[nabs-l] My Spanish Lab

[Bridget Walker]

To tackle the visual learning question. I can not say it is the best answer however it is the one that I keep getting. A large majority of people are visual learners a and at least one lobe of the brain being the occipital lobe is responsible for visual processing. 
My answer 
I believe in a  sensory  approach that includes visual, auditory, and  kinesthetic approaches. I believe in using the students strongest modality to teach him or her new concepts. 
I am someone who believes in progressivist teaching because I think each student has their own unique style. 
So going back I am someone who loves diverse learning styles however, unfortunately we do not live in utopia. 
I can just tell you as a future teacher I will be a teacher who will teach to several learning styles.
