How are students "smart" in different ways? How can teachers use multiple intelligences in the classroom?
Students are "smart" in different ways, in that they all learn differently. One student can learn very well visually, but his friend sitting next to him learns best orally. I find this to be a rather difficult task when I'm teaching sometimes, especially since a student won't raise their hand and say "Ms. Bracco, I'm an visual learning, can you go over that again?" or "Ms. Bracco, I don't understand the drawings, I'm more of an oral learner". A way that a teacher can use multiple intelligences in the classroom is by having students with different styles of learning sit together. This way, every student is introduced to someone else's way of learning, and it allows them to see another way of coming to the same conclusion.
