MI: Chapter 3

This chapter did a great job at explaining exactly how a teacher can discover how each individual student learns best. I really liked in the beginning of the chapter how it suggested paying attention to how a student may misbehave in a class to understand how they learn. I never thought of using the way a student may misbehave to my benefit, but I think it is a really great idea. Also all the other ways the chapter suggested as using to decipher a childs multiple intelligences I found to be very interesting because the teachers themselves have to use their own multiple intelligences to pick up on the kids multiple intelligence. One way was to take a photo of the student when they do something good, which is visual, and others were to talk to the parents or students themselves which is social. I plan on keeping these methods in mind when in my own classroom because I know they will be very helpful in discovering all my students different learning styles such as trying to design my course material around each individual multiple intelligence and taking note as to which students do best in each one.
