I came across the following article that was very helpful in understanding Howard Gardner’s Multiple Intelligence Theory. The article was used in a graduate class offered by JonLJenMarc.
How do I apply multiple intelligences (M.I.) theory in my classroom? (From the Website 13.) This is a great little article about Multiple Intelligences that was shared with me in a graduate class offered by JonLJenMarc.
The article:

- Provides examples of how to incorporate the intelligence into the subject matter.
