Multiple Intelligences Survey for Kids - YouTube

"In this video, Laura Candler shares how to use a Multiple Intelligences survey she created for upper elementary and middle school students."

Beth Dichter's insight:

Thanks to Cool Cat Teacher Blog to bringing this video to my attention. If you know about  Howard Gardner's multiple intelligences and you would like to introduce them to your students this video will explain how Laura Candler created a survey form for students to fill out (and she provides a copy to you) as well as how to have students score themselves. She clearly states that the survey is not scientific or diagnostic, but it may show students where they have strengths. In addition to the survey you may also access materials from her website to help you teach about multiple intelligences. Here is the link to go directly to her website to print out the survey, but it worth the time to watch the video and hear her explanations.

The Online Interactive Thinking Strategies and Tools are designed to enable students to think with depth and structure. This article Thinking Tools builds inclusive learning by building students coping and problem solving capacities. This article links with my topic of Using Mathematical Higher Order Thinking in the digital Technologies to present their thoughts and findings using Multiple Intelligences. This program could be used to support the Digital Technologies processes and production skills strand of the proposed Technologies learning area of the Australian Curriculums sub-strand of Interactions and impacts.  The learning curve provides inclusive learning by building cohesive learning partnerships

How Human Beings Learn | The BrainMass Edge

How Human Beings Learn | The BrainMass Edge | Eclectic Technology | Scoop.it
Beth Dichter's insight:

This infographic explores how humans learn. It starts by defining "What is learning" and then explores non-associative and associative learning. This is followed by a look at formal learning (as between a teacher and a student, although it may not be face to face. This part of the discussion takes a look at Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences and the last portion looks at the three learning styles. The infographic provides a quick overview of a number of theories that discuss how people learn.

iPad Apps for Multiple Intelligences - A Clickable Image

iPad Apps for Multiple Intelligences - A Clickable Image | Eclectic Technology | Scoop.it
What makes the iPad brilliant is that it caters to all different intelligences. In fact most apps touch upon all different types of intelligences. I've tried to match all of my favorite educational apps with their corresponding intelligences.

This post will provide links to iPad apps that are looked at using Gardner's Multiple Intelligences. It is important to remember that many apps may link to a variety of the intelligences. She also quotes Daniel Willingham "Children do differ in their abilities with different modalities, but teaching the child in his best modaility doesn't affect his educational achievement. What does matter is whether the child is taught in the content's best modality."

Each multiple intelligence is represented in the full image. Click on the app icon to see in the App Store.

It's great to learn about new apps to enhance the Multiple Intelligences approach to teaching!
