Double Journal Entry #3

"The picture learner likes to convert language to pictures."- Mariaemma Willis & Victoria Hodson 1999).

This quote sums up my learning style completely. I always saw myself as a "hands-on" learner (Or kinesthetic, according to the article) but I realize before I can even start a task I have to visualize myself and all the possible outcomes in my mind. I do prefer projects, experiments, and other action plans assignments, opposed to lecture and reading but my "over-analyzer" personality leads into my learning style because I have to see what I'm doing mentally before I can tackle it academically. I believe that today's education technology is going hand and hand with my learning style because now everything we learn as students is coming to us by way of multimedia that makes learning if not more fun at least more aesthetically pleasing.


Thank you for your time,

A.J. Washington
