I found the reading on multiple intelligences interesting. We are all so different in the way we best learn, and as a teacher this needs to be considered in our planning as it is easy to fall into a habit of teaching in the same way. Below are the results from the multiple intelligences test I did. I feel this is a good indicator of my learning styles. I believe I do learn easier through being shown and then by trialling it myself, as once I have practised I tend to retain it very quickly. Hence, why I had a panic attack after initially enrolling in this course by flex. I became overwhelmed by all the information I received, and although it is set out very straight forward, I prefer the face to face interaction and confirmation that I am on the right track. See my test results below from Bimingham Grid for Learning, have a go yourself, you might surprise yourself!
Hi my name is Cathy and this is the first blog I have ever had. I'm not going to lie, I am a bit nervous about this blogging thing as I have not had much previous experience with computers apart from using them to type up assignments and the Uni's moodle site. I find using new technologies very daunting, but I must admit once I get the hang of them, they can be very interesting and even enjoyable.
