Teaching Styles

I know that we talked in class the other day about all the different learning styles - I thought it was interesting to see all the different teaching styles - especially as me, Jess, and Amanda were teaching yesterday. It's interesting because I think each person taught the same way they learn. I can see Amanda learning in a very direct way - lectures, notes, slides, etc. While Jess on the other hand, I see him as a very hands on, visual, experience type learner. I am somewhere in the middle I think - very much a inquiry based learner - questions are key. As I was thinking about how it went and the differences it hit me that we probably tend to teach the same way we learn since that is what makes sense to us. I think one of the challenges of teaching then, is to learn how to teach in a way that doesn't make any sense to you, but helps someone else.
