Wk 5 Assignment #1 Multiple Intelligences


How are students smart in different ways?
A student has different ways of learning and different intelligences they use in their daily lives.  The video showed me eight different intelligences of smart students.  Students are smart in different ways being able to visualizing things well, putting puzzles together, solving mathematical problems without a problem, they can be good at body movement last but not least they can be smart at writing and language.  When teachers learn more about the child’s learning style they can assist the child more in their learning.
How can teachers use multiple intelligence in the classroom?
Teachers can use multiple intelligence in the classroom for one, by using multimedia.  Like I stated above when a teacher know the learning style of the student it will be easier for the child and teacher to attend the students’ intelligence.  Using multimedia becomes easier for the teacher to learn the learning style of the student. You have visuals, sounds, printed words, motions, and reading abilities. Of course there a lot more.  When looking at the video I noticed the students at play time and what they wanted to choose to do.  It reminds me before my students went on break we allowed them to watch a movie.  We also set up an arts and craft station, computer station and card station.  Everyone was allowed to watch the movie but certain students wanted to go to the stations set up.  It really worked out well.

Learning Task & Assignment #3 My Understanding of Backward Design

By being prepared you know where  you want to end up says Grant Wiggins.  Critical creative thinking desired results.  Grant Wiggins says,"The text book is not the course it's a resource"  Backwards to me means when you begin with the end and start with what goal you want, you know your destination. By design I'm understanding to plan/execute. Wiggins shows that you should prioritize when using  a text book such as, skimming, highlighting  and skipping. The teacher is the artist/designer and it's up to us to know how we are going to teach to the frame work of the standard.
