Adult Learners:
If I had to assume the role of an adult learner, I would say that I am practical/focused because I am continuously questioning how I can apply things I've learned to my future career(s) as well as every day life. My learning style is a mix between visual and kinesthetic. Prior learning experiences that might influence the way I learn is that in regards to math I have a tendency to drown it out, or I may be able to work out the problem without fully comprehending what I'm doing and why.
Digital Natives:
It was an extremely accurate depiction of students today. The generations corresponding correctly with the items they are familiar with as well as their learning styles. I am definitely social, visual, kinestethic, connected, digital, and immediate. From my experience in classes, it is always nice for instructors to provide a visual aid to go along with their lecture.

Teaching Strategies for Adult Learners
I added a link in your Tutor Training Manual to an article I received today entitled: Teaching Strategies for Adult Learners. Several of you have indicated that you made it to Module 4 and were wondering where the mini-modules were. Well, I said the Manual was a work in progress. I am still finishing up the mini-modules and hope to have them ready by tomorrow or Friday at the latest. Feel free to look at the other modules. You don't have to completed them in a linear fashion if you don't want to.
