"Gardner’s multiple intelligence theory" says unlike the traditional psychological view of intelligence, individuals have more than one form of intelligence other than logical and mathematical intelligence. This theory says that people have seven different intelligences. Each individual has different strongsuits in various or particular intelligences that enable them to solve problems or produce outcomes.
“Bloom’s taxonomy” is a theory that proposes a classification of various objectives and skills that educators should put into place for their students. It divides these educational objectives into three domains: Affective, Psychomotor, and Cognitive. The domains are set in a hierachy where learning at a higher level is based previously acquired knowledge and skills at lower levels of learning.
"Dale's cone of experience" uses the model of cone to show the relationships of educational experiences to reality or what is simulated in real life.
I believe all the theories supports technology integration in the classroom because although they provide a format or a proposed model, as a teacher we can adapt theories to fit into the teaching methods we want to use. We can use technology to help us appeal to individual students' intelligences as well as use technology to make educational experiences relate to real life.

I believe that some form of all the technologys can relate to each theory. I think that technonlogy could be a great tool in helping students figure out which one of Gardners intelligences they are most strong in. What do you think? I agree with you when you say that technonlogy can make educational experiences relate to real life. We can use technology to show students what it is like in other parts of the world. Though I think it would still be hard for them to truly understand it without experienceing it first hand. I think that technology in general would be best included in Bloom's theory because technology can help with the gaining of general knowledge.
Yes, I agree with the points you made. Technology can help teachers show students different cultures and even though they might not completely understand what the culture is like without experiencing it themselves in real life, they could still learn a lot from just seeing videos, slideshow, powerpoint presentation or listening to music of different cultures. I also agree that with using technology like games that require different cognitive skills and focus on specific areas that could help measure which intelligences a child might have. Also, it makes sense that Bloom's theory might be the easiest to integrate technology with because technology can help students gain more knowledge about various subjects.
I completely agree with the last paragraph because I feel that using technology is a key to learning more about real life situations. Technolgy has enhanced so much that student's will learn so much from viewing articles or looking at pictures. This also is a hazard, but as teachers we have to give our students the correct information when dealing with technolgy in order to protect them.
After reading your response i basically feel the same way about all three of the theories. Do you agree with Gardner, Bloom, or Dale's theory? Why? On the other hand, i agree with Gardner's theory. I feel that all children learn in various ways and as teachers you should make accomodations and find out what type of learner each child is. This way you as a teacher are able to fulfill all the students needs due to their type of intelligence.
I agree with what you said about showing students about real life and many other things outside "their world" while using the computer. Which of these theories do you believe the children will be able to use in the classroom without any help from the teacher?
