DEJ #2: Web 2.0 and Emerging Learning Technologies and Learning Styles

"Most of the students have an iPod. The iPod can support the three learning styles. It allows to the kinesthetic learners to touch the screen. Also, the iPod allows to the auditory students to listen to the audio files. In addition it will help the visual to see and download pictures"

- The iPod is a fantastic tool for young children. There are a wide variety of apps that are geared towards helping Elementary students learn things such as math applications and reading. There are even certain apps for younger children to help them learn shapes, colors, and words. The good thing about it, is most of the apps are like games so that they can be fun! They are extremely interactive and since they incorporate all three learning styles, they can hold a toddlers attention.

"Video games provide the learner with real environment that gives the students chance to stimulate what they want to learn."

-Video games are an excellent learning tool for older children. Once students develop into their learning style, video games can help get information across in a fun way. Also, because video games are so interactive, it can help students remember things more effectively. Another thing I like about video games as a learning tool, is that children choose to play video games in their free time so they're amped to use them in a learning environment! So, it's almost like you trick them into learning!
