week 9

Dear everyone,

Here we are in week nine .The time is already running out and how sad I am to miss my colleagues ideas and opinions . I suggest to create E-blog or communicate through Face book to be in tough and share our posts . 

What I learned & What I applied

 

This week I've read an article entitled .  'Learning Styles and Strategies'  by Richard M. Felder and Barbara A. Solomon.

-What I gained from the article that there are 8 types of learners.

1-Active Learners
2-Reflective Learners
3-Sensing Learners
4-Intuitive Learners
5-Visual Learners
6-Verbal Learners
7-Sequential Learners
8-Global Learners

These are kinds of activities which develop each stage of the student's intelligence . 

Linguistic	-word games -reading games -show and tell -using puppets -crosswords/ Anagrams
Musical	-Songs - Action rhymes -chants
Logical –mathematical	-word puzzles -Reading puzzles -numbers puzzles -ordering
Spatial	-shape puzzles -drawings -learning from videos@CD-Roms - Painting using computer softwares (Paint, Adobe Photoshop, AutoCAD) -Cameras (digital, webcam, camcorder) -Give them a Padlet of pictures,a You tube video, an album in picasa
Bodily –kinesthetic	-TPR -physical activities -songs &games - dancing
Musical	-Songs -chants -action rhymes -CD player, mp3s with headphones -Various websites of videos (Youtube, DailyMotion) -Computer with microphone, speakers, and earphones
Interpersonal	-pair work -group work -peer teaching -surveys -interviews
Intrapersonal	-reflection (blog) -project work -creative writing
Naturalist	-Classifying -nature projects -sorting

The Multiple Intelligence Check list as described by Berman , includes eight kinds of intelligence.

1-linguistic Intelligence e.g a learner with a good vocabulary , a good reader or like crosswords
2-logical- mathematical Intelligence e.g a learner who is good at using computers , is good at problem solving
3-spatial Intelligence e.g learner who enjoys drawings ,using pictures,charts,diagram
4-kinesthetic Intelligence e.g a leaner who learn through manipulating ad moving objects or games
5-musical Intelligence e.g a learner who learns well through the use of chants,rhyme and songs
6-interpersonal intelligence e.g a learner who learns well from pair group or team work activities .
7-intrapersonal intelligence e.g a learner who is a good self –evaluator and likes to reflect
8-Natural intelligence e.g a learner who is good recognizing patterns in things .

Armed with technology , teachers can ensure they provide enough variety in the activities they use.

 -I likes this site  much more by Barbra prashing entitled  Learning Styles vs. Multiple Intelligences :

Barbara Prashnig points out the differences between these two revolutionary approaches to teaching and clarifies the confusion which often exists when classroom teachers attempt to introduce new strategies 

     My main modalities are  visual , kinesthetic, auditory earning styles which is  important for me to be applied in the class room . I found that in an average class of adults , twenty-nine percent will be mainly visual learners , thirty-four percent auditory and thirty-seven percent kinesthetic . As for my classes especially the children ages 5 to 9 comes through the hands, eye and ears so the physical world is dominant at all times . see my blog I applied in  the class room http://sanabisfourthgrade.blogspot.com/ .

I went over my draft project and completed it. I would appreciate it if you could post your comments. Here is my Final Project .
