Learning styles – everyone’s is different. It’s one of many things that make us unique. Personally, I’m a visual learner – tell me something and I’ll probably forget it, but give me that same information in writing and I will be able to process and remember it for a long time.
I am one of the lucky ones. The modern education system is full of textbooks and written information; perfect for my learning style. However, If you’re a kinesthetic or auditory learner the system is not so kind.
Homeschooling and the problem with learning styles
One of the reasons homeschooling is so powerful for high school students is because the curriculum can be customized as opposed to the one-size-fits-all method used by public schools.
But, what if your homeschooler is a kinesthetic or auditory learner who struggles with a core subject like math or science? A traditional textbook may actually work against them, holding them back from experiencing a learning breakthrough.
Think about it – the kinesthetic learner thrives at the dissection table and the auditory learner might do well immersing in a foreign language or listening to a book on tape for their literature class. It’s the 21st century and it’s time for all learning styles to have resources that work well for them.
New eBook presents insights and solutions
My friend Kelsey, who is also a CollegePlus grad, has written the first ever eBook for homeschool families that explains how homeschool families can use an amazing piece of technology to help their students experience learning breakthroughs in math, science, history, and literature, no matter what their learning style – the iPad.
In the free eBook, How Homeschoolers Unlock Learning Breakthroughs With the iPad, you will learn how iPads are helping homeschoolers truly love learning and take more ownership of their education. And you will also get practical advice on helpful apps designed to help students of all learning styles experience learning breakthroughs in core subjects.
You can download the free iPad eBook, courtesy of CollegePlus.
Here’s a teaser from the eBook
In the eBook, you will learn about tools and apps to tailor your student’s educational experience to their exact learning style.
For example, with the Shakespeare in Bits app, students can read a play in smaller, digested bits, as well as jump right into the story with animated reenactments or full audio, voiced by prominent actors.
The Elements app not only allows you to pull up information about each element with the touch of a finger, but it also shows each element in 3D. Once the element is in 3D, you can spin the object with a touch of the finger to view it from all sides. This app goes a long way to help those kinesthetic learners who are wallowing through their Chemistry textbooks.
There’s a whole lot more to this eBook, so be sure to get your free copy today.
