This document discusses Howard Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences which identifies eight types of intelligence: linguistic, logical-mathematical, spatial, bodily-kinesthetic, musical, interpersonal, intrapersonal, and naturalist. It provides brief descriptions of each type of intelligence and examples of how technology can be used to support instruction for students with those intelligences. The figure aims to help teachers identify ways to engage all students using different technologies that match their multiple intelligences.
