After all these many years of enjoying attending school and higher education, it has\u00a0been fascinating to\u00a0learn so much about my learning preferences.\u00a0\u00a0School plays well into my\u00a0bi-modal learning preferences…or is it that my bi-modal\u00a0learning preferences play well with school?<\/p>\n
I have always taken notes and, usually (but not always), gone back over them prior to a test.\u00a0 It just seems to me that writing it out accomplishes some sort of muscle-memory\u00a0“thing” for me and I don’t really have to go back over my notes so diligently.\u00a0\u00a0At long last, I have found that there is a name for that kind of learning:\u00a0read\/write AND kinesthetic.\u00a0 The examples that teachers utilize to bring a\u00a0point home work with me.\u00a0 And I need that in order to\u00a0learn more effectively.\u00a0 I just had never\u00a0put the effort into finding the terminology for my learning preferences.\u00a0 Must be my right-brain procrastination taking over.<\/p>\n
So now that I know what goes on\u00a0with me and learning,\u00a0I can put into practice more\u00a0effective tools for utilizing them\u00a0and the way I am.\u00a0 I have good things going for me and that’s exciting!\u00a0 On-line classes use reading and writing and examples and practical applications: wow!\u00a0 I should excel at on-line classes!<\/p>\n
Well, what should be and what actually happens….hmmmm.\u00a0 Already, I\u00a0performed miserably on a test because I had not put my preferences of note taking into practice.\u00a0 Lesson learned.\u00a0 I’m doing much better in the class this week but I won’t know the results until the next text.\u00a0 But I’m aware of what I need to do and I’m doing it!\u00a0 Plus the class has some extra credit material to help me out.\u00a0 Yay!\u00a0 Reading and writing!\u00a0 This I can do: just have to put procrastination\u00a0into the trash bin.<\/p>\n
Then there are\u00a0my felines: my beautiful and distracting felines.\u00a0 Watching them is a distraction but that is workable.\u00a0 Right now they are napping….all of them!\u00a0 There’s a miracle.\u00a0 So it’s easier for me to apply myself to this task.\u00a0 Yet, I find that I am very much like my felines.\u00a0 They’re paws-on and I’m hands-on.\u00a0 They live in the moment as do I: hence, my difficulty with procrastination.\u00a0 (If it’s not a pressing issue now, then it is not that important.\u00a0 It’s sure easy to let\u00a0tasks slide that way) And\u00a0my felines and I share a fascination with nature and birds:\u00a0differing in perspective but still something we share.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
