explain why they are wearing what they are wearing and why
hum or talk to themselves or others when bored acquire knowledge by reading aloud remember by verbalizing lessons to themselves (if
they don't they have difficulty reading maps or diagrams or handling conceptual assignments like mathematics).
Auditory

or seen find reasons to tinker or move when bored rely on what they can directly experience or perform activities such as cooking, construction, engineering and art help them
perceive and learn enjoy field trips and tasks that involve manipulating materials sit near the door or someplace else where they can easily get up and
move around are uncomfortable in classrooms where they lack opportunities for
hands-on experience communicate by touching and appreciate physically expressed
encouragement, such as a pat on the back

students than the traditional style of teaching with lecture and textbooks. Games are available free of cost that keep students
interest. Technology is not limited to education alone, but may be able
to help in all curriculum areas. There are applications to help students learn spelling
words, math problems and even type. Some applications can be personalized to cover the
current classroom curriculim. Students can hear, see and manipulate things to learn more
effectively
