Tap into technology to tap the potential in exceptional children!
Meeting the needs of increasingly diverse students, in the face of ever-broadening standards and requirements, is an overwhelming challenge for today′s conscientious teachers.
Luckily, help is available--in the form of exciting new software and devices that can help make every classroom inviting and supportive for every student. Technology and the Diverse Learner is an invaluable, user-friendly guide to understanding and applying these technologies.
Highlights include:
- A summary of the latest technologies and the learners who will benefit most from each type
- Chapter-by-chapter guiding questions and "For Further Application" sections that facilitate understanding and implementation
- Straightforward discussion of the standards and guidelines for teaching diverse learners
- Special focus on issues related to disabilities, gender, culture, and language
The strategies and examples in this timely handbook provide flexible approaches to integrating innovative technology in the K-12 inclusive classroom. It provides practical information on matching the right technology with the right type of learner to boost satisfaction and success for students and teachers.
Technology and the Diverse Learner provides a substantial amount of information in an easy-to-read format, which is important since so many books on this subject use an extensive array of technical terms that are often confusing and impossible to apply in everyday practice. -- Julie Box, National Board Certified Teacher
"This book would be valuable to any science teacher or educator who teaches a diverse population of students, including inclusion students. It is a valuable tool for the general educator, whether a ′techie′ or a novice at new technologies; it is a source of creative ideas that provide and overview of different technologies that can be used with specific learners." -- Science Scope, September 2005
