Multiple Intelligences

I thought that this multiple intelligences exercise was really cool, because it showed me what my personal intelligences were. I found out that my strongest personal intelligence is nature, and my weakest personal intelligence is language. I thought it was interesting to get to see what everyone's multiple intelligences were, and what their strengths were as a whole. Another thing that I found interesting was that everyone is very different in their own ways. Everyone has their own personal strengths. Something that I found challenging about this exercise was trying to figure out how to make and customize my own chart, reflecting the exercise, without messing up the entire data entry chart.

My Multiple Intelligence Exercise

Expanded Activity

My first activity for my students was to create a personal blog, and to post positive comments on others people's blogs. A way I could expand on this activity is to assign partners in the class. I would make sure that the partners I assign didn't really know each other. I would then have them post a short summary blog about their partner based on their partner's pesonal blog and new information they have larned about them. This activity would help my students get closer to their classmates, learn new things about their classmates, and hopefully make a new friend.

I beleive that technology should be included in all school subjects. It doesn't matter how much technology students use just as long as they use some, because technology is starting to become a everyday thing that people are having to deal with. Technology could be used in big ways like making classroom blogs and classroom discussions, or in small ways like making a school Twitter account. I want my students to have a good technology learning experience, so that they would want to use it everyday. My goal as a teacher would be for my students to use technology to express themselves, and be involoved in discussion. In my opinion I think that is the most important thing.  For example, I might have my students set up a blog about themselves, and then have everyone post positive comments or questions on everyone's blog. This would be a great way for students to get to know each other.
