Tech and GMIT's - Visual/Spatial These "picture smart" people learn best visually and tend to organize their thinking spatially. They like to think and create pictures. They are also drawn to information that is presented in a visual form. Encourage students to combine visual elements such as editing photographs or enhancing line drawings. Encourage them to add other intelligences such as written or oral descriptions or discussions. Ask them to make visual metaphors and stories. Roles: They would enjoy illustrating the project, identifying the visuals, color-coding the presentation, and creating the storyboard for the project.

Tech and GMIT's - Bodily/Kinesthetic These "body smart" people learn best through physical activity such as dance, hands-on tasks, constructing models, and any kind of movement. They are able to manipulate and control objects, as well as express their ideas through movement. Give these students a video camera and let them record their movement such as a wood working activity or a skit. Add other intelligences such as taking still pictures and writing about the steps in the process. Roles: They like to create and move around. Get them involved with gathering and organizing physical materials, keyboarding, acting out roles, or manipulating objects. They would like to run the camera, operate the mouse, or take the pictures. 1 Technology Tools 2 Keyboarding, mouse, joystick, and other devices for movement 3 Scientific probes and microscopes 4 Video production - skits, dances, sports, role playing, demonstrations 5 Animation - Macromedia Flash 6 Claymation - sequence of movement 7 Handheld Palms and Alphasmart - you can carry them everywhere 8 Virtual Field Trip - using and creating 9 Lego Logo and Robotics - other construction kit projects 10 Digital still and video cameras - skits, plays, role playing, demonstrations 11 Virtual worldsMusical/Rhythmic
Tech and GMIT's - Musical/Rhythmic These "music smart" people learn best through sounds including listening and making sounds such as songs, rhythms, patterns, and other types of auditory expression. They are able to use inductive and deductive reasoning and identify relationships in data. Provide students with audio and video recorders to capture their musical expressions.
