--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 taught my mom how to use Facebook. I was teaching her a linguistic intelligence because facebook allows you to express how you are feeling at any given moment. Another intelligence I was trying to teach is spatial because you can post pictures and put captions under them to bring them to life.  --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?  My mom’s strengths involved her already knowing how to operate a computer. She struggled with trying to figure out where to type her thoughts and where it could be seen by either one person or by all of her friends. This helped because she knows how to get to it. It didn’t help because there is a lot to facebook and there are so many things to learn and if she didn’t know something simple, it will be tougher to teach her more things in greater detail.

 --What evidence did you have that the person had learned the lesson? In terms of multiple intelligences, what form(s) did that evidence take?  My mom learned how to write out her thoughts and have everyone see it, which was the linguistic intelligence. She also learned that her weaknesses would give her a hard time for a while and she wouldn’t be able to totally express herself, which falls under the intrapersonal intelligence
