Teaching my mom how to make a Facebook.- Angelina Shadwick

.


 * 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 believe Style 6-Interpersonal appealed most to the topic I was teaching my mother. Interpersonal has a lot to do with communication and while teaching my mother this lesson it took a lot of communication and discussion. Facebook is also a very organized website so in order to teach someone how to used it you have teach them step by step.

While teaching my mother how to make a Facebook I used a lot of technology. Facebook is on the computer therefore she has to know how to work the computer in order to make the Facebook.
 * 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)?**

My mom did very well when I actually pointed the tasks out to her and explained them to her step by step. She needed more directions verbally then me just doing it for her. She struggled when I would talk to fast or just take control because she could not learn how to do it from me physically showing her. This made me realize that she wasn’t going to fully understand if I kept doing the work so I described it to her in different terms.
 * 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?)**


 * 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?)**

I believe my mom learned the lesson and actually knows how to run a Facebook because she was able to recite the steps back to me after I told her them. She also was able to go into the Facebook later on in the day without help.

The forms of communication we used were mostly step by step directions. I would tell her what to do and she would complete that step. I also would use some demonstrations but I believed that she learned more with the step by step directions therefore I used that more frequently.
 * 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?)?**
