Learning Styles... Or Teaching Styles?

It's not terrifically surprising that teachermagazine on twitter provides some interesting and helpful articles.
"Teacher in a Strange Land" by Nancy Flanagan is proof of that.
Ms. Flanagan brings up an interesting point - our perception about different learning styles may be a little off base.  In a testing of learning styles of middle school students, the majority of boys showed themselves to be kinesthetic learners.  She poses a retort: "they'd rather be shooting baskets than bubbling in a scantron sheet."

We may or may not believe in different learning styles (especially what students tell us they might be).
We do know, however, if we ask any experienced teachers, that the more (and more different) ways we can present information the better our students will learn.

Once again, students' learning depends on how much we as teachers are willing to put our time and effort towards!
