MI Chapter 13

The focus of this chapter is to tell us about the application of MI theory in computer technology, cultural diversity, and career counseling. There are software programs that are designed to interface with any of the eight intelligences. As we have been learning in class, with technology we can create projects that incorporate all intelligences. "According to MI theory, an intelligence must be valued by a culture in order to be considered a true intelligence." Different cultures place a different degree of importance on each intelligence but all cultures have and use all eight. "If students are exposed from an early age to a variety of adults demonstrating real-life skills in all eight intelligences, they will have a firm basis on which to launch a career once they leave school." It is important that when doing this what we do not attempt to match a child's proclivities to a career.
