The Multiple Intelligences and Technology

Melissa Edwards is one of my “go-to” people when it comes to purposefully using technology in the classroom.  A few weeks ago we were chatting about the Multiple Intelligences, and she put a post together that included some great resources and references.  So, if you are interested in spending some time clicking through and checking out some of the good stuff that is out there, please read on.  Melissa has done the work for you.  Thanks, girl! ~EMP

Connecting Technology and Multiple Intelligences

I am a firm believer in the ways student learning relates to Howard Gardner’s Multiple Intelligences. In my mind: All students can learn … that learning takes place in different ways and is expressed in different ways. When in the classroom, I tried to create lessons to go along with the ideas of Multiple Intelligences. I now work each day to help teachers find ways to utilize technology for student instruction and learning. I have recently started thinking about the ways those two things (Multiple Intelligences and Technology in the Classroom) can go together.  READ the rest on Melissa’s Website :-)

After teaching 4th grade for seven years, with a focus on reading and writing, Melissa Edwards worked as a gifted education resource teacher for one year at a magnet school for the visual and performing Arts. While in the classroom, she focused on Problem-Based Learning and using technology in her classroom. Her favorite things to teach involve reading and writing, as well as using those to tap into students’ creativity and using problem-based learning as well as technology. Melissa believes technology can be used in various ways to meet the needs of all learners and to open up the world. In order to better prepare students for the future, technology must be a key component to and in their education. Now, as an instructional resource specialist for her county’s school system, Melissa helps teachers discover ways to use technology tools to meet the instructional needs of students.
