MI: Chapter 12

This chapter ties MI to cognitive skills in memory, problem solving, misconceptions, and blooms taxonomy. I really like how MI was applied to memory because everyone remembers in a different way. Personally I have more of a visual memory especially when it comes to school, either i like to have a picture or diagram I can keep and store in my head, or just visualize the answer to a question in some way. During tests I like to close my eyes and I can visualize what I had studied. Problem solving can be used in a visual way as well by simply knowing a process and then envisioning it in your mind. Once a student is introduced to the different ways the intelligences can help them to better their memory or solve a problem they can use that approach themselves. The chapter then goes on to explain how students come out of school with so many simple misconceptions and these can be avoided by using the eight intelligences. This can be done by bringing learning to a higher level and not letting them run astray on the simple but most important ideas. Last is bloom's taxonomy directly relating to MI where they can work hand in hand to create a way to learn.
