Getting to know you

Connecting Stories
• Goal: Connect mini-stories in
an interesting way
• Example: Yesterday I shared a
tuk-tuk with a Russian tourist
• I had Russian vodka for
breakfast, but thought it was
water
• I took a water taxi along the
river
• Have someone keep notes on
the stories to repeat later

“What we found was that most students WANT to be standing, to be
moving. They don’t want to sit still — it’s against their nature. We are the
ones who teach them to be sedentary. Perhaps even more important was
that the heavier children — those in the 85th percentile for weight based
on age and gender — burned 32 percent more calories standing than
heavier children that used a traditional seated desk.”

Design the perfect
classroom
Take what you have learned today and design the perfect learning
environment.
Consider these factors:
• Room design and sensory input
• Understanding your different learning types
• Opportunities for customized learning
• The role of game based learning
• Incentives
First: Discuss and report back how you want to tackle the problem

Break into groups by learning styles
• Active
• Reﬂective
• Sensing
• Intuitive
• Visual
• Verbal
• Sequential
• Global

SEQUENTIAL AND GLOBAL LEARNERS
!
Sequential learners tend to gain understanding in linear
steps, with each step following logically from the previous one
!
Global learners tend to learn in large jumps, absorbing
material almost randomly without seeing connections, and
then suddenly "getting it."

!
Active learners tend to retain and understand information
best by doing something active with it--discussing or applying
it or explaining it to others.
!
Reflective learners prefer to think about it quietly first.
"Let's try it out and see how it works" is an active learner's
phrase; "Let's think it through first" is the reflective learner's
response.
!
Active learners tend to like group work more than reflective
learners, who prefer working alone.
!
ACTIVE AND REFLECTIVE LEARNERS

!
Sensing learners tend to like learning facts, intuitive
learners often prefer discovering possibilities and
relationships.
!
Sensors often like solving problems by well-established
methods and dislike complications and surprises; intuitors
like innovation and dislike repetition
!
Sensors tend to be more practical and careful than intuitors;
intuitors tend to work faster and to be more innovative than
sensors.
SENSING AND INTUITIVE LEARNERS
