Technology and Multiple Intelligences |
| Multiple Intelligences: Over the past few years, we have all at least heard of the theory of multiple intelligences. But what is it, and more importantly, what does it mean to me and my students? The biggest issue with multiple intelligences is how we often confuse it with learning style. A learning style is how students learn best. An intelligence is developable and is useful in all kinds of thinking. A student might prefer a specific learning style, but each intelligence should be developed in students. (Resource) |
