Salad Time!
I was pumped to break into my salad for one reason…
'Joe Topped Salad
I loved the inclusion of the leftover sloppy joe meat in my salad. The vinegary flavor of the ‘joes really kicked the flavor up a notch.
Along with the sloppy joe meat, my salad included butter lettuce, leftover roasted broccoli, carrots and Italian dressing.
Learning Styles
As I briefly mentioned this morning, at work today I’ve been training a new writer and working to get her assimilated into our office environment.
As I was preparing notes on everything I wanted to be sure to teach our new employee, I started thinking about different learning styles and the best way to train her and help her learn the ins and outs of her new job.
For me, I learn best by doing. I’m definitely a kinesthetic learner.
Just Let Me Do It!
In college, I would study for tests by making myself multi-page study guides full of what I thought was the important information. In the end, I didn’t review the study guides all that much. It was the process of creating the study guides that helped me most.
In my current job, I’ve learned the most by diving into projects and writing website content. Doing research and regurgitating that information into understandable content really helps me digest the information and learn it for myself.
I know others learn best in different ways. There are visual learners who learn best by seeing and auditory learners who learn best by hearing, among many learning styles.
So, what about you?
What is your learning style? Visual? Auditory? Kinesthetic/Do-er? Something totally different?

I’m more of a monkey see monkey do type of learner haha ;D
Snap on the learning front. Writing info def helps with getting the info to stick. Rather than revising my notes, jst creating them were what I needed!
I’m a mixture of a kinesthetic learner and a show me once and let me demonstrate it back to you type. I totally relate with the ideas of making out the study guides. I rewrite the notes multiple times and that is what helps info stick for me! 🙂
I am definitely a visual learner. I am a bad listener. I also write much better than I talk. I sound like an idiot when I talk!
definately seeing and then doing for me!!!! unless it’s something like math which doesn’t come as easy for me. That takes more practice/doing
I do the same thing with the study guides. I write them in fun markers on colored papers usually to help me even more remember what the guide says without looking so I think I’m a combo of kinesthetic and visual.
I do the same thing with my study guides. I create huge, lengthy, detailed study guides and then study parts of them. It definitely helps me organize my thoughts and just making the study guide is the best way for me to study.
