They found that students generally did not study in accordance with their learning style, and that even when they did, their test scores did not improve. In other words, they didn’t learn any better when attempting to learn in their supposed learning style.

Concept maps are a great tool for many learners...and this post provides ten ways you might consider using them in your classroom. The concept maps are divided into three categories: Learn by Seeing, Learn by Doing, and Learn by Hearing. In many cases there is a concept map that shows off the style. There are many free tools to help create concept maps. A quick look on concept maps in this Scoop.it will provide quite a few results.
