In "What's the big attraction? Why teachers are drawn to using Multiple intelligences Theory in their Classrooms", Leslie Owens describes how many teachers are attracted to the fact that they are able to teach and children can learn in different ways. Teachers like the Multiple Intelligence Theory because it "aids teachers in easily creating more personalized and diverse instructional experiences", "offers teacher assistance in helping students become empowered learners by extending and promoting cognitive bridging techniques based on the seven intelligences: by fostering deep metacognitive understanding; and by advancing suggestions for a broad array of diversified study skills techniques.

In 1983, Howard Gardner developed the multiple intelligences theory. There are supposedly eight different styles of learning and they are all independent of each other. It is said that the theory "has never been empirically tested" but this raises the question as to how you can possibly test such a thing. Another part of this article talks about IQ tests.

In the book "Digital Nation: toward an inclusive information society" by Anthony G. Wilhelm, he states that "a new provision of national education policy in the United States states that every eighth-grader must be technology-literate regardless of socioeconomic status or race". Wilhelm argues that the way we look at education as a whole nation needs to change. It might be difficult because we will be both "integrating these new skills into traditional subject areas and, more fundamentally, in transcending disciplines and school walls in pursuit of a more rewarding relationship to knowledge", but the whole world is transforming be more technologically savvy. Wilhelm also talks about the staff for schools and how they too need to adapt to the changing environment. He talks about people who use the internet "engage in self-directed work" because they want to. They go on this website because they want to learn but didn't always get the chance to in school.
