So, we're heading towards the end of the course! During week nine, we had to submit the final project and study multiple intelligence in relation to technology. Gardner's theory on multiple intelligence is famous among teachers worldwide. For some years it had been the topic of discussion in educational seminars, conventions or conferences. Obviously it is helpful to know the learning styles of your students and cater for their needs. In addition, the integration of technology wtih this theory further increases a teacher's chances to create and teach lessons in a way that would make his students feel contented. However, technology and multiple intelligences are not panacea for dealing with problematic situations in a classroom or for making our lessons more attractive.
Gardner's theory also reminded me of NLP. Neurolinguistic Programming also takes into consideration, among other things, the senses. NLP examines how the human mind processes information using the VAKOG model (from the initial letters of the sensory-specific modalities: visual, auditory, kinesthetic, olfactory, gustatory). For further reading I recommend you this link http://books.google.gr/books?id=JgIKNzpAnd8C&pg=PA31&lpg=PA31&dq=VAKOG&source=bl&ots=yLF8jXOjhK&sig=0etNZMJrKov_rFjWw_I8DnfjBa8&hl=en&sa=X&ei=cZCrUZHwLInUswaM6YDYBQ&ved=0CIcBEOgBMA0#v=onepage&q=VAKOG&f=false
but mainly the book it comes from: "IN YOUR HANDS" NLP in ELT edited by Jane REVELL, Susan NORMAN. I have used some of their ideas in my teaching. Another book recommendation is Handing Over: NLP based activities for language learning by Jane Revell & Susan Norman.
