Kolb’s Learning Styles

I had heard of learning styles but had never taken the time to understand in detail what the fuss was about.  Having had a good read of the suggested website (a task which I struggled with as I am an “accommodating” type!)

TEL stories

Time has been short for Week 1 activities due to the winter vomiting virus making a late and unwelcome visit to my family!  So I’ve only had time to have a quick shufti at the videos giving examples of technology enhancing learning and the one that really stood out for me was Eric Mazur.  As […]
