Other intelligences

Existencial Intelligence




Moral Intelligence






Spiritual Intelligence














Naturalist Intelligence
















































BGFL MULTIPLE INTELIGENCE





We can develop multiple intelligences through technology, because it gave us the opportunity to learn how to play an instrument by watching a tutorial, learn another language by listening audio, media, news, videos in you tube, technology allows us to solve mathematical problems and give us the solution, or result of the operation we are making; also it allows us to be connected with our friends, family, partners. We can know people, make new friends, and look for job; we can sale and buy items.
If we want to explore what intelligent we are, or try to develop a new ability that we have, it is time to use technology to do it, and include it in our lessons to contribute with the development of people capacities.
Multiple intelligences shows us as teachers that people is different, and that they have different ways of developing skills, so we can take into account multiple intelligence inside our class, and allo students to do what they enjoy the most.
"Seven kinds of intelligence would allow seven ways to teach, rather than one."

The Readwritethink site has many resources, but for the part of writing, it has an online play, in which the alphabet appears in a chart and the student chooses the letters he wants, and it gives him a space in which the student writes a word that starts with the letter he/ she chose.

In this link there are many options to do writing exercise; for example, there is one in which the paragraph comes disorganized, so there is a space under the paragraph in which the student writes down the paragraph correctly.
There are others like:
Lack of topic exercise.
Faulty start.
Development ideas.
