Week 5

I think that wikis can be a fun conversation piece, but I do not think that you can judge a person by one type or the other. I believe that would be very difficult because I myself find that I relate to more than one and I also believe that some things are not true in my instance. It just seems to be too broad to judge my students by that standard.

I believe that learning in learning communities would be more beneficial. I find that children who are in schools that encourage individualistic qualities seem to have better adjusted students who excel more academically than children who are in a stifled traditional setting. Traditional settings are geared toward visual learners and do not cater to other learning styles like learning communities does.

I do believe that students have different learning styles because of their personality types. I think it will help know the students better because as a teacher, I will have an indication of what various student learning styles may tend to be. For instance, a doer more than likely will have a kinesthetic learning style because they are always on the move.
