Gardner was the only theorist to identify the fact that intelligence does have a role in the learning learning process and that there are 8 different types of intelligence. Technology would be a great tool in getting students with different types of intelligence to work as a group and be creative in achieving a desired learning outcome. (SlideShare Inc., 2011). Imagine a set of students with each having one of the 8 intelligences identified (linguistic, musical, logico-mathematical, spatial, bodily-kinesthetic, intrapersonal, interpersonal and naturalist), creating something extraordinary with the use of technology as a scaffold. Hence, it is crucial that teachers know of the different learning theories particularly those that would be enhanced by the use of technology.
Do you agree?
I do agree, i have thought about it, and Gardner is the man whose theory speaks to multiple learning stlyes among children, now if we can integrate technology in our teaching and incorporate audio, visual, tactile activites then we are bound to cater to most if not all our students need, J, but we are still not being provided with the technology or its devices in order to do this massive transformation, yes we do it when we present power point lesson, but how much of the styles can be covered using only power point?
ReplyDeleteYou are so right. If teachers are provided with the necessary equipment, then they could adequately prepare for children with the different learning styles adequately. At times the single piece of equipment provided is not being maintained, hence half the time not working. I think of we are serious about educating our children we would invest more in the kind of equipment that would enhance their learning
ReplyDeleteI think the government needs to play a more active role in seeing that schools are provided with technological resources to cater to the needs of students with different learning styles.
ReplyDeleteYes I agree. It is imperative that government buy and maintain technological resources so students learning styles can be address.It is the 21st century so invest in our future through our children by providing with technological resources to cater to the needs of students with different learning styles.
