My reflections: Week 9:

Can you believe it! Week 9?


Multiple intelligences and Learning styles can answer the questions (what-content) and (how-method) for students…Multiple intelligences makes students think about the type of intelligences they are! This makes them think of their decisions… they can choose to study a subject where they are most intelligent! Learning styles can help students learn faster and even learn better! At the same time they can practice learning in other styles so they can improve other learning modes…




Both teachers and students should be aware of their different learning styles/teaching styles. This can be done as suggested by many of my colleagues by taking an online questionnaire. Here is a link to one online questionnaire:

(Soloman and Felder's questionnaire)


Now we have good explanations for our students and principals why integrating technology in our classes is so important. Technology can offer teachers activities for different learning styles. My colleagues offer many useful activities that can suit different learning styles. I believe that teachers should try match their teaching styles to their students' learning styles… this way we can help students better understand the material/skills we want to deliver!



I know that there are many sites that help us with MI and LS but I suggest you visit the following site too:

Have a great week!
