designing for learners

Our group discussion was good this week. It took time for us to get a hold of each other because we all had busy weeks. Tyler and I were able to meet up and do it together. We communicated with Andrea about how we wanted to do the assignment and agreed on a way to do it. We decided to type all our answers and send them in the discussion then take some from each and combine them all together! Everyone has different learning styles and ways to teach like Tami in the case study. Students respond to different teaching methods and her students did not respond well to hers. The advice Rebekka gave her was great and she should take it into consideration and use some of it in her classroom. This will make Tami an overall better teacher. Teachers should take into account how everyone learns and that it is different. Therefore, they need to incorporate all types of learning when they teach, so everyone can learn equally. Some people are visual learners and others are auditory. Teachers could incorporate both of these by lecturing for auditory learners and slides for visual learners to look at while shes talking. This helps both types of learners. Also, hands on things always help people learn better, so they need to have activities to be involved in to help them better understand the material. There are so many different ways teachers can teach, but they have to look at their students to see what kind of method they should use.
