Learning Styles Don't Exist

I don't think that the multiple intelligence theory exists. However, I do believe that educators can use the idea of multiple intelligence to come up with new strategies on how to create different learning styles for students to use in the classroom. One size might not fit all, but teachers can't individualize every single lesson plan according to the student. That would be impractical. What teachers can do is practice multiple learning strategies so that students can expand their thinking in multiple ways. The more important thing to think about is that teachers are engaging their students in a wide variety of ways that require them to think critically and deeply about the materials covered in school. Some of these varieties could include social networks, using comments are word processing, graphing, web quests, skits, dances, plays, and Geotracking. These are just a few, many more can be incorporated into the classroom.
