Chapter 12 Review

Abstract:
- Kids could be good at remembering faces, but not names. It has to do with the level of growth.
- Have to teach within the intelligences in order for students to be engaged and active learners.
- People have used their intelligences to remember something labelled as another intelligence many times.
- Stretch students minds. Really make them think. Help them realize that the world is complicated. Real life use of multiple intelligence teaching. Students will remember real life situations better than learning something they think they will never use.

Reflection:
Our group agreed with this chapter, however didn't' understand it as well as past chapters. The point we all agreed on was that it says to use multiple intelligences so students remember the content, and then the teacher needs to help guide the students to deeper learning and understanding. It's not effective for students to remember facts and just regurgitate them back. That is not learning at all because the students will forget in a matter of days. Brian states that it's important for both teacher and student to really dig down.
