I think that Howard Garner had some important points he made in his interview. Some of the things he said hit me directly, and opened my eyes to see how much technology can and is needed to be used in today's classroom. One sentence that he said stood out to me the most was "Everything can be taught in more than one way." This seemed to not only apply to the idea of treating each child individually, but the way Howard brings it up as technology can be one solution to this. Through technology, along with traditional methods lessons and concepts can be taught in more than one way. Thus, every child will be able to experience various ways of learning. The school in the "Seamless Integration" video seems to use this concept of integrating technology into their classrooms and are gaining positive feedback. I hope to do the same when I someday become that educator. As for now I have already leanred that the simple programs like power-point and inspiration can be of assistance to my teaching. I know that there are many more programs like that out there, and hope to understand them and use them like I can with there others. If every teacher knew abotu these resources, and used them hopefully every child's ability will be reached. I honestly belive that Howard Gardner's statement will then come true for thru technology "anything can be taught in more than one way."
