Are you responsible for integration of technology in your district?

Are you a teacher looking for ways to integrate technology that meets the needs of each and every student?

Are you looking for ways to integrate technology into existing lessons?

Are you studying/using multiple intelligences in your classroom?

Are you wondering what are the technologies available to my students – and how do they fit with their learning?  E.g., e-mail, mailing lists, message boards, chat rooms, multiuser virtual environments, world wide web, software applications 

Then you may want to review Multiple Intelligences and Instructional Tehcnology!

• There is information on software – e.g., categories, connection to multiple intelligences and Bloom’s taxonomy
• There is also information on various software applications that appeal to various intelligences –as well as where to go on the internet to get more information – e.g.,  students strong in/developing their intelligence of musical/rhythmic might be interested in Music Ace or Thinkin’ Things – and you can get more info on those at www.harmonicvision.com/products.htm and www.edmark.com/prod/tt/ respectively.
