Multiple intelligences

We can also call them multiple ways of learning, and it’s not a barrier for us, as teachers, it is an advantage because we use many different kinds of tasks in our classrooms to make everyone learn, it also we’ll keep our students out of boredom  due to the variety of activities. 
Technology is going to be our great partner because it opens up a whole new world of discovery and learning.  It also helps teacher to structure lessons that reach in all the students the ability they need to develop to acquire the new language. 
Technology empowers the students to be part of their own learning developing their strengths thanks to their multiple intelligences.

  1. Dear Alex,

    It is the first time I am writing to you and I do not want this course finishes without to say that your job has been incredible. I have read your post and they have been perceptive and valuable insights.

    Now I totally agree with you that multiple intelligences are our friends because they push us to create new and different activities every day for our students, we do not have to forget that every student is a unique world so we have to make a great effort to know each of them.

    The things we have learnt and shared here have been fantastic, interesting and useful. I would like to keep in touch with you after this course.

    Great job!!

  2. Hi Alex,

    Very good points you make here and I also think that this variety of learning styles should be seen as an opportunity for us, teachers, to experiment with the endless possibilities we now have to reach our students no matter their preferences when it comes to learning a foreign language.
    Congrats!

    I love your last sentence: Technology empowers the students to be part of their own learning developing their strengths thanks to their multiple intelligences. Very well said and very, very true.
