I'm learning more about the multiple intelligences right now, and in particular what I'm wondering about is how did Howard Gardner come up with the multiple intelligences. I was researching this online, and this blog post caught my attention because it mentioned Howard Gardner and the multiple intelligences. The title also showed a preview of what the article is about. I read the blog post and didn't show what i want, however i did find this quote to be intriguing. "Howard Gardner has questioned the idea that intelligence is a single entity, that it results from a single factor, and that it can be measured simply via IQ tests. . . challenging also the cognitive development work of Piaget. Bringing forward evidence to show that at any one time a child may be at very different stages for example, in number development and spatial/visual maturation, Howard Gardner has successfully undermined the idea that knowledge at any one particular developmental stage hangs together in a structured whole. (infed.org/thinkers)" The quote i chose here is basically saying that Howard Gardner noticed that people learn differently through the study of basic children. I think this is informative because it makes me wonder how he figured this out without using really complex technology.

I know now that I should not abuse my children if I want them to be as smart as possible. I was shocked to find this out when I read it.

I'm learning more about the multiple intelligences right now, and in particular what I'm wondering about is: What do other people think of it? I was researching this question online, and this twitter post caught my attention because it was a person's simple opinion, not some long thought-out piece. "It is not how smart you are but how you are smart. That's the basic premise of the Theory of Multiple Intelligences (MI)." The quote I chose here is basically saying that the intelligence is all about where you excel, not if you can. I think this is a perfect explanation because it's quick and from this person's own experiences. It makes me wonder if there is some truth to this theory despite some valid opposing views. I suppose it's all what you make out of it.
