MI Theory and Technology

What some people may not put a lot of thought into is that the connection between your feelings on the topic you are being taught or learning about. If you are learning about something that does not interest you in any sense then you are not going to put your all into paying attention and learning about the topic. When not interested in the topic then you are not going to give the teacher or the material your full attention, without the material interesting you then you are not going to care if you understand the material or not. Usually when you don't care too much for what is being taught, then it tends to be more difficult to understand and be tested on because of the lack of interest whereas if you do find it interesting them it grabs your attention and you find it less difficult to grasp the concept. When it is something that you have more emotion in learning in more depth about then you put forth more effort and attention to understand the material in a more open-minded and enjoyable way (Carlson-Pickering).
The MI Theory correlates with this because not everyone learns the same things, the same exact way. Every child has a different learning style and they absorb information in so many different ways, kids grasp material all sorts of ways. This is why classroom material shouldn't be taught in just one specific way, it wouldn't be fair to teach it in certain way when half of the children are not making any progress on learning. Being able to teach the children in many different ways would be more likely to allow more of them to understand what is being taught and learning more material that is important and being able to apply the material when asked or needed (Changing).
Reading and Chemistry is my absolute least favorite topic when it comes to learning. I learn best by movement (Assessment)  and within those two topics, movement isn't really the ideal way to teach wither of those. By using technology it could possible allow me to use interacting tools or demonstrations to help me find those topics more interesting and easier to understand. Instead of sitting in the classroom and being lectured all of this different equations or just being stuck having to read material, I could use technology to broaden my views on this topics by making it more interacting.
In today's world there are so many things that people still don't understand and I believe that that is why MI Theory is important in our society because there is so many different ways to learn and people should be able to experience those in order to be able to understand and learn more things in our time and technology. Teaching many different ways to meet the needs of more than one learning style is the perfect example for "No child left behind." Therefore, using the MI Theory will have the chance to broaden the learning horizon for many more people in the world.
