MI (Multiple Intelligence) Testing:
It has been recognized that everyone has different strengths and different weaknesses when it comes to learning. We have attempted to develop this webquest to accommodate people with differing learning strengths, using Howard Gardner's Multiple Intelligence Theory as our model.
In order to take advantage of this design, students who are embarking on the webquest are requested to proceed first to the following website:
Multiple Intelligence Inventory
This site, based on Howard Gardner’s work on multiple intelligence, will evaluate each student’s intelligence profile, and indicate which intelligence style best describes the student. The student will then progress to the start of the webquest – The Inn – where they will proceed along a predesignated path designed to complement that strength while the student acquires and completes the learning goals that underlay the webquest.
At the same time, teachers who wish to learn more about Multiple Intelligence theory, and how it relates to learning, may wish to check out the following website on Multiple Intelligence and their incorporation into the classroom
