Learning Styles **Here is my summary about the Multiple Intelligences.**

In the video Peggy O'Donohue created multiple hands on activities for her students to do. Most of her students are hands on learners, but there are some that are more visual. She separates her groups differently every activity so that each group has students with different strengths, which is reffered to as invisible grouping. After she figured out what type of learner each child is she bases her activities around the needs of the students. There are different types of levels for each students rate of learning, the lower level is figuring out the simple part of the problem whereas the higher level, the kids are coming up with a way to find the answer; synthesis level. When your a teacher you have to study each student and figure out ways to help everyone understand the lesson.
