I understood the point he was trying to make, but I didn’t like his example of a list of words.
If I wanted a student to remember that list of words, and I knew they were visual learners, I wouldn’t present the information in pictures – I’d ask THEM to create the pictures. If I had an auditory learner, I wouldn’t read the list to them, I’d have them create a song to help them remember the words or I’d have them say the words to each other. I think the key is not in how the information is presented, but in how students transform it to make it their own, and that’s where learning styles can come into play. It’s what they DO with the information to make it their own that is important.

Wow Janice-what a good point–why I have I never thought about “learning styles” from that perspective…
