The document discusses Howard Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences and how technology can support each type of intelligence. It lists the 7 main intelligences - linguistic, logical-mathematical, visual/spatial, bodily-kinesthetic, musical, interpersonal, and intrapersonal. It also discusses recently added naturalistic and existential intelligences. For each intelligence, it provides examples of how different technologies, such as word processing, music software, cameras, and internet searches, can engage that intelligence. It closes by stating educators must consider individual learning differences when integrating technology.
