The term “learning styles” speaks to the understanding that every student learns differently. Technically, an individual’s learning style refers to the preferential way in which the student absorbs, processes, comprehends and retains information. For example, when learning how to build a clock, some students understand the process by following verbal instructions, while others have to physically manipulate the clock themselves. This notion of individualized learning styles has gained widespread recognition in education theory and classroom management strategy. Individual learning styles depend on cognitive, emotional and environmental factors, as well as one’s prior experience. In other words: everyone’s different. It is important for educators to understand the differences in their students’ learning styles, so that they can implement best practice strategies into their daily activities, curriculum and assessments.</div>

UNDERSTANDING VARK</h2>

One of the most accepted understandings of learning styles is that student learning styles fall into three “categories:” Visual Learners, Auditory Learners and Kinesthetic Learners. These learning styles are found within educational theorist <a href="http://www.vark-learn.com/english/page.asp?p=biography" style="color: #990000; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank" title="Neil Fleming's VARK Model of Student Learning">Neil Fleming</a>’s VARK model of Student Learning. VARK is an acronym that refers to the four types of learning styles: Visual, Auditory, Reading/Writing Preference, and Kinesthetic. (The VARK model is also referred to as the VAK model, eliminating Reading/Writing as a category of preferential learning.) The VARK model acknowledges that students have different approaches to how they process information, referred to as “preferred learning modes.” The main ideas of VARK are outlined in Learning Styles Again: VARKing up the right tree! (Fleming & Baume, 2006)</div>

Identifying your students as visual, auditory, reading/writing or kinesthetic learners, and aligning your overall curriculum with these learning styles, will prove to be beneficial for your entire classroom. Allowing students to access information in terms they are comfortable with will increase their academic confidence.</div>

Forest is an app helping you stay away from your smartphone and stay focused on your work. Whenever you want to concentrate, you can plant a seed in Forest. In the next 30 minutes, this small seed will gradually grow into a big tree. However, if you cannot resist the temptation and leave this app to check Facebook or play a game, your little cute tree will wither away. Every day you will own a forest filled with trees (or some withered twigs) and every tree represents 30-MINUTES that you have been working hard.</div>

  Description</h4>
   You have never experienced a task manager like this!<br />
<br />
   Simple. Attractive. Useful. 30/30 helps you get stuff done!<br />
<br />
      You set up a list of tasks, and a length of time for each of them. When you start the timer, it will tell you when to move on to the next task.<br />
<br />
                          That’s it!<br />
<br />
   The task list is controlled entirely with gestures; a simple and natural way to use the app.<br />
<br />
  The display is minimal but attractive and it still shows you everything you need to know:<br />
    - What am I supposed to be doing right now?<br />
    - How much time do I have left to do it?<br />
    Multiple lists, syncing over iCloud, and smart time functions are just some of the features!<br />
