speak in sentences. My parents never treated me like a baby, which I think had a lot to do with my development in learning things fairly quickly. They bought me all sorts of things that would help me become a more intelligent individual, such as, flashcards for math, Dick and Jane books for when I was a toddler, crossword puzzles, etc. You name it. Anything that had to do with education, I owned…
my visual memory. I also intend on making visual flashcards I have a photographic memory so it is easy for me to remember information when I have something visual to attach to meaning. For me I process information far more efficiently in a visual manner. Labeling things with words are not as effective as pictures for my learning style. Now when I combine my photographic memory with my ability to be a verbal learner such as visual flashcards with the definition of the word on the back it…
stayed on certain topics for a week. We always had worksheets or some type of song to learn to help with learning. We all seemed to learn through play and music. We had to bring in things with letter sounds and do show and tell. They used flashcards, small groups, and tried to keep the parents involved. We did not have technology back then. We had to go to the library and sit down with encyclopedias and different books. They would have award day to celebrate our achievements. When this…
I was laughing in class with my cousins on a hot summer morning. “Get to work!” shouted Mrs. Scott in a very serious tone. Mrs. Scott is my grandmother, a very caring woman who is all about intellect. Every summer, she would set up chairs, tables, and a portable chalkboard in her backyard for my siblings, my cousins and I to make sure we were taught to the best of our abilities. Summers with my grandmother was a hassle. She is a grandmother of six grandchildren, a Christian who is very…

As a visual person I can see myself learning things by looking at them and some aid are drawings, watching helpful videos, and creating flashcards to help me retain the information I need to do well in a class. Along with this I learned the…
As I have come to learn more about classroom management, learning styles, and the importance of treating students as individuals, I want to incorporate these principles in my future classroom. Because I feel that each child is a thinking person, I want to help them to think through their actions before actually acting. In order to do this, I will address actions in terms of happy or sad choices. Our class motto will be, "We make happy choices." This notion of placing the students ' feelings…
Memory is a complex system that constantly collects new stimuli and preserves previous experiences. This procedure consists of several multiplex steps to allow us to retain information over time. The method our brain uses to enhance our memories is through encoding, storage, and retrieval. Each level is extremely intricate and requires a plethora of attention. If a fault occurs within any of these processes, particular memories can be hindered. To prevent omissions, there are certain strategies…
As college students, we are pretty short on money. College is expensive, but that shouldn’t be a reason for people to miss an opportunity for a higher education. That being said textbooks are way too expensive for students, and we should stop paying such high prices for them. Today I’ll be talking about the problem with high priced textbooks, how universities should fix the problem, and what you can do to help. Prices of textbooks are reaching an all-time high. According to the College Board…
I had not thought about my reading habits until reading this chapter. Of course, I knew that reading is an essential part of many courses. During high school I had experienced many different kinds of reading — from history texts to mathematics explanations to research for a variety of papers, along with reading for pleasure. However, looking back, I do not think that I truly committed my self to learning what I was reading. Rather, I would read enough to complete the assignment, and maybe…
