E learning

I am sharing my views on e-learning. I feel that E-learning is really helpful to students as it prepares them for emergency situations in which people are not allowed to leave home, then we are forced to ave our lessons at home.
Although i think that E-learning is not exactly perfect, in fact far from it. The students acctually learn less yet do more work, in my opinion as they only get their answers from the net, and some just copy and paste mindlessly

LA task

My two highest MI scores are naturalist and intrapersonal(kinestatic not included in questions)
Naturalist
a) Do a research on the natural habitat of mockingbird. In your research, include the kind of flora and fauna you think exist in Maycomb and explain why the mockingbirds live in Maycomb.
The Northern Mocking bird is found in areas with open ground and shrubby vegetation like hedges , fruiting bushes, and thickets.Common places to find northern mockingbirds include parkland, cultivated land, suburban areas in second growth habitat at low elevations
They are named mockingbird, due to their ability to mimic the calls of dozens of bird species.They are also very comfortable around people and only sing songs.
They can live in maycomb peacefully as the people in maycomb enjoy having these birds sing for them and do not disturb their peace.Maycomb also satisfy the habitat conditions of these birds.Thus maycomb a suitable place for mockingbirds to live.

Intrapersonal
a)
I would like to be friends with Jem.Among the children, Jem matured the most in the story. He also has other good qualities such as sticking up for is friends(when Scout got scolded by aunt alexandra) and caring for his friends(When he invited Walter home for dinner) He is also brave(daring to read to Mrs Dubose) and smart(he understood the evidence presented in the court,even though Atticus did not say what it meant).


LA task

I feel that the multiple intelligence test's concept is very good but i feel it is extremely unreliable as if there are many instances that the results are wrong
1)if the person intentionally changes his answer to increase his score
2)If the person unintentionally clicks the wrong option(This happens very often:You click on one option thinking about something,but u forgot about another thing that may affect the answer[in other words,you answer from one single event not considering the other events that you may have forgotten])
3)If you don't really know which choice you belong to and you guess(It may be wrong)
Even (2) alone is enough affect everybody,as it is impossible to remember everything you have done and felt.Therefore,I feel although the multiple intelligence test has a sound concept but it is largely unreliable.
