There is intelligence in all but I found a flaw in the brilliant mind of the apple mac. It won't let me cut and paste the rainbow colour results of my multiple intelligence wheel to my blog. Perhaps because I scored big points in the kinaesthetic (body smart) and naturalistic (nature smart) components and the Mac knows those results mean I'm a nature loving ants in my pants can't (hates) to sit still which means less time using the Apple indoors.....and it's annoyed by that. Or more realistically I'm just computer stupid, still.
I flick, sorry clicked through a few blogs and reviewed their wheels and found that some shared my learning ability of visual and doing activities over visual etc.
I feel this multiple intelligence test gives results that can be used to create appropriate learning designs for the classroom. We each have the ability to absorb information, for me, that is a fact. The varying components are in the individual alone and which mode of learning, the rate at which we retain and recall information. In our schools we will encounter learners of various abilities. I would use this information, as I would other theory's, to first establish the type of learners then devise teachings to compliment them.
They say teachers have to cater for each individual and it is an ongoing challenge. Can we not just figure out what type of intelligences we have in the class and design our teachings between two or three different intelligences instead of 25 individual people?
G'day Tammie,
ReplyDeleteNice to see a fellow Mac use in the course. I've seen a few more floating around as well, more than I perhaps expected.
In terms of capturing a screen shot, which is how I brought the "rainbow colour results" across this link might help http://graphicssoft.about.com/od/screencapturemac/ht/macscreenshot.htm
I tend to use the "Grab" option they talk about.
