Something I wasn't able to post on Meryl's Blog

Meryl (Logging onto managing E-Learning, 29 March 2010), had an idea about creating a wiki full of quizzes and the like to gain an idea of student's learning styles before they actually come into the classroom or just very early in the year. I think that the idea she's started here is something to work on once we've graduated. I have heard of quite a few teachers who, once they are told who is going to be in there class send out letters introducing themselves to the children and ask for an introduction in return. In addition to your learning styles quiz you could add in personal questions, interests, hobbies, that kind of thing. So that on that first day of school you can have a reference to work from for conversation starters and you can have the best strategies possible for settling your class in. Gee that was a lot!
