technology and the class

According to Howard Gardner, the education specialist, there are verious forms of intelligence. These intelligences, known as "multiple intelligences," should be approached by teachers in their lessons. In my studies at Guilford College, as teachers we had to reach all of the intelligences in our lesson plans, and this always seemed difficult. How can a teacher infuse music and visual aspects into a lesson? Throughout this course, I have realized that technology is an awesome way to reach these various intelligences. Through powerpoint presentations, you are using visual in a way that goes beyond the chalk or whiteboard. Through putting music on webpages or allowing students to create their own soundtrack to a presentation, they can use Audacity and place their music on a webpage. By recording presentations outside and then placing them on a Podcast such as Youtube, the students can use the Naturalistic and Visual Intelligence. The list goes on. Once a teacher realizes that technology can help them reach all students in their various learning styles, it might help the teacher to plan their lessons more effectively...but also to help the students learn in a way that they will understand.
