Module 3: Teaching with Technology:Multiple Intelligence Test

The MIT test was very interesting and indicated that my "strengths" were in the "interpersonal" and "Spatial-Visual" areas. This indicates that I tend to learn best by seeing things in visual/pictorial form. I retain information better by creating a mental image or a way to connect the information to something I can see in my head. I can remember things I have read by remembering where it is on a page, or what the teacher was wearing when they talked about it. The interpersonal intelligence seems to fit in many areas, since I can play "devils advocate" pretty well and see how things may be perceived from many different perspectives. To augment my personal learning I need to use multiple visual cues to retain information- viewing information in many formats may be helpful. I also would benefit from having discussions with others about what I have read. I don't think there are any great movies out there on Jerome Bruner or Lev Vygotsky- but I'll google it when I finish this blog !
