Motivation and M.I

Learning and mutiple intelligence
I've always found it easier to learn through hands-on activities and through music. Upon taking the multiple intelligence test I found out my strengths are kinesthetic and musical. Although taking the m.i. test helped to confirm my personal intelligences I also found it helpful in putting other intelligences in perspective. Through this test I learned everyone thinks differently and my future students will come to my class with a variety of intelligences.

Motivation
Growing up I never realized I had such intelligences; however I did know I was easily motivated. Through interinsic motivation I would encourage myself. I knew what I had to do and did the task. I was never a student who needed a loud hooray or clapping of hands. I was happy to get the teacher's approval through a pat on the back or a simple smile. Every now and then to recieve a sticker or a stamp added to my interinsic motivation.
