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. Big Thinkers: Howard Gardner on Multiple Intelligences Howard Gardner: We have schools because we hope that someday when children have left schools that they will still be able to use what it is that they've learned. And there is now a massive amount of evidence from all realms of science that unless individuals take a very active role in what it is that they're studying, unless they learn to ask questions, to do things hands-on, to essentially recreate things in their own mind and then transform them as is needed, the ideas just disappear. The student may have a good grade on the exam.
Multiple Intelligences by Dr. Thomas Armstrong The theory of multiple intelligences was developed in 1983 by Dr. Howard Gardner, professor of education at Harvard University. It suggests that the traditional notion of intelligence, based on I.Q. testing, is far too limited. MI Intro ONE OF THE MOST COMPELLING, yet controversial new approaches to education reform is Multiple Intelligences Theory, or MI. Conceived of by Howard Gardner of the Harvard Graduate School of Education and Harvard Project Zero, MI first swept the worlds of education, cognitive science and developmental psychology in 1983 with the publication of Gardner's treatise, Frames of Mind. In the decade since Frames, the work of Dr.
Wire Side Chats: How Can Teachers Develop Students' Motivation What can teachers do to help develop students who will face challenges rather than be overwhelmed by them?

Learning Styles - Learning skills from MindTools.com Understanding Learning Preferences Identifying your preferred style of learning can make gaining new knowledge and skills easier.

How Common Core Testing Is Pushing States to Make School More Challenging for Kids In an early glimpse of how much tougher state tests could be in the Common Core era, a new federal report released in July shows that early adopters of the controversial standards are assessing their students using far higher bars of difficulty. While this new report is unlikely to settle the battle between Common Core advocates and foes, it does indicate that one of the original purposes of the standards—challenging students in math and reading more so they’ll be better prepared for the rigors of college and their careers—seems to be proving fruitful. But tougher tests aren’t contingent on adopting the Common Core: Texas, one of the few states that has eschewed the standards, is also among the few states using tests that are much more challenging. The Common Core adopters Kentucky, New York, and North Carolina joined Texas in offering tough math and English tests to its fourth- and eighth-graders. States’ Fourth-Grade Reading “Proficiency” Levels The U.S.
The Model>Principles of Learning: Summary The latest gains in the field of brain research cast a new light upon the learning process, which impacts curriculum design, teacher preparation, and classroom practices (Bransford, Brown, & Cocking, 1999). The model we have developed to illustrate the Principles of Learning, which we consider to have a significant influence upon knowledge acquisition, skill enhancement and competence development when applied to both classroom settings and communities, has evolved from developments in the study of learning. Knowing how humans learn has helped us design the model we propose, which demonstrates the practical applications of research into educational settings.
