Week 9 Learning Styles and Technology

The most important task this week is the final project report. My partner Rudi has given me some very good suggestions and I revised my report with his help. I’d like to thank Rudi for being constantly encouraging and supportive. Another thing for me to do is to explore how to cater to learning styles/multiple intelligences through technology. I read Richard Felder’s Learning Styles and Strategies and visited http://eduscapes.com/tap/topic68.htm and learned about different tech tools that support multiple intelligences. The next thing for me to do then is to think about how could I use the tools and techniques we’ve learned from the course to address different learning styles. But obviously it is not an easy job to accommodate different learning styles in large classes with or without technology. This is where Sean intervened and introduced me with some thing new—the flipped classroom. Therefore I move on to explore what is a flipped classroom and share what I read about flipped classroom on Nicenet.

What is good about this course is that we always get the chance to learn something new. Although I still have a lot to learn about flipped learning, and so as to all the other topics we have covered throughout the course, as Sean had put it, at the ninth week into the course, I feel like I am now walking away with my pockets full of ways to enhance my teaching environments. I’d like to extend my sincere thanks to Sean, for his constant guidance and help, and for all my colleagues from whom I have learned a lot. Thank you all!
