What is Multiple Intelligences Theory

Examining Multiple Intelligences and Digital Technologies for Enhanced Learning Opportunities

Abstract
The understanding of how individuals learn is continually changing. With the tremendous influence of technology in the classroom, it is vital that educators integrate the use of technology with specific attention and profound thought with respect to the needs of learners, including the role of multiple intelligences. Moreover, learning environments are now customizable due to new communication and information technology tools that are revolutionizing education. Research indicates the need to coordinate the use of technology with the style in which students learn. With the tremendous options and continual transformations available, educators must appraise instructional techniques, specifically the use of technology, with consideration to various learning styles and intelligences in order to engage students in their learning and also to reinforce learning in various ways. This article seeks to explore the concepts of multiple intelligence theory through technology applications.
