According to Howard Gardner all human beings have multiple intelligences: 1-verbal-linguistic intelligence,2-mathematical-logical intelligence,3-musical intelligence,4-visual-spatial intelligence,5-bodily-kinesthetic intelligence,6-interpersonal intelligence,7-intrapersonal intelligence,8-naturalist intelligence,9-existential intelligence.
According to traditional definitions intelligence is a uniform cognitive capacity people are born with and Gardner defines intelligence as the ability to create an effective product or offer a service that is valued in a culture, set of skills that make it possible for a person to solve problems in life and the potential for finding or creating solutions for problems.
What are some benefits of using multiple intelligences approach in school?
1-regard intellectual ability more broadly provides opportunities for authentic learning based on students needs,2- students will be able to demonstrate and share their strengths,3- teaching for understanding-students accumulate positive educational experience.
When students understand the balance of their own multiple intelligences they begin to manage their own learning and to value their individual strengths.
In addition, we had to share our thoughts and opinions regarding this new online class. Personally, I think its the best combination of technology and teaching. It is very helpful and useful at the same time. I'm having a great time as well as learning new things. SO FAR SO GOOD.
MI approach has many benefits and I liked that you have listed some of them in your first post. I also agree with your opinion about the importance that the combination of techonology and teaching has in the process of learning. Good job!
