Verbal-Linguistic -
These learners have well-developed verbal skills and sensitivity to the sounds, meanings and rhythms of words.
They have highly developed auditory skills and are generally good speakers.
Verbal-linguistic students love words and use them as a primary way of thinking and solving problems. They are good writers, speakers, or both. They use words to persuade, argue, entertain, and/or teach.
http://expectumf.umf.maine.edu/verbal.html
LOGICAL-MATHEMATICAL
"The capacity to use numbers effectively (e.g., as a mathematician, tax accountant, or statistician) and to reason well (e.g., as a scientist, computer programmer, or logician). This intelligence includes sensitivity to logical patterns and relationships, statements and propositions (if-then, cause-effect), functions, and other related abstractions. The kinds of processes used in the service of logical-mathematical intelligence include: categorization, classification, inference, generalization, calculation, and hypothesis testing." (Armstrong 2)
http://expectumf.umf.maine.edu/logical.html
MUSICAL
"The ability to perceive (e.g., as a music aficionado), discriminate (e.g., as a music critic), transform (e.g., as a composer), and express (e.g., as a performer) musical forms. This intelligence includes sensitivity to the rhythm, pitch or melody, and timbre or tone color of a musical piece. One can have a figural or "top-down" understanding of music (global, intuitive), a formal or "bottom-up" understanding (analytic, technical), or both." (Armstrong 3)
Bodily - Kinesthetic"Expertise in using one's whole body to express ideas and feelings and facility in using one's hands to produce or transform things. This intelligence includes specific physical skills such as coordination, balance, dexterity, strenth, flexibility, and speed, as well as proprioceptive, tactile, and haptic capacities." (Armstrong 3)
Trace letters and words on each other's back.
Use magnetic letters, letter blocks, or letters on index cards to spell
words.
Take a walk while discussing a story or gathering ideas for a story.
Make pipe cleaner letters. Form letters out of bread dough. After you shape
your letters, bake them and eat them!
Use your whole arm (extend without bending your elbow) to write letters and
words in the air.
Change the place where you write and use different kinds of tools to write,
ie., typewriter, computer, blackboard, or large pieces of paper.
Write on a mirror with lipstick or soap.
Take a walk and read all the words you find during the walk.
Handle a Koosh ball or a worry stone during a study session.
Take a break and do a cross-lateral walk.

possible other technologies
(1) Today’s Meet ~ A backchannel website that helps you connect with
students in real time. Can be used as a communication tool for collaboration,
exit slips, assessing prior knowledge or understandng of lessons.
(2) Corkboard.me ~ A website that allow students to collaborate in real time with the use of
sticky notes on a board.
(3) Study Blue ~ This app and website provide students with the opportunity to create online flashcards to use as
review. Students can review with the flashcards or take a practice test.
(4) Fotobabble ~ Fotobabble can be used as an app or website to allow students to use photos and a voice recording to demonstrate their understanding of a topic. This works great in math. Students
can work on a problem, take a screen shot of the work, and record the steps they took to solve it.
(5) Sonic Pics and (6) Doodle Buddy ~ This duo is a perfect pair. Students can create and annotate pictures in Doodle Buddy then use those pictures in their Sonic Pics presentation. Students can also add a voice recorder to explain each picture.
(7) Poll Everywhere ~ This is a great digital tool that allow teachers to create multiple choice or open-ended
assessments or surveys. Students can use these assessments or surveys on their Pads, mobile phones, or the computer.
(8) Evernote ~ Evernote is a wonderful free app and website for students to be creative and
stay organized. Evernote provides students with the opportunity to create a digital file of their notes, projects, assignments, and more.
(9) Socrative ~ This fun assessment tool is a smart study response system that allows teachers to assess students in a creative way. A generated report is provided with student responses.
(10) Fakebook ~ A wonderful education form of Facebook. A great site with many possibilities,
collaboration, discussion boards, projects, assignments, parent communication, and more. I have had much success with these digital tools with my students.
I strongly believe the integration of technology in the classroom results in
highly engaging and personalized learning. Students show more pride in their
learning when they can actively participate in it. The iPad is a great digital
tool with many possibilities for motivate and inspire student
learning!

Students possessing this intelligence generally are good in science, especially biology. They love to work outdoors, gardening or taking care of animals and plants. They often stand apart from the crowd, involving themselves in environmental issues. Here are some classroom strategies you can use to reach these students, or to work on "stretching" other students' naturalistic intelligence.
This intelligence refers to a person's natural interest in the environment. These people enjoy being in nature and want to protect it from pollution. Students with strong naturalistic intelligence easily recognize and categorize plants, animals, and rocks.
http://www.literacyworks.org/mi/assessment/cgi-bin/results.cgi ---You are sensitive to nature and environment. You probably know the names of
rocks, flowers, birds, and trees. You love to be outdoors. Here are some ways to
use your nature intelligence in your learning:
Work in the garden.
Read about plants and/or animals.
Study habits of fish or birds.
Read nature magazines.
Go hiking. Take photographs of what you find on your hike. Write a story
describing the photographs.
INTERPERSONAL –
"The ability to perceive and make distinctions in the moods, intentions, motivations, and feelings of other people. this can include sensitivity to facial expressions, voice, and gestures; the capacity for discriminating among many different kinds of interpersonal cues; and the ability to respond effectively to those cues in some pragmatic way (e.g., to influence a group of people to follow a certain line of action)." (Armstrong 3)
http://expectumf.umf.maine.edu/interpersonal.html
http://www.literacyworks.org/mi/assessment/cgi-bin/results.cgi -You like to develop ideas and learn from other people. You like to talk. You have good social skills. Effective techniques of enhancing your learning using your social intelligence include taking part in group discussions or discussing a topic one-to-one with another person. Find ways to build reading and writing exercises into your group activities, such as:
Students strong in interpersonal intelligence have a natural ability to interact with, relate to, and get along with others effectively. They are good leaders. They use their insights about others to negotiate, persuade, and obtain information. They like to interact with others and usually have lots of friends.

INTRAPERSONAL
"Self-knowledge and the ability to act adaptively on the basis of that knowledge. This intelligence includes having an accurate picture of oneself (one's strengths and limitations); awareness of inner moods, intentions, motivations, temperaments, and desires; and the capacity for self-discipline, self-understanding, and self-esteem." (Armstrong 3)
People with a strong intrapersonal intelligence have a deep awareness of their feelings, ideas, and goals. Students with this intelligence usually need time alone to process and create.
http://www.literacyworks.org/mi/assessment/cgi-bin/results.cgi --You have a very good sense of self. You like to spend time by yourself and think
things over. You will often take in information from another person, mull it
over by yourself, and come back to that person later to discuss it. You like
working on projects on your own. You often prefer to learn by trial and error.
Effective techniques to enhance your learning include keeping a journal and
giving yourself time to reflect on new ideas and information.

- TimeToast
Free, publishable, interactive timelines that allow both text and images. These can also be embedded within websites and blogs for further publishing options. Timelines can be viewed in the interactive format or in a text-only format for easy printing.
Ex: History of Voting Rights - TimeGlider
Insert images and links for each event that are interactive and labeled by category. Interface is very visually appealing, but free account is limited to three timelines max.
Ex: History of Idaho - Tiki-Toki
Free, interactive timeline that allows you to set the background, color-code content, embed images, links and videos directly from YouTube and Vimeo. Unfortunately, the free account only allows one timeline, but this is the only timeline maker I’ve found that let’s you create timelines in an awesome, 3D space!
Ex: Tower of London - Dipity
Free, easy-to-use timeline creator that allows you to create, share, embed and collaborate on interactive, visually engaging timelines that integrate video, audio, images, text, links, social media, location and timestamps.
Ex: Internet Memes Timeline
