MI in the classroom

1. According to my test I was extremely high in interpersonal, intrapersonal, verbal and logical. As a interpersonal person I agree with this because I am able to collaborate well with others and I have good leadership skills. I am intrapersonal and a core characteristic of this that I show is I am able to set my own moral and principle priorities, and I am to regulate my own thoughts and behaviors. As a person who has verbal intelligence I often think and remember things through internal language, and often find the best way for me t0 express myself is verbally. Lastly because I am also very logical so I need things to be ordered and consistent in my life.

2. When I am in the classroom and other students like myself being a interpersonal enjoy working in groups and also working in groups where everyone has an assigned role. Being intrapersonal I enjoy classroom where I am given the chance to reflect on my learning and able to express my feelings on a topic. Students who are verbal learners tend to find classroom activities that involve public speaking, and also opportunities for creative writing. Lastly logical students prefer things to have the criteria explained at the beginning as well as finding things such as classroom debates interesting
3. Since I have 4 types of intelligence that are very prevalent I will give students chances to do group work and also individual activities that each student to work and reflect on their learning. I will also try to present things to my students in an organized well thought-out matter. In addition I would like to provide them opportunities for in class discussions and daily journals.

4. Technologies that support interpersonal intelligence are things such as board games, class discussions, and post-it notes. Some that support intrapersonal intelligence are journals, diaries, and self assessment. Others technologies that support verbal intelligence are textbooks, pens and pencils, and word processing. Students are logical find technologies such as calculators, tangrams, measuring cups and scales. Activities that involve each of these will stimulate students with these types of intelligences.

5. As a future teacher it is important that each student has intelligence in different ways. Often students who do not demonstrate logical or verbal intelligence they are not recognized as being intelligent. We have to remember that every child is intelligent in one of the nine different types. Also we need to remember to praise the students for their type of intelligence when it is expressed. Every child needs someone to help the realize they are intelligent in some way.
