Hands-On!

I believe that I am an Accomodator. I love hands on learning...hate routines...they drive me a little mad. With my students I do love to be creative and at times I have actually stemmed away from routine and took risks to try to get the students to understand various topics. I love the question "why". My next question usually is "why not" or "what if". I feel that these simple questions are the questions that spark students thoughts and experiences as well as prior knowledge on the subject.  Practical learning and hands-on learning allows me to soar.

I feel that the piece that would give me the most problem would be theorizing. This includes no connections to experiences or memories of internal models. Those puzzling questions may remain just that for me. I use my hands on experiences for my concrete thoughts, so therorizing is difficult for me because that is not a concrete, factual thought or "answer".
