KostMultipleIntelligences-Teachingsomeone

I attempted to teach my dad to use the internet on my laptop.

--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)? -In terms of actually using the computer appealed to Logical/Mathematical, while I believe (a slight stretch) that using the laptop mousepad requires some use of the Spatial intelligence. It is not exactly a large pad, so to be able to move your finger repeatedly over it to get the mouse where he wanted it used that intelligence. --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? -His strength while trying to teach him was the Spatial intelligence (he was able to move the mouse quite well for never using a laptop before). That helped because I didn't need to walk him through that slowly like I've seen others do. His struggle was the Logical/Mathematical aspect. He has rarely used a computer, never a laptop. He didn't understand where he had to click to access the internet so that threw a wrench in my plan, but once he did he couldn't figure out how to access the address bar to get to Google. Once I got him past that hurdle, it was smooth sailing from there. He typed in online poker to find a website where he could play Texas Hold'em for free (I of course made sure it was a legitimate website as it is my laptop). --What evidence did you have that the person had learned the lesson? In terms of multiple intelligences, what form(s) did that evidence take? -The evidence I had that he learned the lesson was that he was able to get on to the poker website without me helping him. The only multiple intelligence that evidence took form of was Logical/Mathematical, at least from my point of view.
