Use the self-scoring Learning Styles Assessment and Multiple Intelligences Inventory to determine student learning styles as you begin your unit on study skills or psychology. Students can complete both forms on paper and use the accompanying scoring page to determine their "learning style" and multiple intelligence strengths. Psychology or guidance classes or learning support teachers may want to explore other aspects of tutorial as well.

tag(s): learning styles (22), psychology (60)

In the Classroom

Any teacher may want to use the site as a lead-in to the school year to help students develop stronger study skills. Have students complete the self-assessment then find their "match" for peer tutoring. Inspire student project ideas and options from the multiple intelligence information. Consider having students a clas wiki presenting the same curriculum content via various different "intelligence" channels.
 This resource requires PDF reader software like Adobe Acrobat.

Comments

I had my sixth graders do this inventory as we started the school year. It helped them find "study buddies" for study hall times at school. This eased their adjustment to middle school and the heavier homework load. Thinking, PA, Grades: 5 - 10

tag(s): charactered (86), Project Based Learning (28), service projects (17)

In the Classroom

Do you believe that kids can change the world? What are you doing about that? If you have been thinking about involving your class in some type of community service and project based learning, but need some direction, DoSomething.org is a phenomenal place to "shop" around for ideas. Perhaps you may want to start by showing the film, Pay It Forward, or with a writing prompt, "If you were given time in school to come up with one idea that could be put into action right now by people your age that would make this school or this community a better place, what would it be and how would you put your plan into action?" Have students share ideas in small groups, then introduce them to DoSomething.org by projecting it on your classroom whiteboard or projector, viewing some of the short videos, and using the power of the internet to empower them to act now. Challenge students to collect Internet resources for their cause using Wakelet, reviewed here, where they can add a cover image, background, collaborate with others, and chose the layout they prefer. Next, enhance learning by asking your students to create an interactive infographic using Canva Infographic Maker, reviewed here, to explain their ideas about their cause and how they would put their plan into action. Club advisers, school counselors, and teachers of gifted can use the empowering resources of this site to inspire students to ACT.

The Institute for Community Inclusion (ICI), hosted at UMass Boston, is a leading organization focused on promoting full participation and equity for individuals with disabilities. It supports schools, agencies, families, and communities through research, program evaluation, training, consultation, policy analysis, and service delivery across four key domains: education, employment, community life, and health care. The site highlights national initiatives such as ThinkCollege (inclusive higher education), ThinkWork (employment for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities), and ExploreVR, along with projects and resources designed to help students with disabilities prepare for life after K-12 schooling, especially in postsecondary education, competitive employment, and community engagement. It also offers professional development opportunities, consultancy services, publications, data, and evidence-based tools that inform policy, program design, and instructional strategies, making it a valuable resource for teachers seeking to strengthen inclusive education and transitions while connecting research to classroom and community impact.

tag(s): disabilities (37), Special Needs (46), speech (66)

In the Classroom

Use ICI's research and tools to guide individualized transition plans for students with disabilities, helping them prepare for postsecondary education, job readiness, and independent living.

Share ICI resources with families to help them understand and advocate for their child's options after high school, while building stronger connections between school, home, and community agencies.

Here you will find a quick and interesting learning styles quiz for your students to take. You don't need to sign in. No email address or registration is required. Once you've found your dominate style there is a description, and, best of all, tips for the best way for you to learn. Some of the learning styles also include possible career choices.

tag(s): learning styles (22), multiple intelligences (7)

In the Classroom

Have your students open a word document and save it. Then have them take the quiz, without signing up. Use the "Print Screen" feature on the computer to have the students copy their test. They can then paste it in their word document. Next have them look to see what is their most dominate style, and have them copy and paste the description for that style first, then their next dominate and so on. Not only can your students use this when trying to figure out final projects for assessments, but if they are having trouble with tests, they can look and see what might help them when it comes to study time. You can also use the results to group students or for them to select a "study buddy" before tests! Many of the styles include possible careers for students to pursue.

icould.com is a career exploration website, built with the look and feel of a social networking site. The interface is modern and will appeal to students who appreciate a multimedia approach to learning. There is a database of videos about various careers, a career survey (which requires registration and login to get the results), and a whole collection of stories about career exploration. You can also access podcasts about careers here, and post comments and read others' posts.

While the site may be useful as one of several career exploration sites, be aware that it includes social networking features with user-generated content; preview carefully before deciding whether to bookmark this site or recommend it to students.

tag(s): careers (184)

In the Classroom

Students who have questions about specific careers will find information here that could help them sort out their choices. Consider providing this link on your class website for students to explore.

MovieSheets is a searchable database of teacher-created worksheets designed to accompany movies used in the classroom. In addition to browsing by title, teachers can filter worksheets by subject area, grade level, and skills, making it easier to find materials that align with instructional goals. The site offers worksheets in both PDF and Word formats, allowing teachers to edit and customize questions as needed. Because resources are user-submitted, all materials should be previewed carefully for quality, appropriateness, and classroom fit. Teachers should also follow district and school guidelines regarding movie use, including licensing and content considerations. MovieSheets works best as a supplement to instruction, providing structured discussion and reflection, while still pairing films with interactive, thought-provoking activities beyond the worksheets themselves.
This site includes advertising.

tag(s): business (49), climate (95), geology (61), holidays (280), movies (52)

In the Classroom

Use the worksheets to get students thinking about the science (or math, or other subjects) beyond these videos. Encourage students to create their own questions from the movie (reminding them of its relevance to your subject area), choose the best worksheets to use, and submit them. Require students to add thought-provoking questions tied to the content for further consideration. Use questions that go beyond factual recall to tie concepts together, explain phenomena, or uncover misconceptions. Continue the discussion of concepts beyond the paper through open discussion or blog posts. Rather than creating a worksheet, have your students create an interactive online poster using Genially, reviewed here.
