In an effort to discover innovative ways to help learners succeed, based on their individual intelligence, we are going to look at Gardners's Multiple Intelligences Theory.

• Congratulations, you have completed the assessment! What are your top two or three intelligence strengths? Look them up on the website under the practice tab and read about them.     http://www.literacynet.org/mi/practice/index.html (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.
• These are your preferred learning strengths. Perhaps you agree with the findings or maybe you were surprised by the outcome.  
• The next part of the assignment is to proceed to the class discussion board and share your top 3 preferences with your classmates. In your original thread, discuss your outcomes.
  • Do the explanations match your perspectives of you?
  • Were you surprised?
  • Cite a personal experience that substantiates your experience with one of your preferred learning styles.
  • How does your intelligence style compliment or conflict with the other learning styles?
