WEEK  9

This week was related to Learning styles and Technology tools for Multiple intelligences. Some years ago, I heard about Gardner’s Theory about Multiple Intelligences and I started to consider in planning my classes. But now, after reading these interesting articles about it, I asked myself if I am doing the right thing . I know that I have tried…but from now on I will do the best for my students.

I like technology but even though I am not so skillful, I have tried to apply the basic tools I knew in my classes ( videos, power point, multimedia, whiteboard, internet links, youtube, softwares,etc). Now, after reading the articles about technology and multiple intelligences ,I realized that I did not know many things related to that . So, this is a good beginning in searching for information and became interested in this amazing topic.  

I took the Learning styles quiz and it showed that I am more Social emotional (4) , Auditory (3.5), kinaesthetic and visual (3 each one) and Metacognitive (2.5) .

Other reading that open my mind was  “Sailing the 5C’s learning strategies”.This reading is very complete and  instructive ..  I’ve learned about the importance in teaching the students learning strategies and how they can help our students to be autonomous. From here I have taken some examples to use in my classes.

The last task but not the least was to finish the Final Project. I have to improve my draft report , and write the final version of my project ( a blog where my students are going to practice their written skill) It was a hard work , but lastly I finish .
