Learning Styles 2.0

What an eye-opening article - to truly begin to see students' learning styles from yet another point of view. As today's students are born into this technologically advanced world, it is second nature for them - it's a natural way for some of them to learn. I see it with my own daughter who at 3 and 1/2 years old can immediately understand how to manipulate the keyboard on our laptop the moment after I explain it to her. There are many students who's learning styles are just going to be set up to learn better in a multi-tasking environment that is digitally advanced and expressive (through blogging, wikis, podcasts, twitter, etc.) No matter what, though, isn't it all about trying to reach every student, no matter how they need to learn? Technology, especially emerging technology is something all students get fired up about - and can be differentiated for the variety of students we have. So to me, it seems like a fairly obvious way to go when thinking about new ways to motivate our students about their education.
