4. What does it mean to help our students achieve the state of flow through the integration of technology and the multiple intelligences? Describe an experience that you have had, either personally or with your students, when you have experienced this feeling of flow while learning technology.
Flow is when the student is relaxed and engrossed in what they are learning. I refer to this as "zoning out." The student is engrossed to the point where what is going on around them is mute. To integrate technology and MI for student learning you must let them flow in their best MI. If a student learns best through movement then they should try to achieve flow through some kind of movement. Maybe a very visual and moving online game. Technology can be integrated in many different ways with the MI.
Using Excel and Photoshop I have experienced a flow. In learning Excel I had to teach myself and therefore was totally engrossed in the program. I had to learn how to use it in a couple of hours and had to make sure that I was pretty comfortable with it. In Photoshop I achieved flow very quickly and only broke the flow to ask a question. I also achieve flow in many different areas of learning, not just with technology.
