Gardner's eight frames of mind

In this blog I wanted to talk about Gardner's eight frames of mind. The eight different frames are: verbal, mathmatical, Spatial, Bodily-kinesthetic, musical, intrapersonal and naturalist. This is a very good example of the different types of skills different people have. All of these different types of mind frames are very important to everyday life. We need people of each different mind frame to make our world make. We need people with good verbal skills to help communicate with each other, we need people with good naturalist skills so we know how to take of the environament, and grow our food.
Each one of these is very important to our world. It is important that we have this diversity in our world, but it is also one thing that makes teaching a very tough job. Because every one is different we cannot teach everyone the same. So as teachers we will have to learn to teach to these different mind frames in order to be successful. This makes things challenging for teachers, but I also think that this is one thing that makes teaching fun because you get to interact with all different types of kids and that keeps things interesting when teaching.
