Instructing to the different styles.
Even tho i have been hearing about these learning styles for years now i always forget them. I am a good instructor but if i try and think am I reaching this style or that syle i reach none becuase my focus is not on the class. But every time i read the styles i find out that I am doing what i am supposed to do according to the experts. How can you do this you may ask very easy make the class Fun and if you are not excited about what you are saying neither are the students. Show pictures if applicable have them, hold the item in their hands, relay stories about real life work experience, have a handout that you use and follow, and have projects. Wow this is easy I do all this and in one class so am I effecting all the students, according to the pros I am.
It always helps to have a few extra tricks in your back pocket.
The key point to this learning style thing is the lesson plan. A lesson plan should incorparate all learning stlyes, thereby leaving no one unattended.
I just try to hit a little of everything and the teaching style.
It looks like you are already teaching to the learning styles William! You're right, it is distracting to be constantly worrying about this as you are teaching a lesson. That's where lesson planning comes in. By planning ahead to incorporate these techniques you really don't have to think about them as you are teaching.
