Spatial intelligence involves the potential to recognize and use the patterns of wide space and more confined areas. Using Technology to Teach the Multiple Intelligences: Spatial There are many activities students can perform in conjuction with basic programs almost any computer has to develop and exercise spatial intelligence. Draw and paint programs are prime examples. Have them use these programs for activities like making classroom maps to visualize different furniture arrangements, or try these approaches: A "stimulated imaginative approach:" have students begin with an outline or stencil of a theme or an object, on their paint program, and encourage them to fill it in and add background to give it meaning, depth, and other important qualities. OR... "Observation drawing," where students draw an object using pencil and paper first, then transfer the image to a draw or paint program somehow, either by trying to draw it again, or using a scanner and then playing with the image to change its design. These activities will be excellent for developing this intelligence, and also for providing an outlet for students who have an amount of spatial intelligence already.
