MI+B2+Chapter+13

Abstract
This chapter talked about the different ways that MI can be used in education. The computer can be incorporated into eduction by using different software that appeals to various MIs like flash software or work processing. Another thing in this chapter that was talked about is how all cultures have the MIs. Each culture puts a different value on specific MIs, making unique abilities important. The last one i using MIs to figure out a possible career path. You can take a test and it will outline what your strongest MI is and what jobs are generally associated with that prominent MI.

Synthesis
Every one in this chapter talked about two of the usages of MIs in the classroom. These were with computers, in different cultures, and career councling. A lot of people gave examples of how they used [|technology] or a computer to relate their work to real life. Another thing that was mentioned often was that teachers or guidance councilors were pushing them to use their prominent MI to choose a [|career]. This can be a good thing or a bad thing. Good because it can help you know what could possibly be a match for you, but it could also hinder you into thinking that those are your only options.

Chapter 13: Other Applications of MI Theory There are many other ways that MI can be applied to education besides the ones that have previously been discussed. It can be applied to computer technology, cultural diversity and career counseling. When it comes to computer technology, the internet can provide great opportunities for all of the intelligences. I think I would use the internet the most in my classroom. Besides technology, MI can be used to discuss and understand different cultures. All cultures have and use the eight intelligences, it just so happens that some cultures value some intelligences more than others. Using the intelligences would be a great way to start a conversation on cultures and to highlight the importance of diversity. Lastly, it would be helpful to bring MI into the discussion of future careers at the secondary level. At this level the students are seriously beginning to think of what their career path in life might be. MI can help give them a glance at what they to do and what they are good at.

Chapter 13: Other Applications of MI Theory The three major applications mentioned in this chapter were computer technology, cultural diversity, and career counseling. Computers can be used for all eight intelligences. There are writing programs, painting programs, music programs, and even math practice programs. The internet also provides activities and programs to use. I remember using math programs during middle school to practice real world problems, and I think it was a great way to use computers for math. Cultural diversity can be celebrated using the Multiple Intelligence theory and students can learn which cultures value which intelligences more. This is a great way to give importance to all of the intelligences. I will want all of my students to be proud of their strengths and eager to build upon their intelligences. If students have a sense of their strengths, they will be able to think about which jobs they would enjoy. The MI theory is great for career counseling because it allows students to relate to the real world and see how they can apply their intelligences.

//Chapter Thirteen: Other Applications of MI Theory// This chapter explained how MI Theory can be used in other aspects of the classroom. It focused on computer technology, cultural diversity, and career counseling. Computer technology is important because there are so many different kinds of programs that can be used to complement different intelligences. Every culture places different values on different aspects, so it’d be interesting to have students study different cultures and see which intelligences are valued differently or more within that culture. Also, with career counseling, it’s important for students to see all the different ways multiple intelligences can be applied in the work force. This impacted me because these are all things that I have personally seen in a classroom throughout my academic career. Mostly with computer technology. Technology has become such a huge aspect of education in this day and age that it’s almost rare that technology isn’t being used in a classroom. In my classroom, I will be doing a lot of technology integration because that is what the kids already know and like. I’ll also be sure to incorporate the MI theory into every aspect of technology use, as well as within career counseling and looking at other cultures.

Chapter 13: Other Applications of MI Theory This chapter addressed some of the ways that MI theory can be used that extended beyond the actual classroom. Computer technology, cultural diversity, and career counseling are three branches of education that can extend beyond the classroom and which MI theory can apply to. When thinking of computers, most people would associate them with logical/linguistic intelligences when in fact they are fairly “intelligence-neutral” (174). There are so many different programs and software that can be used on computers that can target any of the intelligences, so it is important to remember this when incorporating technology into classrooms. When looking at the differences of cultures, it is important to remember that although some cultures have better strengths in some intelligence over others, every culture uses all eight of the intelligences. The third use of MI out of the classroom and into the real world is through career counseling and guiding students to discover which occupations they may best be suited for after considering their strengths. I have had teachers, guidance counselors, and other adults who have pressured both my peers and myself into either avoiding or leaning towards certain careers and goals based on a MI label that they were given. As a teacher, I want to make sure to educate my students about MI, but not pressure them into thinking that associating oneself with a particular intelligence is a static status.

This chapter emphasizes the main idea that we have been learning in both classes: relate the learning to the real world. And that is exactly what this chapter does with the multiple intelligences. It reminds the reader that even though students will most likely appreciate learning the way that they learn best, it will benefit them to look down the road and see how understanding their preferred intelligence will affect them in life. Including snippets of lessons that reflect upon what types of careers match with each intelligence will help the students to see the importance in the differing intelligences. Also, the students may have more respect for the way that I design lessons and instruction based upon all the intelligences rather than seeing it as a cushioning or as if they are being babied, which is a point of view I can see coming from some students.

Brianna Douglass
In this chapter it discuss three important applications of multiple intelligences. Technology can be a great tool in the classroom and pathway to using all eight intelligences. In the chapter give provides a table with all the intelligences and certain Web 2.0 and software features that can be used in each one. Also the idea that all cultures use all eight intelligences but the manner in which they do so is different. As a teacher I need to be able to integrate both technology and MI into the classroom so by using the table with software ideas for each intelligence I can do both at the same time. Being aware of culture is a very important aspect of teaching and so the book warns teachers not to make generalizations such as Asians are logical because every culture uses all eight intelligences.

 Chapter thirteen focused on three areas that MI theory should also be used in the classroom. These three examples were computer technology, cultural diversity, and career counseling. Computer technology is important because there is such a strong emphasis on computer geeks. There are a lot of different ways to use computers and the internet that emphasize all eight intelligences. Certain software enable students to use any intelligence that they want depending on what they are working on. I want to use technology as much as I can in as many different ways as I can. The chart in the book showed a lot of different ways that technology can be used, including plenty of nature and bodily/kinesthetic.

There are three general ideas discussed in Chapter 13: Other Applications of MI Theory. The first topic is computer technology and this section gives great examples of Web 2.0 software. This impacted me because as a math teacher I will be doing my best to integrate technology. I not only have to accommodate the logical/mathematical intelligences in my classroom, but I need to keep the other intelligences in mind. What really impacted me about this topic was the bodily kinesthetics technology features such as 3D Body Adventure. It is really difficult to find ideas with technology and kinesthetics. Cultural diversity also was a great factor in this chapter. I need to relate to my students through their cultures to get a better connection with them. They will need to look past stereotypes and focus on their inner intelligence(s). This chapter also lists many careers my students could have if they really feel a strong intelligence. If I introduce my students to these career options early, they choose an intelligence that really interests them, and they can work harder at becoming that occupation.

This chapter focused on three main things. It focused on computer technology, cultural diversity, and career counseling. Computer technology is a great way to meet all the different intelligences in your classroom. It provides so many programs that make it easier for you and your students. Culture diversity is a very interesting way to help your students learn about all the different intelligences. They can hopefully take home that all cultures use all eight intelligences. Lastly, you can provide your students career counseling. Provide them the information about certain jobs that might best fit their intelligence. Motivate them to search for jobs out there that are interesting to them and their intelligences. I never had this in high school. I once took a survey about my interests my sophomore year in high school, and the end result said I was going to be a bus driver. Wow, what an encouraging career. I must admit that I found it hilarious at the time, but it never motivated me to look into a specific field. I would much rather learn about careers from my teacher, instead of a school survey.

Chapter 13 talked about how MI theory can also be applied to computer technology, cultural diversity and career counseling. These are very important applications of MI theory that may not be considered all of the time in the classroom. Computer technology is very important because, as we have seen in the videos in class, the students growing up now will be digital learners. They're going to want to be able to create and change their environment. Computers offer a way for them to do that by being applicable to almost any intelligence. This will impact my classroom because I hope to be able to use the up and coming technology to teach my students in the way they are expecting and wanting to be taught. If students are interested in how they are being taught they they are more likely to learn.

Darcie Simmons
This chapter discussed three different ways in which MI theory can be applied in the classroom other than through lessons; computer technology, cultural diversity, and career counseling. With computer technology, a lot of it we’re learning about in Theresa’s class, which deals with integrating technology in the classroom, I just never realized that it could apply to the MI theory, even though it doesn’t really surprise me. The line, “every culture has and uses all eight intelligences” (177), is very powerful. With the cultural diversity that is happening all over America realizing this is very important. Since I want to move into a city to teach I should especially be aware of this, hopefully find the multiple intelligences across the different cultures in my classroom. Career counseling is actually really fun for the students to do. I remember being in high school and taking a bunch of quizzes about myself to find out what I should do when I grow up. These different ways to use the MI theory in the classroom is very important, and I will be sure to make sure I incorporate these three things while I am in the classroom.

Megan Wallace
I learned that the multiple intelligences have wider applications than just teaching. They can also be used in computer technology, cultural diversity, and career counseling. Computers have a wide range of uses and can touch on all of the intelligences. I fully intend on making computers a part of my classroom and integrating them into my lessons. The chapter also mentioned how every culture in the world uses the multiple intelligences to some extent or another. As a history teacher I can easily incorporate this into my lesson plans. By bringing the multiple intelligences into my classroom it helps the students to see jut where their strengths lie. In finding their strengths they can get an idea of what they would like to be when they get out of school. I want to be able to do that for my students.

Chapter 13: In this chapter there were three major ideas discussed. The first is how to use technology with the multiple intelligences. The second is using the multiple intelligences and relating them to cultural diversity. The third idea was multiple intelligences and career counseling. I think that it is really important to incorporate both technology and the multiple intelligences into the classroom, so combing the two into one activity really helps with lesson planning to bring both into the classroom. I also think that it is important to broaden students awareness of different cultures and the different ways that these cultures are learning. We could really learn a lot by examining a different culture and their teaching styles.

Alyssa Wadsworth
This chapter discussed multiple intelligences in relation to culture; all cultures use all eight intelligences. I also learned from this chapter that students need to be exposed to what types of jobs are related to specific intelligences. This affects me because I could literally relate my students’ work to the real world outside of the classroom into which they are thrown after graduation. This will help my students to understand the relevancy of their work to the world they live in every day.

Kaitlyn Haase
In chapter 13, I learned about applying MI theory through computer technology, cultural diversity, and career counseling. The author identified a stereotype about computers and their link to the logical/mathematical intelligence. Computer technology can be used to explore any and all of the intelligences. Cultural diversity is becoming more and more prevalent in our classrooms and it is important to remember that every culture has and uses all eight intelligences. Figure 13.2 on page 178 is a great example that demonstrates implementing MI across cultures. Career counseling is a great application of MI because clearly there are specific professions and careers linked to each intelligence. This chapter impacts me as teacher because I had never thought of implementing MI across different cultures.

Taylor Kemp
This chapter talks about where multiple intelligence can be used in education other than the ones normal thought of. Those are computers, cultural diversity, and career counseling. Although I did not really think any of these fit at first, they make perfect sense. Any type of software can be used on a computer to accomplish anything. Most often using more then one MI at a time. For the cultural diversity, many cultures put emphasis on specific tasks or abilities that involve a MI. This is important because especially here in America, we are so diverse. for the career one, reach career to choose from involves certain MIs. This will impact my classroom because I will be teaching the age group where they are thinking about careers, and this could help.

Olivia Norris
In chapter 13 of MI, the idea of using multiple intelligence in many lessons in and out of the classroom was discussed. Computer technology, career counseling, and cultural diversity were all examples of how I can, as a teacher, apply multiple intelligences in the classroom. I am learning more and more how important the use of technology is in the classroom. Technology can help to integrate all kinds of intelligences, and when I become a teacher I will be aware of the ways in which I can use computer technology to help reach out to my students in the classroom.
