Using Multiple Intelligence in the Classroom

Multiple Intelligence is a creative way to look at how each of us as individuals learn and also shows us understanding for others learning needs. I enjoyed taking the Multiple Intelligence evaluation to determine the areas of learning that i am best at and places that need improvement. This survey tool is a great idea to have students take not only to understand themselves where their learning is strongest and weakest. It also allows the teacher to gain critical information on the best way to present information to each individual student in different ways. The way that this idea of different learning types shows the areas of interest and influence can have a great influence on your classroom if the time is taken to structure the class lessons to hit the divers learning types. On another note I used Google doc to create a data chart on a group of people who have taken the Multiple Intelligence quiz. This doc was a catastrophe in the making with the multiple users accessing and making changes all at the same time. This doc would theoretically work better if people entered information on their own time and were careful not to undo work done by others. In the end I was not impressed with this application.
