 Visual/Verbal 18 Auditory 22 Kinesthetic 28 ** __ __** Your primary learning style is: ** __ __** The Visual/ Nonverbal Learning Style ** __

 __ You learn best when information is presented visually and in a picture or design format. In a classroom setting, you benefit from instructors who use visual aids such as film, video, maps and charts. You benefit from information obtained from the pictures and diagrams in textbooks. You tend to like to work in a quiet room and may not like to work in study groups. When trying to remember something, you can often visualize a picture of it in your mind. You may have an artistic side that enjoys activities having to do with visual art and design. __  __ ** Learning Strategies for the Visual/ Nonverbal Learner: ** __  __ Make flashcards of key information that needs to be memorized. Draw symbols and pictures on the cards to facilitate recall. Use highlighter pens to highlight key words and pictures on the flashcards. Limit the amount of information per card, so your mind can take a mental "picture' of the information. __  __ Mark up the margins of your textbook with key words, symbols, and diagrams that help you remember the text. Use highlighter pens of contrasting colors to "color code" the information. __   __ When learning mathematical or technical information, make charts to organize the information. When a mathematical problem involves a sequence of steps, draw a series of boxes, each containing the appropriate bit of information in sequence. __  __ Use large square graph paper to assist in creating charts and diagrams that illustrate key concepts. __  __<span style="color: black; font-family: Times; font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"> Use the computer to assist in organizing material that needs to be memorized. Using word processing, create tables and charts with graphics that help you to understand and retain course material. Use spreadsheet and database software to further organize material that needs to be learned. __ <span style="color: black; font-family: Times; font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"> __<span style="color: black; font-family: Times; font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"> As much as possible, translate words and ideas into symbols, pictures, and diagrams. __

I learned what I had perceived about myself for a long time, that I am a visual learner. I have always done better when seeing things on the board, slide shows (since PowerPoint was not around when I was in high school), or videos. After going through the CAST website ([|www.cast.org]) I found it very nice and full of information. In addition, I noticed that it has many visual cues and sub-links that would benefit a visual learner such as myself. It would be an online book that I would possibly recommend for someone to look into, as it gives a lot of insight and information. In regards to the activities, I did not enjoy or find much use out of the ones I participated. I did some problem solving skill based exercises that reaffirmed my belief that I have decent to above average problem solving skills, and am aware where I am lacking in terms of this skill set. It is however, something that I would gladly recommend to an individual that has difficulty with this matter. Overall, I was very impressed with the CAST website and the knowledge that is readily available to you, and would recommend it to any student so that they could look into it for what information they seek.

=__//**<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Field Trip **//__= In my opinion, nothing beats actually going to a museum, time and location permitting. Due to various reasons, not everyone is able to attend trips to museums as often as they would like, or even to the ones they want to visit. It is reasons like this that have allowed virtual field trips to become more popular and begin to take off. If someone has children or is teaching children, these virtual museums are great for young kids who have shorter attention spans and might become a little fussy when on a field trip. Online virtual environments might also enable them to receive the information in a more direct manner and in particular the information that they want. There is still something missing from this environment. The actual experience of physically going somewhere and seeing and smelling places also add to the experience. This cannot be replicated in a virtual environment, so the kids/students would only be getting half of the environment. Sure saving time and money is nice, but more kids need to get out there and do it, I did and have treated my children to this as well, and one day hope they take their kids to one too.

The following is my thoughts on assistive technology, and its role in the education of children with disabilities.



=<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">__//**Podcast**//__ = On June 4, 1940 Winston Churchill gave a speech to parliament warning about possible nazi actions and what they must do. This is an excerpt from one of his famous speechs. This one is commonly known as "Fight on the Beaches";

This speech would be be appropriate for a student in high school, as it is a precursor to World War I.

=__//**Digital Storytelling:**//__= This is a video story of Sir Winston Churchills Speech to Parliament on June 4, 1940 in regards to the German advances throughout Europe.
