GROUP 2 Experiment Question:

What tools will different learners use to answer the question "how many times do the black eyed peas say imma be in their song?'

Procedurs: 1. Pick 8 random students 2-kinsthetic 2-visual 2-hearing 2-imaginative 2. Put each group with 1 I-Pad, Tablet, PC, Netbook 3. Ask the question: How many times do the black eye peas say Imma Be in their song 4. Have them use a tool of their choice to research, then type up what they said 5. Observe for the most used tools

If a kinisthetic, hearing, visual, and imaginative learners are faced with the same question which tool is used most often?

Prediction: We predict that Google and Microsoft word will be used the most.

==﻿ In our study, we found that visual, kinesthetic, and oral learners have some similarities. Visual learners like tools that move in front of them, and that they can see and learn from. Oral learners like Skype, the teacher talking, and audio books to listen to. Kinesthetic learners like hands on activitiessuch as clickers, Ipads, and field trips.==
