The Way You Learn

Introduction

This webquest will help you define a little more about who you are and how you learn.

Task

Your task is to learn more about yourself in order to help define how you learn.  By doing this, you will discover ways to lower the stresses of learning by using methods that you know will work for you.  Not everyone learns the same way. 

Process

1. Read about the Theory of Multiple Intelligences then choose which one you feel fits you best.

4. Now take the Learning Style Test.  Before beginning, guess which style you believe you will test in.  After the test, record your tested  style.  Was your guess correct?  Do the results match that of your Multiple Intelligence Self-Assesment?

Conclusion

Knowing how you learn changes everything.  What was once difficult and confusing may now interesting and enjoyable. What was once frustrating and intimidating may now be challenging and a source of confidence.  

Few things in this world count as a universal truth; however, this is one of them: the spring of knowledge never runs dry and the only means of blocking it is to block it yourself.  If the only reason you choose to do that is because learning is difficult and stressful, no one can alter that but you.  This webquest was to give you the tools to help make sure that never happens.
