Defining "Smart" - Inspiration4kidz. I began my educational experience in a Montessori program where student voice, choice and individual learning pace was valued. When I was in third grade, I moved to a public school setting. Initially excited to finally be in a “normal” school, I quickly realized that I might not be “normal”. During these early years in public school, I began to develop a fixed mindset about intelligence; believing that smart was simply something you were born with and I didn’t have it. I resented the “smart” kids who got to do fun projects and have extended visits in the library, while I did worksheets and made up work during recess. Part of my resentment also came from an inner struggle I was having with the belief that I wasn’t smart. There was a small part of me that believed there might be more to that definition. When I was 12 or 13 years old, I was attending a tracked middle school program.
Fixed mindset beliefs about being smart don’t benefit those for whom learning comes easily either. Extra Credit - Ms. H Our Virtual Classroom. Science, Multimedia, & Multiple Intelligences.

Table of contents What is the Multiple Intelligence Theory of Learning? The theory of Multiple Intelligences was first introduced in the book, Frames of Mind (1983) by Dr. In a conversation with Kathy Checkey, Gardner notes that individuals do not necessarily have the same strengths in each area or the same amalgam of intelligences.
One could literally spend hours on the Internet surfing through vast amounts of information about the Gardner's Multiple Intelligence (M.I.) theory of learning. Virtual Field Trips to Online Museums Conclusion. Technology and Multiple Intelligences. What are the multiple intelligences? What do they have to do with technology? How can I incorporate these ideas into teaching and learning? In his 1983 book called Frames of Mind, Howard Gardner of Harvard University identified seven intelligences we all possess. Because our understanding of the brain and human behavior is constantly changing, the number of intelligences is expanding.
Two to three new intelligences had been added recently. Gardner claims that we all have all the intelligences, but that no two people are exactly alike.

Playground Games Project: Multiple Intelligences. Discover Your Profile For far too long, Education systems have been focusing on just two of the many types of intelligences. Success in school has been based primarily on abilities in the areas of Language and Logic. If you have talents in areas other than these, well that's too bad because no matter how talented you may be, the School System will more than likely teach you that you're a failure !
This scarring does untold emotional & social damage to most, but some unscarred school-failures such as Einstein (terrible at maths) and Bill Gates (dropout). At the other extreme, our education systems will tell the "highly intelligent" individual that they can and should become a lawyer or a doctor irrespective of their talents in communicating with others or working as part of a team.
