Existential - Awareness Smart
These learners like to think about problems on a bigger scale than most. They enjoy and ask for community service opportunities. Similar to intrapersonal learners, existential learners have a strong understanding of their beliefs and abilities.
To develop existential skills in the classroom, students should be given the opportunity to work towards a cause or lead a charity.
Technology Applications and Tools that Assist this type of learning include:
- EduBlogs: Students can reflect on topics or questions posed by the class and respond in their own time
- Penzu: Online journal in which students can keep track of their daily experiences and thoughts
- Raz-Kids: An example of a reading program that shows a reader's progress. It's important for interpersonal learners to recognize areas of self growth
- Animoto: Tools such as Animoto allows students to create their own reflective photo videos
Other helpful classroom activities include:
- Debates: Have the students research and present their own or a different set of beliefs about a topic
- Charity work: Give students the opportunity to choose a charity of their choice and raise money to help fund
- Working on important causes: Students can pick an important global cause and help inform others about it through speeches and presentations
