Logical-Mathematical Intelligence • Software that: • Offers immediate feedback • Goes beyond drill & practice • Develops higher-order thinking skills • Develops problem-solving skills (including multistep problems and problems with multiple solutions) • Requires students to learn and use computer programming language • Online manipulatives • Interactive simulations • Electronic Puzzles
Kinesthetic • Hand-eye coordination • Keyboard • Mouse • Touch screen • Controller • Computer simulations • Virtual reality simulation • Virtual field trips • Wii
Visual-Spatial • Video • Speech Viewer – visual feedback for speech patterns • Graphic design • Multimedia presentations and projects • Virtual reality
Musical • Software & Equipment that: • Takes a recorded hummed tune and makes it sound like different instruments • Allows user to compose for and orchestrate many different instruments • Enables students to understand a piece musically, historically, culturally, and politically
