I think that there is a very strong relationship between learning and ones emotions. I personally think that unless you WANT to learn and are engaged. I know there were times that I was having a bad day and kind of kept my head in my notebook and paid no attention to the teacher, what was going on, or even the people around me. More than likely if it's not something you're interested in, you're not going to pay too much attention or go out of your way to learn it.
All of this goes with the MI theory because it shows that students can learn in various ways and that there's not one set way of learning in the classroom. My worst subject in school has and always will be Math, unless I understand what I am doing and then I love it...but that's hardly ever. When I was at a different college and taking a math course, we had the course in classroom, but the teacher had us do all of our work in class on the computer which meant I was using technology. He had provided videos and even made videos of people/himself teaching the subject to us and we were to take notes on it. I loved it and did well with it.
The MI Theory is important in 21st century learning because kids all need to learn the same topics and if they aren't grasping it one way then they need to be taught a different way so they do so. (Howard)
