They do not show interest on the same topic rather individuals have individual choices. These factors motivated her to facilitate a webinar on multiple intelligence. People can easily browse from interned and be conscious about their intelligence capabilities.

-the agenda of the webinar are as follows
a. Introduction to multiple intelligence (Picture smart)

c. How to tell? (Self)
d. MI points (Word smart)
e. Discipline Exercise (Music, People)
f. More MI takeways (Word)
g. Concepts, brainstorming (people, natural)
h. Question? (Logic)
i. Closing and evaluation

-Spacial- show them different pictures, PPT’s and related VDO of the topic.
-Bodily Kinesthetic- engage then in the practical application of the theoretical knowledge.
-Musical- show them different acoustic nature of different instruments and how it is related to mathematical calculation, waves, sounds etc.
-Interpersonal- give them group project, preparing model or engage them in debate sometimes.

Based on the last story of the webinar what do you think we should do in terms of teaching in the classroom and why?
All the students are intelligent in those eight categories mentioned in the webinar. A teacher needts to plan regularly according to the intelligence level of his students. The teacher can make a chart or himself and categories his total students according to their intelligence level. Moreover the teacher need to consider the dominant learning styles (auditory, visual and kinesthetic).
The main aim of the teacher is to make his students understand the topics properly so that the basic of the lessons the student can recall anytime and apply them in their future classes or applications.
According to my opinion, a teacher can take the following steps which might be helpful for his students with different intelligence-
1.
Giving Crossword puzzles, lecturing by the students themselves (linguistics)
2.
mathematical riddles of different difficulty levels, logical interpretative case studies (logical)
3.
showing charts, graphs, diagrams, making posters, illustrations, PPTs (sptatial)
4.
demonstrating practical measurements, realistic calculations from the resources available (bodily/kinesthetic)
5.
Sometimes give the students writing task on lyric and musical instruments, occasionally playing soothing music and ask the students to sing or play an musical device (musical)
6.
Arranging debate workshops, preparing models, posters, decorative works (interpersonal)
7.
giving home assignments (intrapersonal)
8.
Ask the student to collect sample from nature, arranging field trip (naturalistic, kinesthetic).
