What is a Learning Style?
A learning style capitalizes on the way YOU learn
best. It uses your predominant
intelligence(s) to more efficiently transfer
learned information into memory. More
efficient transfer More efficient recall! All
of us have preferred learning styles. Your
assignment is twofold - Find out your
preferred learning style - Develop ideas that
will capitalize on this learning style
