Multiple intelligences
and multimedia
It was a good start,and
it hooked me into some sort of interest.It also made me reflect on what I have
accomplished so far. After reading the lecture made me to update my way of
thinking and made me to think of my “how to motivate my future students” list.
According to Gardner everyone possesses these multiple intelligences or simply
put ,students and teachers has different abilities ,they do understand the
others,they do know themselves and they might be able to make something
valuable for the teaching part using their body/mind. Many teachers have had the experience of not being able to
reach some students until presenting the information in a completely different
way or providing new options for student expression. Perhaps it was a student
who struggled with writing until the teacher provided the option to create a
graphic story, which blossomed into a beautiful and complex narrative. The
theory of multiple
intelligences challenges the idea of a single IQ, where human
beings have one central "computer" where intelligence is housed.
It is useful to think
about the different ways that information can be presented. However, it is
critical to not classify students as being specific types of learners nor as
having an inborn or fixed type of intelligence. It is important to use
multimedia because we do learn and apply real-world skills,students work
collaboratively,they receive new information which is not part of the traditional
teaching methods and considerably they do develop the presentation and speaking
skills. As a “to be” teacher I would use all the media forms just to draw their
attention and make them to find my work fascinating for what I have created.
The implements of the multimedia in teaching is essential
,and it is changing the ways of learning itself. Besides it contains various
elements such as text,graphic,sound and video and with the implementation of
its elements student will be more motivated,if not it will be a primary reason
for high student dropout rates as a lack of encouragement. Out of the
ordinary,with the help of the new technology we have been developing our
natural or fixed type of intelligence unwillingly.
Multimedia technology effects both aspect of teaching and
learning,starting with the developing media literacy skills that involve
critically analyzing the use of the technology and the information derived from
them.what should be underlined is the oppurtinity to work in partnership that
is provided by MM.
Finally,it may be concluded that learning should be
meaningful.Multimedia is the only format to date that can monitor growth in all
of the intelligences that Gardner has identified.MM increases student’s
achievement and motivation. The theory of multiple intelligences implies that
our teaching should be able to develop as much as possible students’ different
potentials in their intelligences,giving everyone the chance to demonstrate and
use their potentials to the fullest possible. As a result the
technology,teachers and learner will be in the absolute control.
Hope you find it pleasant and practical.
Thanks!
