Each year teachers are faced with the daunting task of teaching
to a class of 20-30 students each, each with their own
learning styles, interests and abilities. An excellent

Computer aided instruction, notconcerns only the various
learning styles of students in class, but can help
The students become more flexible in their learning. The majority of learners

Students are familiar with a subject the easier it is for new
Learning to come. thus giving the students a
Variety of materials to better prepare pre-exposure

Websites related to upcoming themes, books, magazines, maps,
Posters, computer software, and manipulatives can be provided
for research students in their spare time. Providing a variety of
Materials takes into account the learning preferences
all students.

The novelty could be used to win and keep students' attention.
People usually consider onlyThe things that are useful or
The things that are personally meaningful. Therefore refer

can catch and hold their attention. "Shock" with an unusual
Noise, experimental, video, title, etc. You can also submit

long queues at the table, the design of the perfect playground
Planning a trip within the budget, public transport
etc can be taken into account. Learning must be meaningful,
relevant and interesting for students not only their profits

spatial, musical, interpersonal, intrapersonal and naturalist)
possible. It is possible, using a variety of activities to do
in your plans, such as songs, games, experiments, field visits,
real experiences, interviews, speakers, physical
Movement / exercise, small group activities, individual activities,
partner activities, cooking / food / snacks, hands-on experience,
etc. The provision of a range of activitiesallows students
all the skills to succeed.

Not only do students have different learning styles, but different
bio-cognitive cycles. Some students learn best in
Morning, some in the afternoon. Therefore, with a flexible
Classroom schedule can provide for these differences. Even
By varying the times and types of tests, all students

If it is true, it is advantageous to giveStudent choice
Activities and assessments. This gives students
The opportunity to showcase their individual talents and can aide

Activities for students during structured and select
unstructured time to take some projects such as posters,
PowerPoint presentations,Reports, interviews, videos, brochures,
etc. to choose from when assessing their knowledge. Enter
chosen by students gives them a sense of empowerment over
their learning and helping others in deciding what learning styles
and assessments to work best for them, making them
greater responsibility for their own learning.

It would be a pretty boring world if all students were the same.
Diversity makes the lessons more interesting andexciting.
Teachers should honor and respect the uniqueness of each
Students, diversity and choice in their classrooms. Not
this is the only variety of needs of students, but
will also help students become independent and to be.
