Multiple Intelligences

In class today, we took a Multiple Intelligences quiz to see how best we learn.  I was not surprised that my top intelligence was logic/mathematical.  I have always been good with numbers.  This exercise showed me new ways of getting kids involved.  The way that the whole class was able to come together in a collaborative document and work with the same numbers was really cool to watch.  The challenging part was to not mess up other peoples work.  This activity could be a good way to help teacher students how to have respect for their peer's work.

Children always want to know what they do good and have a sense that they are like everyone else.  This is a good way to educate them that it is good to be different.  Because we all learn in different ways, it could be a good learning opportunity for the students.  It would show the students that they are all smart but all learn in different ways.  It can also help students know how best they study.  Multiple Intelligences have a big place in the classroom.
