1. To what learning styles does the lesson you were trying to teach seem to appeal (for instance, shooting baskets might appeal most to Kinesthetic and Interpersonal intelligences)?

I was trying to teach my mom how to use Facebook, because she wants to be able to keep in contact with me being so far away.

2. What disciplines did you draw on to teach the person your lesson (for example, learning to shoot baskets might draw on physics and kinesiology)?

I related Facebook to email, because my mom loves email and understands it.

3. In terms of multiple intelligences, what were the strengths and struggles of the person you were trying to teach? How did this help or hinder your efforts? (for example, did they have an easier time when you described in words? demonstrated visually?)

I had to demonstrate using Facebook visually because when I tried to explain certain terms just vocally, my mom was extremely confused.

4. What evidence did you have that the person had learned the lesson? In what discipline would that evidence "count", and why? (for example, could the person explain/perform/repeat/individualize? would a scientist/english teacher agree that s/he had learned?)

Evidence I have that she learned how to use Facebook was that I gave her a few tasks to complete to see if she could do them. For starters, she had to send me a message via Facebook, and she did.

5. What forms of communication did you and/or your person use in the process (for example, did you use diagrams? demonstrations? step-by-step directions?)?

We used step-by-step intructions because it seemed easiest to teach and for her to understand.
