let me just try and give you a few

teaching tactics to deal with this kind

of visual Learners you provide these

kind of Learners with an outline of the

subject which has to be covered during

your entire session don't start straight

away you just give them an outline and

then you can replace those chunks of

text with graphs with diagrams you

present the data very very interestingly

you spread it so that there is a visual

appeal and they are you know interested

to see what you are trying to convey try

to use opposing colors when you want to

emphasize the contrast I'm sure most of

you are already using all these things

this is just to refresh your memories

and to make it as a recall and if there

are new teachers who have signed up this

would help them as they go on with their

careers use concept maps with key points

circles boxes arrows to connect the

information so that they are able to

mentally form a picture and make the

connection you can encourage the visual

Learners to take down notes and jot down

key facts even as you speak don't make

them sit and just just listen to you in

the class you can ask them to jot down

the key points so that as they jot down

they are able to create a mental map

within themselves a few handy tips for

the visual Learners remember research

says

65% of the Learners in our class are

visual Learners so that's a whole

majority any class that you take

research says about 65% are visual

Learners so you encourage them to make

their own mind Maps use color coding

they can create reading slips flashcards

anything to make the content interesting

in such a way they can assimilate it so

that's about the visual kind of a

learner then we move to the auditory

learner remember the V K the VAR model

talks about the auditory learner now

these are few uh students in the class

who prefer listening to explanations

they would be able to retain the

information better while listening the

other listeners so they prefer the oral

medium the oral is the content to such

students you have the podcasts there's a

whole array of things that are available

for these kind of students in today's

world then you have the webinars they

can listen to conferences and be

benefited by that participate in

workshops and then one-on-one meetings

sometimes spok en summaries of texts

here I would like to tell you when I was

studying I used to have my friends who

would just tell me give me five points I

would just like to have five points on

this question so that I can go and write

the exam so that benefits the person who

is helping them because it helps to

reinforce our own learning and it also

helps The Listener because they are able

to grasp so these are the kind of people

who can make use of peer buddies you

have talking books or audio books books

which can convert the chunk of

information into audio and then of

course the PowerPoint uh stories can be

there with audio

narratives they love to listen to

interviews speeches they would love to

participate in debates love to give

lectures and talks they're very good at

role playing and they love to read aloud

and of course as I told you peer buddies

or learning buddies are the best way to

try and engage these kind of Learners

the auditory type of Learners find it

easy to remember what they hear they

concentrate best by receiving

information by listening to themselves

or to someone else talking and they

repeat that information in their heads

so you will find them talking with their

maybe in front of a mirror you will try

and see them talking so that whatever

information is there gets into their

heads they will enjoy understand and

remember knowledge best from these

lectures discussions radios podcasts

mobile phone talks presentations and of

course by talking things through it's

also uh typical for them to learn things

loudly the selft talk I spoke to you

about talking to themselves in front of

a mirror this is called a selft talk

this serves to help sort things out by

vocalizing them so you need to vary your

class your presentation approach to

include group work paired readings

experiments plays projects and in

general keep the entire class of

students in their best social element

research says 30% are auditory Learners

in a class so you can even record your

own explanations for them many of these

students did very well during the online

classes because they were able to listen

to whatever you were sending as audio

files you can encourage group

discussions in the class and also ask

them to study with soft instrumental

music in the background that also works

so that's the second kind of a learner

now we come to the r model that is the

reading and the writing learning type

the this type they consume information

best when they see it all in words most

of us Educators fall under that category

because we are more given to reading a

lot picking out whatever people say we

would not like to take it from that we

would like to see these chunks of text

by ourselves so this is very very

popular amongst Educators a text based

input and output is quite favorable with

this kind of learners these kind of

Learners love to look into reports

essays manuals case studies Diaries

dictionaries and textual PowerPoint

presentations so it's all about words

words and words so we need to provide

some easy to digest notes and summaries

for these kind of students in the class

you can even prepare a transcript of

your videos and podcasts you can ensure

that your class has notebooks and pens

so that they can even take notes by

themselves and put this subject in their

own words so you have to have this

varied fair when you are dealing with a

class remember that your class is made

up of this kind of variety after all

variety is the spice of life and then of

course we move on to the last kind of

Learners in the class in the VAR

category that is the the kind athetic

Learners you would see some students

were all the time fidgeting and not

sitting in the class they would like to

use a Hands-On approach they prefer

things physical physical activities so

when you ask them to sit down quietly in

the class then they really face a lot of

difficulty they can't learn while they

sit down 5% of Learners are known to be

kinesthetic Learners they learn best

through activities they love to take

frequent study breaks and they also

learn better while they are moving

you'll see some people reading a text as

they move from one end to the other

don't blame them it's all in their genes

they are the kinesthetic kind of

Learners so they appreciate

demonstrations

simulations exhibitions

performances and they can present case

studies by participating in experiment

ments videos and movies more than what

we have spoken about or seen about the

previous kind of Learners they enjoy a

handson approach on the subject that

they are learning about use a lot of

real life examples applications and case

studies in your presentations to help

with abstract Concepts you can ask them

to redo lab experiment ments or projects

you can utilize pictures and photographs

which are able to illustrate your idea

after all there is a problem of Plenty

in today's world there's nothing that

you cannot tap into all these are

available in plenty on the net so make

use of all this to engage these

different kinds of Learners in the class

and then you have the group Learners

they learn well in Social settings these

are the ones who do very well to

collaborate and they have team building

skills try and include as many as group

learning activities in the classroom

group projects posters or presentations

group discussions formal or informal you

know we have such tools like put on a

thinking cap the think pair share turn

and talk partner up gallery walk all

these are very good tools that Educators

can use to engage these students who

will do well as a group and then of

course there are the loners the

individual Learners learning alone as

opposed to in a group is what they

prefer and they are able to have a

greater focus when they self-study now

this learning style connects with the

intrapersonal multiple intelligence I'm

sure all of you have heard about

multiple intelligences by Howard Gardner

so this comes under the

intrapersonal multiple intelligence

individual learning activities like

independent reading solo study sessions

then you have I see I think I wonder

these are all tools which a teacher can

have in her toolkit remember everyone

has a toolkit now teachers have toolkits

where there are lot of tools like all

these that I've been mentioning there

can can be an exit ticket an entry

ticket a 32 1 all these can be used and

things like I used to think but now I

know these are all the various tools

Educators can use in this classroom to

engage the solo learner
