I learned that my students may seem the same:young kids in elementary school but  they are very different in their learning styles.  As teacher it is very important to try and reach all the kids. I need to be open minded  and aware of doing thing in class in many different ways.

By learning about different approaches regarding cleaning the house you come to understand that each person has its own way to do things. As teachers, we can harness this information when we come to help our students understand what we are teaching .We need to take into account that every individual "internalizes" the material differently

The examples that we used during the class were interesting and engaging. They helped me understand the concept of learning styles: not only do they differ for every learner, they should also be grasped and improved. I believe it is important to be flexible both as a teacher and as a learner. If you understand your learning style, you can be aware of your strengths and weaknesses, you can reflect on your learning preferences and see what works well for you and your students.

I've never thought that much about how I do things, so when I started to think about how I do things and how I learn, I was more than sure that my way was the best, the easiest, and the most logical. I was amazed to hear that even in our small group of 23 students, there were people who did things in ways I'd never even tried. The most extreme ways of learning and doing things were convenient and had a sense for them. Indeed what is good for one man may not be suitable for another. That is why it's important to remember that we are all different, and as teachers, we have to keep in mind that our students learn in different ways. Sometimes we need to teach them how to do things differently from what they are doing but never let them feel wrong about their way of doing things.

We are all so different  in every aspect of our lives. We all clean, cook and even study differently.
None of us are the same. I have my preferences of quiet and calmness when cleaning and cooking where as my colleagues might have something completely different that suits them.   Neither of us is wrong in the way we choose to do those things. In fact, the differences  is what makes each person unique and beautiful.  The ways that we conduct ourselves on a day to day basis is comfortable for us but not always for others.
Knowing this we need to remember that our students are also individuals  and have their own ways of doing things too. We need to respect their choices.
My mother taught me some things in the kitchen but I have chosen to add my own style. It could be the same in the classroom where I teach the students how to study the way I know best but they adjust it to suit their needs and comfort zone.

I've learnt that:

·         my best way of learning/doing things may work only for me;

·         I'm balanced somewhere between global and analytic, and it always changes depends on the task I need to do, the time I have for it, the purpose of it, whether I have a partner, etc. (I bet that if you ask my husband to define me, he would say extreme analytical, because he always asks me to 'cut corners' in cleaning/cooking, but I have to do things my way…);

·         not intentionally, I usually teach according to my preference of learning, which can be problematic, because it is clear that not all of my students share my preferences;

·         it's a shame that although I learned this specific course with Melodie in my B.Ed. 14 years ago, I haven't changed my teaching style too much. I guess that implementing things is not so easy, because if it doesn't come naturally to you, you have to work hard to make it work;

·         I need to ask my students directly what works for them, as Yaarit suggested, and if they are lost and don't have an effective way of learning, I should give them explicit guidance of different learning strategies that they might find efficient;

Learning about different ways to perform an activity whether cleaning the house or preparing a family meal provided information about specific preferences  of different people ,this wide range of individual
differences means that there is no single method in doing an activity.The same applies to our students .We as teachers should understand different learning styles to develop more efficient eductional programs and determine the most effective training techniques to show their talent and learn in ways that work for them. In addition they can be pushed to learn in ways that do not come so easily in a supporting environment.

Today we learnt that people do and experience things differently.
There is some connection to which part of the brain is dominant in relation to this, depending on the way in which people do things. When we talked about how people prepare food, some said, for example, that they prepare one dish at a time and only prepare the required ingredients for thagt dish before they move onto another. Whereas others said they would prepare all their onions for all dishes even if they weren't going to be cooking all the dishes at the same time. It was interesting to hear everyone's methods and I related to a few of them (Mira and Orlee).

In terms of how this could be related to the classroom, I think that it is to be mindful of the individuality of our students. Everyone learns in a different way and not all students can perhaps connect to every lesson and they way it is instructed. To be mindful of all learner types.

I felt that this lesson really got me thinking even more about all the different ways one thing can be done. This is something we always know in the back of our head but while teaching not something you always think about. When a student does something different it doesn't mean it is wrong or more difficult. it might even be easier for him to do it that way. In addition, it made me think about myself and that some of the other ways told in class could help me become more efficient with certain things. It won't change me completely but might help me be more focused.

I learned from the first session today that all people have different perspective of how they act and how its indicate their thinking and priorities. I know that people think differently, but today I heard it in the true and personal comments. I learned that there is a global and analytic way to think & learn and that I as a teacher should be aware to the students learning styles and expose them to different styles of learning. thank you for the enlightening lesson today.

While listening to other people opinions in this interesting lesson, I have learned that different people have different ways of thinking and doing things. Some people are sure that they work best at a certain  situation under certain condition. There is  no way of doing things right.
or wrong.There are individual differences regarding Global and Analytic thinking.

First of all, I have to say that this lesson was so interesting. sometimes I think to myself 'wow i'm a freak doing it this way' and it was so funny to see how i'm not the only one doing things in the specific way that in my view they should be done.
Also, I was sure that my way of doing things is the most reasonable way and any other way just doesn't make sense and I was surprised  to see the logical thinking behind other people choices and acts.
It could be applied in the classroom where I teach the students how to study the way I know best but they adjust it to suit their needs.

The exercises about the various methods were quite eye- opening. Who knew that by talking about cleaning styles or chopping an onion could be so insightful? Hearing the different styles allowed me to stretch what I thought to be were the only methods out there... Little did I know:-) Taking these things into account, it helps us realize that as teachers, we must be aware of the different styles to do any given tasks , furthermore, we must also accept that our students may be used to working in a certain manner, regardless of its efficiency. It is our role not only to expose them to various styles but to also allow them to explore what suits them best in the long run.

Rachel.    I ALWAYS learn so much from all of you. You always bring up things that I wouldn't necessarily have thought about or cause me to think about things differently. I think that understanding that our students are just like us, as in they all study so differently is one of the most importnant things we as teachers need to understand. I also believe that one of our main roles is to help each student find their  individual "best way" to study as there is no "one size fits all".

I've learned that there are different ways and different techniques for people to do certain things. Also, you cannot force anyone to use your method but rather introduce it to him/her and let him/her do decide whether to accept it or not. No matter how many times I tell my sister to clean dust first before mopping, she just won't do it, it just wont make sense to her to dust before mopping.

There are so many different ways of doing things and most of the times people are not aware that others are doing things differently than you. It all depends on how each person function; if you are an analytical person who needs to see details or more Global that needs to see the big picture. There are always going to be the extremes but most people are balanced and change their ways according to circumstances. In the classrooms we should be aware of the extremes and expose them to different ways of doing things so they will have an opportunity to do things differently, if they can.

There are different ways to do things. The way that is best in your opinions is best for you but not necessarily best for everyone else. There are different patterns of how people do things. Sometimes you are not even aware of the possibility to do things in a different way. Some people are adamant to do things their way, not realizing that there are other possibilities to do things. sometimes people have an extreme approach in which they insist on doing thing in a certain way even if it does not work for them. It is our job to teach ourselves and our students to ask "Does this work for me?". It is important to be exposed to different possibilities to do things. but at the same time, it is extremely important not to judge someone if it's hard for them to do something in a certain way.

I really understood that as a teacher I have to be very open-minded to accept every student's way of doing things. We generally use to give instruction to guide our students how to do things "better" and we need to make sure that still, each student can do his own work on the way and method which make sense for him althought it doest make sense at all to me.

Individual Differences- Global vs Analytic

As teachers we need to recognize and understand that students have individual differences that express who they are and their way of learning.  Being sensitive to these differences will help foster student's language learning, understanding and achievement.

I learned that actually the approach that seems most logical to me can be really irrational for someone else.
From this I learned that I should pay attention if one of my students is studying or organizing her time in a way that is comfortable and good for her I should understand and accept this and not think it does not make sense at all.
The rule is that what makes sense to me does not always make sense to the other.

What I learned from today's session is that I should have patience towards different styles of learning and be open minded to learn new ways.

Teachers should stretch into new ways of learning styles.

Sometimes we study or learn differently than what we are used to depending the circumstances, what we are asked / supposed to do.

Sometimes we are forced to do something at a certain way and it's hard and we feel we can't. We, as teachers, should be open minded and guide our pupils to find their special way of learning. Every child is unique and has his own special way of learning new things.

Some people are extreme and some are balanced and I should have patience to every one of them.

The different learning styles I learned about today are:

-Global

- Analytic

Kids are not familiar with new styles of learning. Adults, both parent and educators should expose youngsters to new ways of studying in order to help them learn the best way for them!

# data[].attributes.body
Different styles -

Global - big picture

Analytic - details one at a time

There are lots of ways to do things - more than we can think of ourselves. Other people have different ways of doing things. What is good for you might not be good for someone else. We can learn from other people. We can try different ways but they might not be good for us. Some things are automatic and we don’t even think about how we do them.

I know how I do things but I don’t know how other people do them.

Some people are more organised, some more haphazard.

Some can follow instructions, but some can’t

Some people do things in certain ways because that’s how they are, but it isn’t necessarily the best way even for them.

We should let people do things in their own ways.

Sometimes we don’t like doing things in a certain way, but we have to do it like that anyway. Sometimes we can be flexible.

We want people to stretch and try different things and open their eyes by sharing ideas

Kids need to be taught HOW to learn.

Sometimes we can let people do things their way but sometimes we do need to have standards and requirements that everyone has to do even if it’s not their preferred way.
