Technology versus Learning Styles. Multiple intelligence theory has made it clear to the educator how to understand the different sides of students’, difference strengths and weaknesses. It is very important to integrate different learning styles with the language that students understand and use the most which is in a nut shell technology. It is a challenge to integrate technology with accordance to different learning styles. However, I find it challenging with a class of twenty five students to tailor a lesson plan with various intelligence. However, knowing that most of the students are visual learners, I get to integrate visual methods through my lesson to reach the majority of the class. You-tube, video-games, mind-mapping, drawing and designing, are various tools which help with the learning procedures. Musical learner is fun to teach while listening to a song or encouraging them to make one by decoding and creating through different programs which I wish to learn in the course of this module. With the verbal linguistic learner I found it hard to comprehend the procedure of doing a java applets program to enhance poetry learning. Also, what is a discovery puzzle? How to consider playing the Jeopardy game? I am looking forward on using those various programs that do not work.
I agree with you Hayah that it's very hard to tailor the lesson with various intelligence. But as you said you can add as much as we can songs, visuals, games and some hands-on activities so that we can reach most of the students, add some fun to the class and meet our objectives.
