As teachers, we are always faced by a constant yet insightful challenge when we deliver our lesson: that is how to efficiently and efficiently cater a spectrum of leaners' learning styles. As it is commonly known, no one is the same as the other. A learner may have different learning style or preference compared to his or her peers, and a class is at least full of learners with different needs to be fulfilled. Therefore, teachers are those among the responsible ones to guide them toward a more effective teaching - learning process.
Sometimes, there is a common fear: is it possible to juggle all balls at the same time? Can I teach everyone with different needs, but with the same level of success?
Technology has easened up, if not eliminated, our fear as teachers to face this kind of situation. In my country, Indonesia, there was a tendency for teacher to dominate a class and cater one or two learning styles only. Nevertheless, in the present days with the new qualification curriculum (KKNI), there is now a movement toward embracing other learning styles or preferences, since people already recognize that students not only learn through certain channels, but they can also utilize other means of learning as well, in order to maximize their learning experience and technology.
