Abstract: Chapter 13 of the Multiple Intelligence book titled Other Applications of MI Theory, provides context which extends the multiple intelligences into a broader perspective. The book provides three applications: computer technology, cultural diversity, and career counseling. The computer technology talks about how computers are mainly used to focus on the logical-mathematical intelligence. The book encourages teachers to use computers to other intelligences. The second application is cultural diversity. With our schools becoming more diverse every year, it is necessary for teachers to teach their curriculum to other culture. Teachers must find curriculum that every culture thinks is valuable. The last application the book talks about is career counseling. This book encourages teachers to start to talk to students about what they would like to do as a career at a young age. It is important that students are exposed to a wide range of professions that incorporate the eight intelligences.
Response: People seemed to respond nicely to the chapter. There were many interesting things students found but a prominent thing was how this book encouraged teachers to implement technology into the classroom. An important aspect about this is that not only should teachers implement technology into the classroom but they should use technology to all eight intelligences.

This abstract and reflection are very well done and very useful. The link on ipods was very good and I loved how each of the topics gives a link to a page with more information on what each one is and how you can use it in the classroom. I really liked the Google Get tool because it will send news right to an Ipod and student will not have to go searching for links.
Hey Mckell,
I liked your first link. I think that using iPods in the classroom is probably one of the most effective ways to get students involved. I don't actually have an iPod but my younger sister does (she's a junior in HS) and every time I see her it's attached to her face.
I enjoyed the link about technology, because it was shedding a new light on ipods that not that many people are familiar with yet. It lists the ways that ipods can be used as educational tools, and I thought that all the ways that were listed were interesting and useful. It definitely shows how using ipods can help you study better.
