Optional Post - Multiple Intelligences

I took the test for the multiple intelligences and got the following result :-

I think this test is great and is spot on really. This is pretty much how I view myself in the different areas tested. 

I also believe in the multiple intelligence theories. I think it makes more sense that people have different types of intelligence in different areas and at different levels. It all comes down to the individual, their life experiences and prior knowledge and their application of it in situations. For more information please read the following article by Han S. Paik about multiple intelligences and also the other theory of one intelligence - I do not agree with this but have a read and make up your own mind-. (Also available in the moodle site in the week 1 section in the readings options under Multiple Intelligences optional reading).

In classrooms I believe it is easy to see multiply intelligences in students. When students are profiled a teacher can see where some students are more intelligent, skilled or capable in certain areas then other students are. This is why it is important to profile and then be flexible and understanding in the classroom and try to make changes and have options available for all the students to show how smart they are in whatever area it is they excel in. Then equally important support, scaffold and teach them in the areas they are not so capable in to try to aim for all students to have an all round and level multiple intelligence.

Otherwise teach them to use their whole brain and body together in all areas of their life and in all situations.

ICTs in the classroom can help with giving students another way to learn or express themselves. They may find new and creative ways to use ICTs and even teach us a thing or two along the way, remember if we learn from them and they see this it allows the teacher to explain about Life Long Learning and then encourage students to so too. Students nowadays find comfort in using ICTs since it is an aspect of their everyday lives now. Therefore allowing students access to it to both learn and express themselves can aid students who may struggle with traditional methods in the classroom. 

Please feel free to comment on which intelligence theory you support and why you may think I am correct or misled.
