Book ID/图书代码： 11724014B70917
English Summary/英文概要： Middle school is a time of growth and change for students, with each student changing and growing in different ways and at different rates. These students, like the rest of us, have different interests, different backgrounds, and different goals for their lives. Educators have a responsibility to treat and teach them as individuals. Differentiated Instruction (DI) makes this possible, and technology makes DI easy, effective, and engaging.
Recognizing a need for change in middle school instruction, the authors wrote Differentiating Instruction with Technology in Middle School Classrooms to show educators the benefits of combining DI with technology, encouraging educators to re-engage students by bringing lessons out of the past and into the student-centered reality of digital-age learning. This book offers an overview of research on the uniqueness of middle school students and illustrates the importance of using technology to create differentiated lessons, especially with this age group. It lists the fundamental components of DI, student traits that guide DI, and Web 2.0 resources that can help make DI a reality in the middle school classroom. It also includes sample activities for incorporating DI in multiple subjects: math, science, social studies, and language arts. The strategies and lessons in this book will ensure that students receive a tailored education that also prepares them with the technology skills they need for a successful future.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 学生们都有着自己不同的兴趣，背景，学习方式和能力水平。 好的老师会看到自己学生身上的这些综合情况，并以此为自己的学生量身设计的教育方式，以确保他们的学生们有一个成功的未来。 技术使教育家更加有效地，高效率地和容易地对学生进行指导。 这两套系列丛书集中强调了差异交学法(DI)在中学和五六年级课堂开展的重要性，通过案例模仿互动、推荐战略以及相关的Web2.0网络使用工具，得以让这一新教学方式灵活应用。
