Lilianna's multiple intelligences.
Many people (especially teachers) are aware of the multiple intelligence theory developed by Howard Gardner: there are eight basic ways people learn, and a ninth is subject to debate.
Verbal/Linguistic
Mathematical/Logical
Visual/Spatial
Musical/Rhythmic
Bodily/Kinesthetic
Naturalist
Interpersonal
Intrapersonal
(Existential)

I’ve been trying to figure out how technology fits in with the intelligences. Looking briefly online for some information, I read a lot on how technology can help teachers use multiple intelligences to teach their students. But what about students that are bad at technology?
