**Activity:** When have you been tutored? Or coached? Or taught something by someone? Groups of 3 discuss this question→ whole group calls out tutoring lists to 3 folks at the board or groups write on the boards the list they make.

Today what do you do if you want to learn how to do something or learn about something? We use youtube, pinterest, images and videos to tutor ourselves virtually and tutor our friends.

**Presentation:** //** Showing the multimodal wiki pages to explain why the focus for learning is multimodal--auditory, visual, text to appeal to many different learning styles and **////** organized in sections so people can do one at a time and return later to another. **//

Introduce the Wiki as a Tech book, wiki = rapid, multimedia, which is why we do not need a text book .

<span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: 'Open Sans',sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">**[|Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor, My Wonderful World, NPR]** <span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: 'Open Sans',sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">**If we seek tutoring or take lessons we increase our skills. Avoiding or ignoring guarantees that we will experience no change in present conditions and attitudes.**

<span style="font-family: 'Open Sans',sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">**Take Away**
 * We are, each of us, a combination of multiple intelligences that are malleable or changeable by what we do for ourselves and our learning.
 * Practice and tutoring are necessary to gain skill; each of us can strengthen any of our skills this way.

 * Multiple Intelligence Survey, filling out, comparing with others to find one that most closely matches yours. **

<span style="font-family: 'Open Sans',sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">**Take Away**
 * Our ways of processing information are unique, like our fingerprints.
 * As unique learners we benefit from those tutors/teachers who use different ways to think, explain, picture, connect ideas instead of using one way for all.
