MI Chapter 10

    Chapter ten of Multiple Intelligences discusses how we can use what we learned about the various intelligences and take it to the next step and connect it to assessment. This technique allows teachers to provide a way for each student to illustrate to the best of their ability the content in the unit they are learning. This seems to be like it could be difficult at first to assess a different type of product for each student and having various rubrics but in fact it may make things better because the teacher could generate one generic rubric that fits the needs of the various products and the shows the students the expectations. This will also allow students to be more interested in the assignment (or at least that's the goal) so that they can participate rather than feel as if their not included. I really feel like this type of teaching style is really connecting to the 21st century teaching/learning style where the needs of the individual are meant rather than addressing the class and hoping others "catch on." This seems like it could be a beneficial aspect for the educational system.
