Self Assessment
 Learning Style Reflection

● Place a screen shot of your learning style

● What did you learn about yourself, what is
you learning style and does the assessment
hold true?
● How does that relate to our current situation
with online learning?
I learned that I am a multimodal learner, meaning I learn well from many things, but mostly visual and
kinesthetic. This mean online schooling might be a little harder for me or people who learn kinesthetically
because we sit around staring at a screen all day.
