How will your teaching and learning style affect your teaching and your students' abilities to be successful?

My Digital Media class for the first 2 months has been very eye opening.  Before school started I was thinking of something completely different than how the classes turned out.  I am understanding more and more each day that an active classroom is what my students need.  I am very visual in my teaching as this is new software for the students. I begin every class with a demonstration and move into guided practice with a partner.  I ask the students to be intuitive and come up with their own answers.  This is how I learn and this is how I have been teaching for the past 2 months.
