Elizabeth Overview of the Multiple Intelligences

Joseph Bloom's TaxonomyPaula Bloom's Taxonomy Technology PyramidI am assuming everyone is comfortable with the movie making software on their computers to begin. You have Windows Movie Maker on a PC and iMovie on a Mac. If I am wrong, please let me know. Please feel free to ask for help when needed.
Your assignment is to create a vodcast to teach the class about the particular intelligence you have been assigned. To begin, research your intelligence. The internet has plenty of information. I need a definition and skills related to this intelligence, examples of teaching and learning best suited for this intelligence, examples of technology that could be used to address this intelligence. You could also include famous people who represented this kind of intelligence or possible careers suited to this intelligence. As you read and research, also include anything you find interesting that you would like to share.
Once you have gathered you information, create a script. It is helpful to record you voice in sections where you believe you will have a picture change.
Collect photos and/or videos as well as music for your vodcast (a vodcast is really just a super impressive slideshow! ) Or you can be REALLY creative and try a puppet show or use avatars!! Good luck.
When your vodcast is complete, you can post it on your website/blog. If you have used weebly’s free version as I do, you will need to post your vodcast to YouTube and then link the YouTube video to your page. It is very simple to create a YouTube account, but call me if you need help. Please post it to your website/blog no later than Monday, Feb. 20th by midnight. Once your video is posted on your blog, everyone should have access to it using Google Reader. Instead of class on Tues., Feb 21st, we will need to watch and comment on a video from each intelligence. Please do not be late posting your video. everyone is counting on you.
Please remember YouTube will not accept a video with copyrighted materials. If you need help finding music and pictures you can use, please look to the following sites.
Music which is legal to use is available from these sites:

Create a website: We will be creating our own blog and using and RSS feed to stay connected to everyone. First, I would like you to create a website/blog. I suggest using weebly.com to create your website if you do not already have one. (You will need a website or blog that supports video and documents and has an RSS feed. If you already have this with another host, you do not need weebly) Go to
www.weebly.com and create an account and a site. Your site will need a home page, a blog and an About You page. This is a weebly account that is hosting our class website so you may use it as an example. Please email me your new weebly site address when you are finished. (ASAP)
Everyone is at different levels in technology skills. It is my job to meet you at your level and coach you along. If you are unsure, nervous or scared by any assignment, just send me a quick email or text. I will do everything in my power to meet you where you are at and help you along. DO NOT hesitate to ask me to do my job in making you feel comfortable. I will assume you have a certain level of computer skill. If you are not there yet..... I will be there for you!!!
