Aid Spatial Intelligence In Your Class: Make A Digital Collage

I came across this resourceful article about creating digital collages in the classroom at technokids.com and I thought how beautifully this idea can promote spatial intelligence, one of the neglected intelligences as we move up towards higher school grades. If we wish to implement Gardner’s theory in our classroom and enhance the opportunities for our students’ competences,  creative ways of teaching and learning should be tried.

So, next time there is a project, consider suggesting a digital collage, too.
