Learning Styles

The lecture for this week was a bit hard to follow as there were so many terms in the lecture notes that were linked to the Wikipedia or Webopedia. The lecture was interesting but I am not sure how many of those terms actually stayed in my memory. I was interested in that the “Learning Styles and Strategies” website was part of the reading assignment and as the site stated, most people are visual learners. I am a visual learner and feel that the videos and podcasts are very helpful. The "Warriors of the Net" video was interesting, easy to understand and a nice addition to the lecture. Nonetheless, the combination of both visual and verbal learning seems to be the most effective. I appreciated it when the lecture provides a video after the reading to provide a better understanding of the material. I feel that I understand the concept more after watching a video or podcast and reading improves my vocabulary and reading skills.
