Gardner's Multiple Intelligences

As someone who learns very differently than most people, I think that studying Gardner's multiple intelligences is very important to be a good teacher. I had a lot of trouble growing up learning in the classroom, because I like to learn by reading and then asking questions. In elementary school and throughout high school this was not the method that teachers used. In my classroom, I plan on incorporating many of these intelligences so that each student has a fair chance to succeed.
One way that I plan on doing this is by using technology in my classroom. Computers are an amazing way to have students play games to learn, and have fun doing it. This is the bodily-kinesthetic approach to learning. I am also going to use technology by playing music. I think that remembering songs and listening to things is another good way to learn. These are just a few of the methods I have thought of and will use in my classroom to tie together Gardner's multiple intelligences and technology.
