Chapter 8: MI Theory and Classroom Management

This chapter addresses how the multiple intelligences should be considered during classroom management. It describes how some students might not respond to a certain type of discipline because they are tuned into a different type of intelligence. The chapter does a good job giving ideas for transitions and steps to get the students attention but I question whether or not the methods would work with modern day high school students. The idea of it is valid though and it is up to me to fine tune the methods to cater to the students I will have in my class. Using current music or some more advanced adaptation to the telephone game, like a text message or instant message. I think having strategies to get the students back on track is important but there are probably many new technologies out there that can help me do this.
