INTELLIGENCES
How Gaming Helps Young Minds Grow Problem Solving Teachers have used gaming in their classrooms for many years to teach concepts in the curriculum. Students work harder to learn concepts when they are at play, so what appears to be play can be a powerful Infinite learning experience! Getting in Shape Games that involve physical activity include things such as sports, dance, martial arts, etc.
Howard Gardener’s Multiple Intelligences
Research shows that these types of games can improve players’ stress levels, weight management, health and fitness.
Howard Gardener believes that people have multiple intelligences. Two of the most commonly used intelligences taught in school are verbal-linguistic and mathematical intelligences. Often, students learn differently from one another and need to develop their particular intelligences. Visual/spatial problem solving is visualizing an object in space and from different angles. Students strong in this intelligence will be strong in art as a medium for communication. Bodily-kinesthetic thinkers have a keen sense of body awareness, movement, and making things. They enjoy physical hands-on learning. Musical students show sensitivity to rhythm and sound. Interpersonal students love interacting with others. They can be taught through group activities, video chats, conferences, e-mail, etc.

Let’s Rock! Making Music with GarageBand This part of the project takes some organization on the part of the teachers involved! There will be 18 classes involved with this project. Each week you will need to submit one track done in GarageBand to the ROW iDisk. Every song will be limited to 30 seconds (or 15 measures) in length. Please try to stay within this time boundary so that all the pieces of the song can work together. Every Friday, beginning September 25th, you will have something due to send to another class. It will be very important that this is done on time, as many other classes around the world are counting on you. Here’s the schedule for our GarageBand tracks...

The first week you’ll open a new GarageBand project and create a 15 measure drum track. When you are finished, save the file using the name found on the chart for your class (located on the next few pages). Then, upload your file to the ROW iDisk into the appropriate Group folder. To get to the iDisk, from the Finder (desktop) on your Mac, click on Go and choose iDisk. From there choose “Other user’s public folder”. In the window that opens, type in rockourworld. In the next window, leave public in the first text box and type in the password, rockon. This will connect you to our ROW folder. Please drag your finished GB tracks into the folder marked for your class. From now on, each week you’ll save the file you work on into the folder of the class that started that file. Just follow the chart for your class found on the next few pages. It seems confusing at first, but you’ll get the idea after a week or so.
