Personal Theory of Learning

My personal theory on how students learn seems to agree with Howard Gardner's Multiple Intelligence Theory. As an instructor I need to take into consideration the fact that people learn differently. I try to vary the way I present my lessons in order to reach as many of my students as possible.
After finishing this course, the modifications I would make to the way I present materials to my students would be: 1) to create more student centered lessons where the students are the presenters, the "teachers" of the materials and 2) to incorporate some of the web sites that were discussed in this course. Some of the sites such as those that help the students create mind maps can be used for many activities in class. Sites that introduce students to Voice Threads are tools that can be readily used and will be considered entertaining and hands on by the students. These sites are also simple enough to incorporate into lessons without many complications.
As far as incorporating more technology into my lessons , I will continue to have my students use the internet as a learning tool by continuing to have "virtual field trips". I will have to speak to the IT Tech at school to check school district policies on blogging and wikis as they may be restricted as many of the internet sites such as You Tube are blocked by our district.
