Warm-up Think about how you learn, describe how you think you learn best in 2 complete sentences.

Learning Style Inventory Why would you need to know how you learn? Everyone has a mix of learning styles. Some people may find that they have a leading style of learning, with far less use of the other styles. Others may find that they use different styles in different situations. There is no right mix. Nor are your styles permanent. Your preferred styles guide the way you learn. They also change the way you internally represent experiences, the way you recall information, and even the words you choose! What are the different learning styles? Research shows that learning style uses different parts of the brain. By involving more of the brain during learning, we remember more of what we learn. Researchers using brain-imaging technologies have been able to find out the key areas of the brain responsible for each learning style. There are 7 different styles of learning!
