Multiple Intelligences: What is a WebQuest?

Here is another excellent video on Howard Gardner - he especially looks at testing in school (SAT). Produced by CNBC.

Worth thinking about especially in the light of the Australian My Schools website which is based around testing at a national level.

Multiple Intelligences (MI): What is a WebQuest?

by frances 19. January 2010 08:15

Promoting Learning International has a range of Lesson Grids that allow teachers to line up MI and Bloom's new Taxonomy.

Have a look at this great grid or matrix (48 Grid - PLI also has a 56 Grid) at: Country Area Program (CAP)
     
It can be very important when you are creating or using a WebQuest to map the Multiple Intelligences against the tasks and higher order thinking skill activities (Bloom's Taxonomy) within the WebQuest. This will give you reassurance that what you are doing is not just busy work but authentic work - one that will develop critical thinking skills.
      
You might like to go and have a look at the following websites:
Multiple Intelligences (MI) & Take the Test: Discover your MI Online! 
This site gives information about Multiple Intelligences (MI) and you can take a MI test to work out how intelligent you are on each of the 9 intelligences. The test contains 40 questions and provides a graph showing the results. Great way to show students graphically their MI chart.
