Howard Gardner's Multiple Intelligences

As I said in the last post, I was first introduced to Howard Gardner's Multiple Intelligences (although the existential one is new since then) during my sophomore year of college. My professor Dr. Daniels thought that Gardner was the greatest thing since sliced bread, and as it was a technology in education class along with the short biography that we wrote on Gardner we were given an activity to incorporate technology into a lesson plan using a few of the MI's. My group consisting of my friends Logan and Christine decided to create a lesson plan for history on the 60's decade. In our lesson we used clips from the movie The 60's with Julia Stiles, had the students create a Powerpoint of the 60's along with either writing a story about three icons from the 60's or performing a short skit.
