Educational habits and strategies
To make the best use of my learning style, there are certain strategies that I can follow. Firstly, color coding my textbook with different color pens will make it easy for me to remember information. Also, going through my textbook and lecture notes that contain key points of the topic will help me to learn them well. Writing out key phrases, using computer print-outs and "stick it" notes on prominent places can help me to remember concepts better.
Some of the steps that an instructor can take to make it easy for me and others with a similar learning style is to present information as visually as possible. Using black boards, overhead projectors and flash cards can make it easier for me to learn and understand concepts better. The power point presentations or flash cards should contain only a limited information on each page or card so that...
These are some of the strategies that can be used by an instruction to help people with a visual learning style to understand and remember information.
Conclusion
In short, each individual has a different learning style and it can be broadly classified into visual, auditory or tactile learning. It is a good idea to understand one's learning style and use strategies that will improve the learning abilities and the overall productivity of the individual. My learning style is visual or verbal and I have to use strategies like stick it notes and flash cards to enhance my learning skills.

Learning Style Inventory My results: learning style inventory When I learned that my predominant learning styles were those of a visual learner and a social learner, I was not surprised. The theory of multiple learning styles of Howard Gardner resonates what I have known intuitively for a long time: different people are innately talented at different things. "Unlike the established understanding of intelligence -- people are born with a uniform cognitive capacity
Using a variety of teaching methods can help integrating the learning of language from one subject to another. One study of bilingual students in Papua New Guinea found that that up to 39% of mathematical errors were language related and another study of bilingual Filipino-English students found that they were better at solving word problems presented in their native language, despite having fluency in both languages in other subjects
Learning Styles and Academic Achievement: Are Parent's Expectations Too High? High school education perhaps is the turning point of adolescence academic life. Within few years, students usually work hard and get involved in emotional conflicts and endeavors to prepare themselves for higher study. High school students and their parents often understand that students have limited time to find out what they want to do later in their life, how they figure
Learning Styles and Neuroanatomy of the Left & Right Hemispheres of the Brain This is a paper concerning learning styles and the right/left hemispheres.

For example, I never appreciated my History classes, especially in high school, when we learned almost exclusively from reading textbook lessons. However, I greatly enjoy watching the History Channel; in fact, I have been very surprised that I sometimes find myself watching episodes on topics that I found boring in school. This project has helped me understand how important it is for me to have some kind of visual component
Choosing the most effective style that relates to one's individual personality is very useful in terms of increasing one's learning strengths. I have personally found that in reality most people combine a number of learning styles in developing their unique approach to learning. From my perspective I have found that a combination of both imaginative and analytical learning styles best suits my needs. The emphasis in my approach is however
