10 Multiple Intelligence's & Learning Styles, 10 Yogas,
&10 paths of the Kabbalistic Tree Of Life:
these ancient understandings and modern insights show us how unique we each are.
And that we all learn differently and yet in one way we are all the same... we need to be interested in what we learn.
Curiositiy is the most precious element in learning and so if we follow our innate interests
we eventually find many connections with other knowledge - yet it is our own person associations.and pathway
that is the ease in the recall of the information.
We know we are all Lifelong Learners with brain plasticity and it is best to learn in order of what we find interesting...
Technology allows students to learn non-linerally in the order they find best with back end accountability
and front end games all the basics can be joyfully learned.
Although we might be drawn towards one or a combinations of these
intelligences,
a well rounded education includes all of these as the tree
of life suggests.
Once we understand our weaknesses & strengths,
it becomes a key to understanding how we learn.
It can be useful in strengthening weaker subjects...
through teaching in a way that's more comprehensible,
because it's taught in a way we best learn.

* adapted from the
book - Developing Students' Multiple Intelligence's by Kristen Nicholson-Nelson Based on the ideas of Dr. Howard Gardner's book - Frames of Mind: the Theory of Multiple Intelligence's - Aliah had added Spiritual & Psychic. In meditation Aliah came upon the 9th & 10th intelligence's only to find later that Dr. Gardner has added a similar one himself that he called "Spiritual" - perhaps he will add Psychic soon too? Perhaps when my paper is written I will contact him on it - as Senior Director of Harvard Project Zero - with all the Indigo, Crystal, and Autistic, moody, kids with amazing psychic gifts that would blossom if they understood them more. |
