Activity 1

I have always found the discussion of right brain vs left brain learning an interesting topic.  I feel a typical classroom is made up of strong right brain learners, left brainers, and a variety of students in between.
With such a varied group in one setting, it is difficult to create an atmosphere where all students can learn at their highest potential. 

I was under the assumption that I have always been a dominant right brained learner  Math and sciences were my better subjects.  Noise never hindered my ability to learn.  Music in the background actually helped me focus.  I was never big on organization, lists,  or sequential order.  After taking the test I was 51% right to 49% left.  This result was nothing I expected. 

Maybe over time I have adjusted.  The old ball and chain (look for the blog profile with the really good looking husband) seems to be more orderly, uses lists, and tends to focus on one task at a time.  Being exposed to this may have had a direct effect on the result.  We tend to look at things completely different but both adapt in our ways of doing things.

As a teacher I feel it is best to expose students to all types of learning.  This will allow both sides of the brain to develop and improve in the areas that are weak.  Although I may never create my own list or work in complete order, I can at least follow one created for me.
