How I Learn

I had taken the How I learn Test. As I was reading the questions I began thinking. I got to the end of the test and submitted it. I was reading my results, and noticed I had already known that. I learn by listening and hands on materials. It is easier for me to listen and have things repeated and sunk into my head. Visual learning is not the easiest  thing for me. If there is a activity that the class is supposed to be dong I will need to be shown one on one so I know how to do it. This is how I learn.

Poll Everywhere and Wordle

I believe that Poll Everywhere and Wordle are great tools to use in the classroom. Poll everywhere is a great program to use if you would like to have a short assessment or just to get your students to give an answer. Wordle is also is a great tool just because the students may see what everyone else is thinking. It is a great way to have a visual content that is very creative for the students.


When I become the teacher that I want to be I will be using these tools in my classroom. I thnk it is a great way for my students to have hands on activities. I will integrate them in as much as I can It can be a huge help for students to learn the materials that needs to be learned.

I also belive that an educator must be willing to learn about all of the different tools that they can integrate inside of the classroom. the more creative the educator most likely the students will be interested in learning the materials. You cold plan a entire lesson just using these two tools. Students will have more feedback within the topic. This will give a chance for all of the students to answer. It is a great way to get all of your students involved in the class.
