Along the Way...

It's kind of funny what we are learning in this class. It just so happens that I have been learning almost the same things in my psychology and my EDIT classes. Things such as the multiple intelligences. I remember learning about that in EDIT, all 10 points of it. There is mathematical, verbal, musical, spatial, bodily/kinaesthetic, interpersonal, intrapersonal, naturalist, spiritual and existential. Growing up I always thought that there was really only one intelligence - intelligence. I knew some people were better at some areas than others were but I never really stopped to think about how that could be. As for myself, I find that I am kind of both interpersonal and intrapersonal. I like being around people and I care for them as well as myself. Gardiner really put it in perspective for me. Not only am I aware of my own intelligence(s) but it's going to help me a lot when I become a teacher. I will try and make some of my teachings available for hopefully most of the multiple intelligences. That way there isn't anybody left out of the lesson. Also in doing that I plan on making them fun! I know that I can't make everybody happy by doing things that I think the students would enjoy but I don't see any harm in giving the students a little enjoyment out of learning. I'm going to be an elementary school teacher. Preferably for grades 1 and 2. I think it's going to be an amazing time!
