Meet Allen. Allen is a kinesthetic learner. When he was a child, his favorite classes in school (besides PE) were his second-grade math class where the teacher allowed the students to play with manipulatives to learn new concepts; his seventh-grade English class where the teacher often had students stand and act out what they were reading; and his high school science classes where they did a lot of experiments, dissections, and physical demonstrations.

Still, most of the time, Allen felt like he wasn't as smart as the other kids, and he got in trouble often for being "hyperactive" and tapping his foot or his pencil at his desk (Hutton, 2013). In college, when he discovered what his learning style was, he learned to break up his reading assignments so he wasn't sitting for long periods of time and that it was okay to change positions and move around while he was studying.

Now an adult, Allen loves his job as an occupational therapist assistant because it allows him to be hands-on and active throughout the day. He wants to move forward in his career, but to do so, he has to go back to school. With his work schedule, Allen knows an online program would be the best option, but he dreads the thought of sitting in front of a computer for hours upon hours to complete his coursework.

Kinesthetic learning focuses on active participation in the learning experience. Unlike learners who are comfortable watching videos or reading textbooks, kinesthetic learners prefer to be in motion and engage all their senses. This might seem difficult to achieve in the online classroom-it's traditionally text and video heavy, after all-but that doesn't make it any less important for course developers to consider. So, without further ado, let's take a look at how Allen's online program might be able to help meet his unique learning style.

Course Design Principles for Kinesthetic Learners

When you design an online course, suggests that you include instructional materials, assessments, and other course elements that meet the needs of a diverse learning audience. Doing so ensures that your course not only is accessible, but also meets the learning preferences of your students, including kinesthetic learners. If you have impact on the design of your course, such as the creation of assessments and the selection or writing of resources, consider the following tips for addressing a kinesthetic learning style.

Make course materials as immersive as possible.

As Allen's story demonstrates, kinesthetic learners are at their strongest when all their senses are fully engaged in what is in front of them. Often, we think of online learning as primarily engaging the eyes and maybe the ears, which leaves out kinesthetic learners' strongest sense for retention (touch).

However, advancements in technology open up the possibility for content that can engage all the senses like never before. For example, you could use interactive flash animation, tablet-based activities, interactive presentations, virtual reality environments, and simulations to create immersive experiences for online students (Pappas, 2016; Wood & Sereni-Massinger, 2016). It's important to note, however, that these options might not be ADA compliant. Just as it's important to meet the needs of kinesthetic learners, it's also important to provide options for students who might not be able to use these types of activities.

Even simple enhancements to lectures such as including pictures or sound effects can help remind kinesthetic learners of the real-life situations that the material is related to and can thus increase retention (Pappas, 2016).

Incorporate interactive elements in course materials.

Even if you don't have the time or resources to create highly immersive materials, you can still introduce tactile elements into your course through simple learning management system tools such as drag-and-drop activities and flash cards (Kato, 2017). According to Pappas (2016), "the mere act of clicking on an object and moving it to a target can make online learners feel more connected and improve knowledge retention."

Along the same lines, mind-mapping activities and assignments give students the opportunity to lay out images and make connections in a more tactile way.

Create assignments that have real-life connections.

Kinesthetic learners benefit from material that they can connect to emotionally and that helps them visualize the real-life applications of abstract concepts. Thus, it's helpful to replicate real-life experiences through role-playing activities and case studies (Wood & Sereni-Massinger, 2016).

Branching scenarios can also help introduce real-world applications and simulate higher stakes that will engage kinesthetic learners (Pappas, 2016). These scenarios give students opportunities not only to participate tactilely, but also to see outcomes and receive feedback in a more immersive way than a typical activity or quiz.

Use video creation assignments.

Asking students to create videos can help encourage kinesthetic learners to incorporate physical action to the information they are learning, thus helping them retain it. For example, you could ask students to keep a video blog or make videos of themselves performing a task related to the course material (Kato, 2017).

Keep lectures short and novel.

Keeping video lectures short is a general best practice in online education. Each video should address a discrete knowledge "chunk," keeping the cognitive load for each lecture manageable. Kinesthetic learners in particular, can sometimes struggle with staying focused on the same thing for long periods of time (Major, 2016). Thus, long lectures with static content can be challenging for kinesthetic learners. To remedy this difficulty, keep lectures short, or break up long lectures into multiple parts. Also consider using a variety of media to introduce some novelty and thus hold students' interest better.

Send students on virtual field trips.

Because kinesthetic learners enjoy exploration and immersion, virtual field trips are a great option for helping them engage new topics (Cordiner, n.d.; Kato, 2017). You can either send students to websites that have already put together field trips, or assign students to create their own field trip by requiring them to virtually visit several websites or physically visit local sites and take videos or pictures. Incidentally, having students report back on the results of their research and comment on others' is a creative use of discussion forums.

Course Facilitation Principles for Kinesthetic Learners

Meeting the needs of kinesthetic learners isn't limited to course development, though. If you're facilitating a course over which you don't have much editing power, you can still find ways to reach out to kinesthetic learners in your class. Consider the following tips.

Challenge students to incorporate simple tactile exercises into their studying.

If visual learners retain information best when they see it and auditory learners when they hear it, kinesthetic learners retain information best when they are able to associate a movement with it (Major, 2016). Thus, encourage students to take notes in a way that makes sense to them. Remind kinesthetic learners to draw sketches or diagrams of what they're learning, or to stand up and physically act out a concept if they can.

You can also suggest writing notes on Post-Its and sticking them on the wall in a pattern that helps organize concepts (Cordiner, n.d.). Or you can create templates or handouts that students can print out and fill in to keep their hands engaged. All of these techniques will help kinesthetic learners focus on and retain what they learn.

Remind students to take a break and walk around.

Kinesthetic learners have trouble sitting still and keeping focused on a static resource or topic (Major, 2016). If your course has long projects or reading assignments, find good spots to divide them up, and at those spots, remind students to stand up, take a walk, or do whatever they need to come back fresh to the material.

Help students visualize complex processes.

Steps and procedures can be difficult for kinesthetic learners to follow unless they can visualize themselves following the steps (Major, 2016). So if an assignment or instructional material contains a complex procedure, encourage students to visualize themselves doing the procedure to help them associate physical motions with the information. Or consider providing a screencast that allows them to watch and follow along on their screens if they want to (Cordiner, n.d.).

Encourage exploration and experimentation.

Because kinesthetic learners learn best by doing rather than by reading or listening, you can benefit them by allowing them to experiment and figure out a new assignment or assessment themselves rather than dictating to them how to do it. According to Cordiner (n.d.), "The more you teach from a place of 'this is HOW you do this,' instead of 'let me tell you about this,' the more engaged your kinesthetic learners are going to be."

For example, instead of providing the answer to a problem or question, give students the appropriate learning resources (either inside or outside the online classroom) and ask them to find the answer themselves (Pappas, 2016). Let them explore resources on their own terms and assemble the information in a way that makes sense to them so they can exercise critical thinking and be hands on in their learning.

Conclusion

Although online learning often brings to mind the image of students sitting still and silent in front of a computer, there are many ways course designers and instructors can make their courses more appealing to kinesthetic learners. Whether in the design or facilitation phases of a course, instructors can appeal to kinesthetic learning styles by creating or choosing materials that are immersive, interactive, tactile, and connected to real life. Even if you don't have the most sophisticated technological resources, you can still make the online education experience engaging for your kinesthetic learners.

Technology has become an integral part of teaching and instructing students. It allows them to develop critical thinking skills, learn new concepts and creatively express their own ideas. Technology also enables educators to accommodate the three main learning styles: visual, auditory and kinesthetic.

Even teachers who prefer a traditional lecture teaching style can use a few technological tools to supplement the material. If the teacher has access to a computer, laptop, project, or iPad, then these tools can meet the specific needs of each type of learner.
Visual Learning
Visual learning students learn best by reading directions or seeing a demonstration. They often need to see concepts and facts through pictures, diagrams and charts.

Teachers can use technology to produce visual aids to help these students understand the lesson. For example, teachers can create a PowerPoint that outlines key points and includes pictures or diagrams. This simple practice helps visual learners focus and understand the material better.

Students also respond well to helpful YouTube videos where specialists elaborate on difficult subjects such as chemistry or physics. A popular internet duo, John and Hank Green, created a YouTube channel called " vlogbrothers." There, they post educational videos about a variety of subjects. The videos often include many graphics and pictures. Teachers can use these short but informative videos to help visual learners conclude a class unit.
Auditory Learning
Auditory learning students comprehend and remember information through listening and speaking. Presentations and public speaking assignments accommodate this learning style. However, technology can also enhance these students' educational experience.

With Skype, students can connect with classrooms around the world. They can listen to guest speakers who specialize in certain topics. Some foreign language teachers enjoy connecting their class with native speakers. This can help the students further develop conversational skills.

For younger age groups, teachers can reach visual learners through an iPad app called Me Books. The app allows students to choose from a variety of children's books featuring characters such as Peppa Pig and Peter Rabbit. Students can read along as a voice recording reads aloud. They can also choose to record their own voices as they practice reading. Some of the books cost money, but auditory learners can greatly benefit from hearing their own voice sound out new words.
Kinesthetic Learning
Kinesthetic learners need to perform interactive activities to understand new concepts. They thrive while working on hands-on projects. Technology offers many ways of accommodating this learning style.

Many websites offer free, interactive programs to help students learn content in almost any subject. For instance, the University of Colorado Boulder operates a website called PHeT Interactive Simulations that offers educational games to help with math and science. If kinesthetic learners need extra help with chemistry, they can play games where they build an atom themselves or perform an online experiment to learn about solubility.

Educational apps on tablets and smartphones can also help kinesthetic learners. Some apps go beyond the main school subjects by introducing young students to computer science. Hakitzu: Code of the Warrior is a free app that teaches children how to code as they play a game. Kinesthetic learners learn best when information is presented as an interactive game.

As teachers integrate technology into their lesson plans, they can use various technological tools to reach all types of students. Some online activities or tablet apps often use a combination of visuals, sounds, and interactive objectives which engage visual, auditory, and kinesthetic learners. Whenever students use technology in the classroom, there's a possibility of at-risk behavior and cyberbullying. Monitoring software like LearnSafe helps administrators recognize at-risk behavior so they can help their most vulnerable students.

Auditory

If you are an auditory learner, you learn by hearing and listening. You understand and remember things you have heard. You store information by the way it sounds, and you have an easier time understanding spoken instructions than written ones. You often learn by reading out loud because you have to hear it or speak it in order to know it.

As an auditory learner, you probably hum or talk to yourself or others if you become bored. People may think you are not paying attention, even though you may be hearing and understanding everything being said.

Here are some things that auditory learners like you can do to learn better.

Sit where you can hear.

Have your hearing checked on a regular basis.

Use flashcards to learn new words; read them out loud.

Read stories, assignments, or directions out loud.

Record yourself spelling words and then listen to the recording.

Have test questions read to you out loud.

Study new material by reading it out loud.

Remember that you need to hear things, not just see things, in order to learn well.

Visual

If you are a visual learner, you learn by reading or seeing pictures. You understand and remember things by sight. You can picture what you are learning in your head, and you learn best by using methods that are primarily visual. You like to see what you are learning.

As a visual learner, you are usually neat and clean. You often close your eyes to visualize or remember something, and you will find something to watch if you become bored. You may have difficulty with spoken directions and may be easily distracted by sounds. You are attracted to color and to spoken language (like stories) that is rich in imagery.

Here are some things that visual learners like you can do to learn better:

Sit near the front of the classroom. (It won't mean you're the teacher's pet!)

Have your eyesight checked on a regular basis.

Use flashcards to learn new words.

Try to visualize things that you hear or things that are read to you.

Write down key words, ideas, or instructions.

Draw pictures to help explain new concepts and then explain the pictures.

Color code things.

Avoid distractions during study times.

Remember that you need to see things, not just hear things, to learn well.

Tactile

If you are a tactile learner, you learn by touching and doing. You understand and remember things through physical movement. You are a "hands-on" learner who prefers to touch, move, build, or draw what you learn, and you tend to learn better when some type of physical activity is involved. You need to be active and take frequent breaks, you often speak with your hands and with gestures, and you may have difficulty sitting still.

As a tactile learner, you like to take things apart and put things together, and you tend to find reasons to tinker or move around when you become bored. You may be very well coordinated and have good athletic ability. You can easily remember things that were done but may have difficulty remembering what you saw or heard in the process. You often communicate by touching, and you appreciate physically expressed forms of encouragement, such as a pat on the back.

Here are some things that tactile learners like you can do to learn better:

Participate in activities that involve touching, building, moving, or drawing.

Do lots of hands-on activities like completing art projects, taking walks, or acting out stories.

It's OK to chew gum, walk around, or rock in a chair while reading or studying.

Use flashcards and arrange them in groups to show relationships between ideas.

Trace words with your finger to learn spelling (finger spelling).

Take frequent breaks during reading or studying periods (frequent, but not long).

It's OK to tap a pencil, shake your foot, or hold on to something while learning.

Use a computer to reinforce learning through the sense of touch.

Remember that you learn best by doing, not just by reading, seeing, or hearing.

The idea of different learning styles started to gain popularity in the mid-70's and since then, the notion has influenced the way education and learning is perceived. Just like there are different teaching methods, many individuals also believe there are different ways to learn and understand new information.

Despite criticism, many people started looking into the different ways of learning and assessing their own student's preferred learning method. Many parents of struggling students who are looking into homeschooling as an educational alternative for the first time, usually start out by learning more about the types of learning styles and how children learn best.

Jump to the sections below to understand a bit more about the different types of learners:

How do Children Learn?

Every child has different learning preferences. Among the different ways of learning, some prefer to learn by hearing, some by seeing, others by doing, some by reading and others by asking questions. One thing all students have in common is that they all learn best when they can incorporate items and topics that interest them into their studies, for example, building blocks, music, fashion, airplanes, etc.

While there are different learning styles, your student will likely favor several styles and not just one. However, you may be able to see patterns in their learning preferences. For example, a student who is a visual learner may also be a very social and verbal learner who prefers to learn especially difficult topics using their primary skills.

Understanding how your student learns is perhaps one of the most important parts of homeschooling your child. Learning styles allow your child to get the most from their homeschool experience, and helps parents choose the best curriculum for their children.

What Are the Different Learning Styles?

There are currently seven learning styles:

It is not a coincidence that as the current generation of children becomes more and more visual in their learning preference, difficulty with reading comprehension is sharply on the rise. It sounds contradictory, doesn't it? You would suppose that highly visual learners would be the best at comprehending what they read, but this is not the case, because learning to read is traditionally a very non-visual task. We teach children to read in very left-brained ways and they focus intensely on learning those little symbols and what they represent. In the process of learning to sound out words or just plain remember words they have learned, the meaning behind the symbols is lost. Oftentimes, children can quickly read a book and then look blankly at you if you ask them to tell you what they read.

Our children spend so much time with technology that, by its very design, works to rewire their brains in ways that are not compatible with traditional methods of teaching reading. This technology flashes colorful images across the screen in a constant stream while children hear the words spoken. The images they are absorbing are images that their own minds and imaginations did not create. And I don't think the technology that is reshaping our children's brains towards the visual side is going away any time soon. The ideal of course would be to get kids outside more, playing with objects rather than technology. Barring that, however, our method for guiding children towards comprehending what they have read needs to change drastically. As our children's brains are being reshaped, our teaching approaches must follow with alacrity or we will see an increase in the numbers of children who struggling with reading.

Back when I was administering the John's Reading Inventory to scads of children, I remember feeling squirmy during the comprehension segment of the test. When children were asked to name the characters in the story and they couldn't do it, I had to mark them down for those missed names. I don't remember names I read either; to me that doesn't mean I did not comprehend what I read. It really means that I don't remember names I read as I am visualizing and consolidating the action in the story into images in my mind.

The natural way for me to think about the word "comprehension" is by thinking about "visualizing." Visual learners are not detail people. They think in pictures, not in words. So while my left-brained counterparts recall facts, names, and dates with amazing fluency, I remember the feeling of the story, what each character was like personally, and how the story line went.

For those children who struggle with knowing and being able to retell what they have read, let's think in terms of helping them visualize the meaning that the symbols on the page were supposed to convey. (SnapWords® get this point across effortlessly as each one is embedded in a visual that conveys the meaning behind the word.) Children can learn to form images to accompany the words they read if we teach them to do that. We don't need complicated procedures, expensive technology, fancy organizational charts or anything other than a very clear focus, humor and relaxed time with the children. This is a perfect activity for summertime, time spent driving in the car, dinner table time, etc. The key is to make this fun, to work on it incrementally, and to celebrate your children's visual giftedness.

Tell your child you are going to play a game. Say one sentence. The child will repeat what you said, then embellish and add to what you said. For instance, you might say, "I see a green dragon flying in the sky." Your child would repeat, "I see a green dragon flying in the sky. He has scales on his back and he is breathing fire out of his mouth!"

Then, let your child have a turn to make up a sentence. You repeat what they said and embellish it. Inject humor and the unexpected into the game to attract their attention and engage them in the process. Humor is a wonderful teacher!

Many visual learners like to draw. Provide your child with paper and coloring or drawing materials. Play a similar game to the first one, only this time have your child draw pictures of what you say. They can draw exactly what you said or take it further and embellish. For example, if you say, "I see a green dragon flying in the sky blowing bubbles with his pink bubblegum," they might draw that and then add a red umbrella the dragon is clutching.

I am not saying that after doing these three exercises one time your child will suddenly be transformed into a reader who practices visualization. However, if you do this sort of thing frequently, it will result in improving your children's reading abilities.

Using the written word as a starting point for visualization will need to be done from simple to more complex as your child becomes comfortable with the process.

To begin, you can write on a 3x5 card or a sheet of drawing paper, "I see a green dragon flying through the sky." The child will read the sentence for themselves and then draw an illustration for it.

Go from a sentence to a short paragraph for them to read and illustrate.

Next, use their own books for the activities. Tell them to read a sentence or two and then close their eyes and see, in their imagination, the form of pictures they just read. For example if they read, "Once there was a man and his wife that lived in a little house by a big lake," have them stop and picture the scene in their mind. If you start small (not waiting until the whole story is finished to ask for a visualization) your child will gain the practice of seeing what they're reading in their head, not in words, but in their translation into pictures.

Finally, have them read a paragraph or a short page to you and then either tell you in their own words what they read, or draw a picture of it, a page at a time to begin with. Let them know that the hardest part is starting to see the story in their mind when they're not really sure what is coming. As soon as they can imagine that first image, what they read next can be added to the mental image just like you would add characters to a play.

One of the smartest tools you can use with a child who has been failing at something is to show confidence in them and share your belief in their giftedness. Those who can visualize are in so much demand in so many industries. What you can imagine in your mind and heart, you can also create. Find out if the idea of writing and illustrating a whole story would appeal to your child. This could be the ultimate reward for work well done: to showcase their progress in getting a book they wrote and illustrated, bound for them.
