=**Learning through the body**=

=Technology and Multiple Intelligences - Bodily/Kinesthetic= These "body smart" people learn best through physical activity such as dance, hands-on tasks, constructing models, and any kind of movement. They are able to manipulate and control objects, as well as express their ideas through movement. Give these students a video camera and let them record their movement such as a wood working activity or a skit. Add other intelligences such as taking still pictures and writing about the steps in the process.


 * Roles**: They like to create and move around. Get them involved with gathering and organizing physical materials, keyboarding, acting out roles, or manipulating objects. They would like to run the camera, operate the mouse, or take the pictures.
