Listen vs. Read

I would vote for reading. I am a tactile learner so I really have to put my hands on it and view it and write it to remember it. I can listen to someone talk all day long and if I don’t physically write it down on paper it just goes in one ear and out the other. I even take notes in church or I won’t be able to tell you what the preacher said. I have a sister that is the exact opposite; she has a hard time reading things and does much better listening. This being the case, and my knowledge that there are such differences in learning styles, I know when I start teaching that I will have to use mixed media. That way I’ll be covering all the learning styles and hopefully my students will have a great learning experience.
