Chapter 5: Teaching to the Individual, Working with the Group

I agree with the statement by Mahogany on page 92: "I like being able to do different activities because we all learn different." This follows a lot of what we have been talking about and have been reading in Multiple Intelligences by Howard Gardner.

This is so important in the classroom because, to me, it doesn't make any sense to present information to students who are strictly visual learners in the form of audio. If we do this to students we are basically setting them up for failure. It is our job as teachers to accommodate for students (to a certain extent). The most common situation I see is when a student is a kinesthetic learner but they are not given the opportunity to learn in that form. They are instructed to stay in their seats and stay still.
