A good way for me to learn about my students' learning styles is to play games with them on the first day of class. For example, I have students listen to my background information (education, likes, and dislikes) and "quiz" them on the information. I also write this information on the board and show pictures of things. This helps me identify how the students remembered the information. Even though this is a college class, I like to play BINGO with the students on the first day. Don't you remember those days when you would have to get a classmate to sign a box of one thing that applies to him/her such as "Born in Texas" or "Has gone Scuba diving." This not only gets the students up and moving around, but also helps me identify who remembers meeting whom while getting up and meeting eachother.
