MI project

My biggest strength according to the quiz I took on multiple intelligences was my interpersonal intelligence. I scored 8/10 on it whereas the rest of my scores hovered around 40-60.
According to the surfaquarium website, the core characteristics of this are Affective awareness, ethical awareness, self-regulation and metacognition. That is, being aware of people’s feelings, knowing my principles, being aware of myself and being aware of my own thoughts. For me personally, I am really into metacognition, affective awareness and ethical awareness. I am a little less into self regulation.
As for students who are interpersonal, they are generally very comfortable with who they are and what they like. They know their strengths and weaknesses and the often have a strong sense of justice and fairness. In the classroom this can be supported by differentiating instruction, allowing time for reflection, self-assessment and allowing the students to have some choices. With technology specifically, this intelligence can be supported with things like journals, surveys, real time projects and self-assessments.
I can effectively impact people with all sorts of learning styles by first observing what sort of styles or intelligence they have and then using various online resources to investigate effective ways to teach to their styles. Also, a very important component of teaching is making sure that you are taking advantage of using multiple way of presenting information so that it is easier for all people to comprehend the lessons you are presenting.
