This document discusses the implications of multiple intelligences theory for education and provides examples of how educational technology can be used to engage students with different intelligences. It recommends that teachers differentiate instruction so each student can learn in their optimal way and that any topic should be taught through multiple methods activating different intelligences. Examples are given of digital storytelling, simulations, games, design tools, web tools, and adaptive programs that align with different intelligences. The benefits are seen as leveling opportunities, engagement, and fostering 21st century skills like critical thinking.
