1. Analyzing Forum Discussion
By
Anahí Arámbula BarrazaAnd Elizabeth Manjarrez Aguirre
We were assigned to read and to evaluate all the results obtained from the forum “What / how I´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.

2. 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

3. 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

4. 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�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�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.

5. 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.
