The activity in class today about multiple intelligences was very interesting. The video about the school with Smartville in Georgia was a very new and different approach in education that I have never seen before. The act of letting children learn through their own personal style or multiple intelligence was intriguing. It seems as if their students are learning a lot through their own personal intellectual way and comprehending it better. I also enjoyed taking the multiple intelligence test; it gave me an idea about how I learn best. My biggest multiple intelligences are musical, nature, and self-smart. I see this now because I love animals, music, and I study best by myself. But, if we were to incorporate the Smartville idea in a school that didn't teach that way, it seems that the biggest challenge would be having more than one teacher in the classroom to help lead the individual intelligences groups, especially for little children. Other than that, I love the ideas that go with multiple intelligence teaching.

That is a good idea! This would help younger children learn from older children; like a peer leader type of thing.
