Extending Gardners Multiple Intelligences to Technology Genres
June 5, 2009 — Lynne M BaileyTim Holt blogs about MI’s in this post on his blog.
“I propose that there is a multiple intelligence for students that related directly to technology. I call it Multiple Technology Intelligences (MTI).”
- Animation Intelligence: Student learn by creating drawings and animations.
- Gaming Intelligence: Students learn through simulation, whether creating or playing.
- Video Intelligence: Students learn through the creation of multimedia video content such as digital storytelling.
- Music Intelligence: Student learn through the creation of music, ringtones, jungles, etc.
- Podcasting Intelligence: Student learn through the creation of audio narratives.
- Office Intelligence: Students learn best through the use of traditional office-style programs.
- Connecting Intelligence: Students learn best through the use of social networking. This also includes video conferencing.”
In creating assignments for students, it is important to allow them a choice of avenues for learning and presenting.This list of multiple technologies is an exceptionally great way to look at it and compare it to Gardner’s categories. Go to the post for some insightful comments. I particularly like adding Programming to the Gaming category.
