MI theory is not used for just creating inovative projects for the students, but can help you as an educator reach more students and to allow them to be more successful. The teory is helpful so the teacher can incorporate a several teaching strategies into a lesson which allow learners with a variety of intelligences engage in their education. Which mean, don't just use one method of engaging students. You may need to lecture, but you also need to do other types of activities; otherwise, only a small percentage of your students will learn. Utilize activities that require physical movements (have a student act like a robot only responding to instructions given by other students - this was for an intro to programming class); utilize activities that require drawing, such as having students draw and identify icons; utilize powerpoint presentations; or utilize music during lab time or seat work. Be creative. That's one of the many joys of teaching.
