Chapter 13: MI Theory in Other Applications

This chapter explains that multiple intelligences are not a classroom only concept; instead there are areas in the real world that the different intelligences apply. The example that stuck out to me the most is the cultural influences of multiple intelligences. I think the reason that this struck me as important is that I know students will move into my classroom that are not from small town Maine and I will need to be able to accurately assess who the student is and how they learn. Their culture will play a huge part of that. Another area the intelligences are prevalent is computer technology. With the technology advancing as quickly as it is, there is not going to be any excuse for not knowing how technology can help all of my students, no matter what type of learner they are.
