After reading this week`s articles on Technology, MI and Learning styles I have created a table a table reflecting my idea about the technology tools. I will work with these tools with my trainee teachers. Here is my table.
| Intelligence | Technology Activities |

Hi P.K.Jayaraj,
ReplyDeleteI agree that the idea of peer-reading is a good one that I would like to use it in my writing classes, in which my students can to read their partner’s writing and give constructive feedback and exchange ideas. First, I’ll introduce the rubric assessment with criteria for them to follow, then students themselves give feedback to each other. That can motivate collaboration work and information share.
The topic in week 9 is pretty interesting. We can know the relationship between multiple intelligences and learning styles with the help of technology. It’s logically nice that you created a table with technology tools that you will work with your trainee teachers. I think it’ll be a good guide for you to address learning styles with technology intervention.
The E-skills course is coming to an end but I think it never “ends” at all. I’m sure we know how to develop our teaching with the help of tech tools and keep going.
Best,
Phuong Mai
