There was only a 10% difference between auditory and visual. This didn’t surprise me. While I’m mostly auditory, I do rely on visual as well. I like to use charts or graphs if possible to help remember things. Also, in undergrad, I often found that by closing my eyes and picturing my notes in my head I could visualize certain information/words and it would help me during tests, etc.
What’s wonderful about technology is that you can include it into lessons, incorporating all of the learning styles. For auditory learners, you can use audio devices to recite certain information for students. Creating graphs, charts, or a powerpoint presentation may be great for visual learners, and an interactive lesson where the student is personally using the SmartBoard may be best for tactile learners.

I had a similar outcome of the learning styles quiz, but in the opposite direction - I was a visual learner but only 10% less was auditory. It is interesting how all the senses combine to create a unique learning style, and how teachers can utilize that information to reach all learners.
