Chapter 13

Abstract:
This chapter talked a lot about cultural differences. It said that some chapters may put more value in one intelligence than in another, but even so, every culture has all eight intelligences. There is a chart provided that gives a famous person from different cultures for each intelligence. This chapter also talked about the use of technology to help teach the multiple intelligences. Some suggestions for the use of technology are word processors, drawing and painting programs, and electronic portfolios. This chapter provides us with a list of jobs that are associated to each of the intelligences.

Reflection
Overall our group didn't like this chapter very much. We all thought that the list of jobs related to the multiple intelligences could be useful and a good resource for students, but we felt like there wasn't a lot of information in the chapter other than that. We liked that they started talking about technology and its uses but the information seemed very basic and to some it felt like common sense information. Some ideas, such as the electronic portfolio, were thought to be new and useful but we really felt like they could have put more information into the chapter. It almost felt like it was a chapter that mostly said the end of the book is coming so we are going to wrap things up now. It skimmed the surface of some useful information, but it didn't go very deep into it.
