The document analyzes forum discussions from a CALL II class about how the course should be structured. Students expressed different preferences, such as practical activities versus dynamic activities. The facilitator will need to adapt the curriculum to accommodate diverse learning styles based on Howard Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences. Technology can enhance each type of intelligence, such as using word processors to develop linguistic skills or graphics programs to develop spatial skills. Educators should integrate a variety of teaching methods using technology to meet the needs of all learners.

Analyzing Forum Discussion By Anah鱈 Ar叩mbula BarrazaAnd Elizabeth Manjarrez Aguirre We were assigned to read and to evaluate all the results obtained from the forum What / how I卒d like to learn CALL II that our semester classmates created upon different points of view on this interesting subject of discussion, after comparing and contrasting different views of how our class should be develop during this semester we found that our main agreement is that the class will be better to have fun and cool activities but, there is a question, If we all think in different ways, we develop ourselves not in the same environment but overall we learn total distinct strategies the facilitator must think on how he will adapt the curriculum so that all the students get to understand but mainly apply the content in this dynamic subject. We all know multiple intelligences are divided in different areas which show how a person acquire information and then transform it into knowledge those are: Logical-mathematical, Spatial, Linguistic. Bodily-kinesthetic, Musical, Interpersonal, and Intrapersonal. So according to all the information we found on our classmates answers we decided to investigate about them and the best way the teacher can arrange the curricular topics and then create activities so the students will absorb as much information as they can.

Multiple Intelligences Howard Gardner of Harvard has identified seven distinct intelligences. This theory has emerged from recent cognitive research and "documents the extent to which students possess different kinds of minds and therefore learn, remember, perform, and understand in different ways," according to Gardner (1991). According to this theory, "we are all able to know the world through language, logical-mathematical analysis, spatial representation, musical thinking, the use of the body to solve problems or to make things, an understanding of other individuals, and an understanding of ourselves. Where individuals differ is in the strength of these intelligences - the so-called profile of intelligences - and in the ways in which such intelligences are invoked and combined to carry out different tasks, solve diverse problems, and progress in various domains." How Technology Enhances Howard Gardner's Eight Intelligences Introduction by Dave Keefe for Contribution by Dee Dickinson America Tomorrow has long supported the premise that all students can learn, and that a very appropriate use of technology is to help teachers and students understand the individual learning strengths of each student across the full spectrum of learning. Howard Gardner's 1983 publication of "Frames of Mind" provided the concept of Seven Types of Intelligence as a structure for exploring this spectrum. Recently Gardner added Naturalist Intelligence to expand his model to eight different forms of intelligence. Dee Dickinson, CEO and Founder of New Horizons for Learning, is one of Gardner's most articulate and supportive advocates, and is currently working on a chapter on Naturalist Intelligence for Teaching and Learning Through Multiple Intelligence by Linda Campbell, Bruce Campbell and Dee Dickinson (Allyn and Bacon, 1998). Dee was America Tomorrow's first contributing author and has provided excerpts from the book on ways that Technology enhances each of the Gardner Intelligences. This document will form the basis for an asynchronous discussion between Dee and the Johns Hopkins University graduate education class on "Online Coaching and Instruction on the Internet" Dee comments to the class: "You are the first to see the section on technology and the Naturalist. It is too long for the book, but I found so much interesting material I wanted to write it up. I will have to cut it, but here's the whole thing for you. I am looking forward to your questions, comments, and discussions about this and related subjects. Am especially anxious to learn from you. See you online soon!" --Dee Dickinson
Connecting Technology and Multiple Intelligence The multiple intelligences can be enhanced with the use of technology. Following Howard Gardner's theory of multiple intelligence, teachers can encourage development by providing enrichment opportunities in each of the areas of the intellect. . Linguistic: Use of word processing programs can help teach language, writing, editing, and rewriting skills. Also the Internet is an invaluable tool in learning. Through e-mail children can improve their language skills as well. Word processors with voice annotations. Desktop publishing programs. Programs that allow children to create stories, poems, essays, etc. Multimedia authoring. Videodiscs to create presentations. Using tape recorders. Logical-Mathematical:Computer programs that teach logic and critical thinking skills. These are also in game formats that could motivate children. Math programs that allows drilling and practicing. Database programs that help explore and organize data and information. Problem solving software Computer Aided design programs Strategy game software Graphing calculators Visual/Spatial: Graphics programs that help develop creativity and visual skills. Also browsing the Internet, organizing files, folders will develop some spatial understanding. Draw programs (CorelDraw) Image composing programs (image composer) Paint programs (Photopaint, Microsoft paint) Reading programs with visual clues Web page programs 3D software Software games Spreadsheet programs which allow children to see charts, maps or diagrams
Multimedia authoring programs Musical:programs that help write or play music. Music composing software Videodisc player Programs integrating stories with songs and instruments Reading programs which relate letter/sound with music Programs which allow children to create their own music CD-ROMs about music and instruments Audio CDs Tape recorders Word processors (to write about a movie or song) Bodily-Kinesthetic: Using computers will help develop hand-eye coordination. Working with a computer will allow children to become involved in their learning, actively. Animation programs Interpersonal:Students can work in groups of two to four on the computers. Working in groups will strengthen children鐃s communication and cooperation skills. Computer games which requires two or more persons Programs that allow to create group presentations (PowerPoint) Telecommunication programs E-mail Distance education Chat to discuss ideas Help others with any programs Intrapersonal:The computer can help children build up individual skills. It allows for differences in children鐃s learning styles and abilities. Children may work on their own pace with computers. Any programs which allow children to work independently. Games involving only one person. Brainstorming or problem solving software.
Instructional games Word processors for journaling and recording feelings Developing multimedia portfolio Video editing (Adobe Premier) We all learn in different ways. Educators need to try to meet the needs of all children by providing a variety of lessons using various teaching methods. When integrating technology in lessons, teachers have to make sure to remember the needs of all the learners and use various methods and techniques. Using software can develop the potential of all children.
