Week 9: Multiple Technologies for Multiple Intelligences

A proverb said "there are many ways to Rome". This statement is definitely true when it is related with the language teaching activities and what skills you can involve in the activities. After reflecting with Howard Gardner concept of multiple intelligence in his 1983's books and reading some articles provided in webskills course, I am reminded that technology can be the tools to accommodate different kinds of students' interests and potentials in Verbal-Linguistic, Logical/Mathematical, Visual/Spatial, Bodily/Kinesthetic, Musical/Rhythmic, Intrapersonal, Interpersonal, Naturalist, and Existentialist intelligence. One activities may involve more than one intelligence and the tools are not only limited to the internet. gadget, electronic device such as TV, music player, CD player, computer softwares and hardwares are also the tools that may enhance the students intelligence. However, internet is still the most unlimited one and it provided more opportunity to be explored by the learners. I visited http://www.educatorstechnology.com/, and found this interesting picture as a very good example of some technologies that can be used for adjusting with different kinds of learning styles and interests.

I am so aware that considering the students background will definitely decided how successful the learning process. Therefore, choosing the right media and activities of learning is very crucial to posit the students as adult learner based on humanistic approach. I am glad that I have been familiar with the Gardner's concept of multiple intelligence. However, this week topic also raised my awareness to optimize the use multiple technology for helping the students improving not only multiple language skills but also their multiple intelligence.

Finally, let's multiply the learning process outcome with multiple intelligence with multiple technologies.

    Reading your post, I would recall a proverb-- a picture worth a thousand words. Your illustration made multiple intelligence more than clear.

    Dear Herman,

    "Let's multiply the learning process outcome with multiple intelligence with multiple technologies." Completely true! And let's multiply it a thousand fold-

    "All roads lead to Rome." True, we are all gearing up to the straight path of teaching the right thing and having an "Uncommon Sense." I can imagine how your students are thrilled by the "Hermanetic" teaching methodologies. Smile!

    Warm regards to your family.

    Hello, Herman

    I agree with you, there are many ways to reach a goal, but technology tools can make that journey easier and less stressful for us and more effective and interesting for our students. I really think nowadays teachers have to know about these new types of resources that can make a big difference in our classes.

    Sincerely

    JC
