description Every teacher has experienced at some time in his or her professional life the feeling of not having enough attention during the class. We have wondered if the topic being taught is not interesting, if we are not able to maintain the students' attention, if our method is not suitable.

Each person has diverse talents and, as stated by some authors, diverse types of "intelligence". Do teachers know about this phenomenon? How do we deal with it?
