“There are three kinds of men. The one that learns by reading. The few who learn by observation.
The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence for themselves.” –Will Rogers  

Another area where you will see diverse abilities is in the area of learning styles. What is your learning style: visual, auditory, tactile (hands on)? Often it is difficult to teach some concepts in a tactile manner; therefore, we don’t often see tactile instruction used with all concepts but many teachers do use it when they feel it addresses the concepts being taught. How do you know what type of learner you are?  Please listen to the Learning Styles video below and take the Learning Styles Quiz to assist you in determining your own learning styles while gaining knowledge about the learning styles of others.
