This book seeks to explain the differences between Howard Gardners 8 Learning
Styles. It gives suggestions specifically for educators, so that teachers are better able to
tailor their teaching to meet the unique needs of each individual student.

help determine what types of technology tools to build into my unit, so that I could ensure
that I was meeting the needs of all my students.

give me an informed methodology for doing that.
