10 Ways To Support Learning Styles With Concept Mapping

10 Ways To Support Learning Styles With Concept Mapping | Eclectic Technology | Scoop.it

"Engaging your mind takes some effort to identify what you care for and what is the best way to attain what you care for. Do you want students to become better learners? Help them discover what they care for by allowing them to identify and use their own learning style."

Beth Dichter's insight:

Concept maps are a great tool for many learners...and this post provides ten ways you might consider using them in your classroom. The concept maps are divided into three categories: Learn by Seeing, Learn by Doing, and Learn by Hearing. In many cases there is a concept map that shows off the style.

There are many free tools to help create concept maps. A quick look on concept maps in this Scoop.it will provide quite a few results.

iPad Apps for Multiple Intelligences - A Clickable Image

iPad Apps for Multiple Intelligences - A Clickable Image | Eclectic Technology | Scoop.it
What makes the iPad brilliant is that it caters to all different intelligences. In fact most apps touch upon all different types of intelligences. I've tried to match all of my favorite educational apps with their corresponding intelligences.

This post will provide links to iPad apps that are looked at using Gardner's Multiple Intelligences. It is important to remember that many apps may link to a variety of the intelligences. She also quotes Daniel Willingham "Children do differ in their abilities with different modalities, but teaching the child in his best modaility doesn't affect his educational achievement. What does matter is whether the child is taught in the content's best modality."

Each multiple intelligence is represented in the full image. Click on the app icon to see in the App Store.

It's great to learn about new apps to enhance the Multiple Intelligences approach to teaching!
