Gardner's theory of multiple intelligence is based upon the belief that different forms of intelligences exists for individuals. These intelligences are known as linguistic, musical, logical-mathematical, spatial, body-kinestethic, intrapersonal, and interpersonal. Each type of intelligence learns more quickly when their particular intelligence is addressed.

Using multiple intelligence strategies within my classroom, I have been able to reach students of all learning levels. A great example of multiple intelligence activity would be a hypermedia presentation. This type of collaborative activity allows students to use their preferred intelligence while also providing opportunity to develop weaker intelligences.
