Summary:

Overview & Objectives
The learner will construct an original unit that addresses all the intelligences and identifies essential questions and enduring assessments upon which the unit will be built. Special attention will be given to mapping technologies to intelligences and objectives and ultimately to developing authentic assessment tasks that accommodate each of the intelligences. The result will be a unit that meets the various needs of learners in a classroom setting.

Outline
• Immersion in each of the intelligences (45 minutes)
• Web-based activities designed to explore each intelligence
• Exploration of the instructional implications for each intelligence (45 minutes)
• Small-group collaboration to emphasize the characteristics of each intelligence
• Presentation of the unit format (15 minutes)
• Presenter walks the group through the digital unit template
• Identification of concept, enduring ideas, and essential questions for the unit (45 minutes)
• Participants work to identify each component within the digital template provided
• Mapping unit activities by intelligence (60 minutes)
• Participants brainstorm unit activities using online resources
• Harvesting Web-based resources and identifying software titles by intelligence (60 minutes)
• Participants create annotated lists of Web sites and software that can be used in their units.
• Generation of authentic tasks by intelligence (60 minutes)
• Participants develop tasks consistent with their unit activities to demonstrate unit learning.
• Identification of culminating event to showcase authentic tasks (30 minutes)
• Participants identify a culminating event that will bring together student work from across the unit.

ISTE NETS
The use of multiple intelligences in designing technology-based units will address all the NETS except basic technology user skills and administrator management tools. This workshop will encourage participants to use digital productivity tools to create meaningful units of instruction that integrate technology to promote learning and accept the abilities and contributions of all students.

Prerequisites
No prerequisite skills are necessary. All participant can build on their current levels of proficiency and share their background and skills with one another.

Presenter Information
I published Multiple Intelligences and Instructional Technology: A Manual for Every Mind (ISTE, 2002), which provides the theoretical framework for this unit-building session. You can view my resume at http://surfaquarium.com/resume.htm.
