I got my info from wikipedia and simplypsychology.org

What is the PURPOSE of education at that time?

What was the CURRICULUM and methods of INSTRUCTION used to reach the purpose?

What was the ROLE of the STUDENT and of the TEACHER?

[|Lest's Start a Learning Revolution] This video is not about the teaching in school in particular but I do think it works. We've talked a lot about how many times schools teach for students to go to college. This video also talks about how there are many different paths to take and we need to quit taking the straight and narrow path. I think this applies to the article because it talks about how things we do are so old and we stick with them because it is what we know. It needs to change so the students are more apt to learning. // Yes, the video did have some interesting points about higher level thinking and changing the way we think about education. Kind of discouraging about those college loans, huh? And that students are getting jobs that have nothing to do with their earned degrees. Hope that changes! Prof. N. //

[|Multiple Intelligences in the Classroom] I think this link because it goes along very well with the handouts we rerecieved. It even talks about the teacher Campell in this article. It talks about how as a teacher you do things with the students not for the students. This site also goes into the four factors in the education reform.

// I liked the added information on the "work centers" to build around each intelligence. It was interesting that two are more dominant: verbal and mathematical. Strangely enough, these are basic Essentialism skills. I agree with the article that the others need to be reinforced to encourage more success. //

[|Richard Hale School using Multiple Intelligences] This short video shows how this school has utilized what the childs intelligence is for their learning. I really like the fact that under the type of intelligence it said a discription such as picture smart. Each one had smart on it because everyone is smart in their own way. It talked about how even their lessons could be tailored for their individual learning style. This may mean more work but it will help keep the children's attention and let the children want to be more actively involved. We talked in our class before that we feel as though it is easier to share in small groups and when they are broke up in those smaller groups with these like factors I feel as though it would be easier for them to communicate and expand their learning. // It was interesting to see the visual/cards at each table, and how the students seemed at ease talking about their own unique styles! //
