= Our Class Page is dedicated to Learning Strategies. = =These techniques could be examples of the ways we learn, or need to learn by example or personal connections. Our class will become a collabrotive and cohesive community of learners. To acheive this goal we must all be responsible, respectful and building strong relationships with other class and school members. =




 * Look at the chart below. There are different type of learning styles and many of us fall into all three at times. But, by this chart I am a Kinesthetic and Tactile Learner. This means, I have more success when I use my hands and body to do things. I have a more difficult time when someone tells me how to do something than if they show me how to do and I practice the skill. **

In our class we will use a balance of all three styles in classwork, presentations and homework assignments.
