1 Using Technology To Address Diverse Needs How Technology is used to address Howard Gardner’s Multiple Intelligences Theory

2 Howard Gardner 1.Verbal/Linguistic 2.Logical/Mathematical 3.Visual/Spatial 4.Bodily/Kinesthetic 5.Musical/Rhythmic 6.Intrapersonal 7.Interpersonal 8.Naturalist 9.Existential

3 Verbal/Linguistic Heavily emphasized in classroom Lecture, recitation, textbooks, board work Orally and in Writing

4 Logical/Mathematical Highly valued in classroom Intelligence of logic and reasoning Problem solvers Sequenced, orderly lessons

5 Visual/Spatial Spatial reasoning- charts, graphs, maps, tables, illustrations, art, puzzles, costumes Educators aware Picture ideas and solutions before ability to verbalize or put into practice

6 Bodily/Kinesthetic Active learning Fine and gross motor skills Overactive in traditional classroom, but thrive in hands-on learning environment

7 Musical/Rhythmic Patterns, songs, poetry, instruments, environmental sounds, response to rhythms Find patterns Not just auditory

8 Intrapersonal Feelings, values, attitudes Connection w/ curriculum Asks questions: “Why do I need to learn this” or Is this policy fair?”

9 Interpersonal Social learning Social interaction- make sense of learning Labeled “too talkative” -Thrive in cooperative groups –Work with partners –Whole group instruction –Free to ask, discuss, understand

10 Naturalist Categories and hierarchies Plants and animals Classification, categorization, hierarchical frameworks

11 Existential Human response to being alive Aesthetics, philosophy, religion Classical values of beauty, truth, goodness Place in “Big Picture” (classroom, community, world, universe)

12 MI Theory Distinct Characteristics Act in consort/not mutually exclusive EVERYONE HAS ALL INTELLIGENCES Labeling- “kinesthetic learner” »Rather- identify strengths - instructional opportunities - promote development of all intelligences in students

13 MI Theory Cont. Not to label or exclude Learners successful through different paths to learning Distinct entities- but don’t operate in isolation Overlapping in classroom

14 Things to Remember Everyone has all intelligences Strengthen intelligences Survey is “snapshot” of time- it can change MI – to empower people- not label them

15 Questions How can ISTE NETS for Students help you to develop technology-based instruction? How does the instructional context help you to determine the intelligences technology will stimulate?

16 Hints Start with knowledge of intelligences and consider which media it will support. Don’t select technology and THEN make it fit the intelligences.
