TRADITIONAL TEACHER

• LECTURES while standing at the front of the
  classroom
• WRITES on the blackboard
• ASKS students questions about the assigned
  reading or handouts
• WAITS while students finish their written work

12
MI TEACHER

• LECTURES and WRITES on the whiteboard at the
  front of the room
• BUT ALSO shifts methods of presentation from
  linguistic to spatial to musical and so on, often
  combining intelligences in crative ways such as
• Drawing pictures on the whiteboard
• Showing a videotape to illustrate and idea
• Playing music at some time during the day
• Providing hands-on experiences
• Having students interacting with each other in
  different ways

25
Integration of M.I. Technology The Positive
Effects

• Students find topics more interesting when
  information is presented in a variety of ways.
• Students feel more comfortable and motivated when
  they know that their learning styles will be
  addressed.
• Students believe their learning has more meaning
  when the way in which they learn and present new
  information is acknowledged.
• Students are more challenged, engaged, and
  independent.
• Students have more control over what and how they
  learn (self pacing).

26
Integration of M.I. Technology The Positive
Effects
Continued

• Students gain a greater sense of responsibility
  for their work.
• Students remain on task for longer periods of
  time.
• Students produce higher quality work, that
  reflects the increased depth and breadth of their
  knowledge and talents.
• Students become better at critical thinking,
  organizing evaluating information, and
  presenting their new knowledge in creative ways.
