GEN 105 Week 8

CheckPoint: Multiple Intelligences

Due Date: Day 3 [Individual] forum

Conduct research online regarding the strongest of your multiple intelligences. Find three Web sites which accurately describe that intelligence. If you identified more than one dominant intelligence, choose only one for your research. Note that your classmates will be reviewing your responses in Discussion Question 2, so make sure that your answers are complete.

Post the following information:

o Links to the three Web sites that describe the intelligence

o A 50-word description, written by you, of your strongest intelligence

o A 50-word summary describing how each site either reinforced or contradicted something about yourself

Discussion Questions

How can you use the study techniques recommended for your personality type and strongest intelligence(s) to function best in a distance learning environment? Which techniques can you use to improve less developed personality areas or intelligences?

What learning similarities and differences are apparent in the different CheckPoint responses? What is the importance of knowing your personal learning strengths in addition to those of your classmates? How can this knowledge be beneficial to collaborative work completed in an online learning environment?
