Students learn in a variety of ways.
Some students are visual learners and learn best through what they see and read. Auditory learners acquire information best by hearing the material that is taught to them. Most people, however, retain best what they are taught if they are taught with a mixture of the different learning styles. The Net helps teachers present information in a variety of ways. For the visual learner, information is presented through maps, diagrams, pictures, and articles and communication is done using e-mail, chat, electronic whiteboards, and electronic conferencing.
