My immediate reaction to the video when it first began, was that I liked the way the teacher had the students close their eyes and imagine things. I think this offered the students not only a chance to visualize things, but also gave them a period of calm to relax, rather than immediate commotion of everyone taking out their books or doing things. I like the use of music as well. I could see myself doing that sort of opening to the class and throughout the class, especially with art.
On the subject of multiple intelligences, I agree completely that there are many types of intelligences, all having their own importance and all being just as valid as the next. We all have our strengths and weaknesses which make up the unique person that we each are. I believe students with high musical intelligence or high bodily-kinesthetic intelligence should be respected just as highly as a student with logical-mathematical intelligence. I also believe that it is important to strengthen ALL forms of intelligence in order to build well-rounded adults.
