Howard Gardner (1983) is a very important theorist for students, teachers, and education. His work with
multiple intelligences allows students to realize their strengths in learning and gives teachers the opportunity
to understand the dynamics of the classroom. The nine intelligences include; spatial/visual, bodily/kinesthetic,
musical, verbal/linguistic, naturalistic, logical/mathematical, interpersonal, intrapersonal and existentialist.
Gardner’s theory of multiple intelligences involves the use of these intelligences in student learning to
emphasize their strengths and aid success. It is geared towards the encouragement of students to use their
talents and strengths to learn and interacts with the content.
In using the theory of multiple intelligences as a base in any classroom and by adding
technology, educators can allow students to use their strongest intelligence in order to
understand and learn best. Classrooms should incorporate more technology for in-class
assignments and learning, as some students require different teaching and learning strategies in
order to fully grasp ideas and succeed.

Learners are considered as unique
individuals with varied intelligences
and learning styles. As a future
teacher, design a lesson plan that
deals with differentiated activities.
