Learning Log

Today in class we talked a lot about the different intelligences people may. Here is what I learned today.

Fluid Intelligence- acquiring knowledge quickly

Crystallized Intelligence- knowledge you have from through out your life.

Sternbergs Triarchic Theory:

And of course Gardner's Multiple Intelligence

There are eight intelligences you can be categorized under and you can be under more then one.

Linguistic

Logical

Musical

Visual

Kinestetic

Interpersonal

Intrapersonal

Naturalistic

So What?

By knowing the different possibilities in which your students can learn it helps you understand that not everyone learns the same why. this allows you to be creative with your teaching and helps you hit every learning intelligence that Gardner lists. This also helps you think of ways you will need to adapt to the things you have in your classroom to get by with the lesson.

Now What?

Now that we did an exercise of picking a unit and plugging an activity into each intelligence it will help me make other lesson/unit plans. I should always consider the eight multiple intelligence every time I create a unit plan so that i can hit every kind of learner in my classroom/gym.
