Diversified students

I found that Course ED 117 was perfect for what I need in my class; because I have such a diversity in ages and backgrounds, and I can now see how I really have to incorporate different learning tools to accomodate my students.  I have the older generation (Vets/baby boomers) and the Y-ers all mixed together.  It's difficult reading, lecturing, power-pointing, and hands-on all in one day -- let alone one hour.  l find the Y-ers are the students that keep me on my toes, and they definitely want to know "WHY?." to every single statement I make or when we are  discussing a subject as a group, the Y-ers are always the ones who question everything.  I have a lot more insight and ideas after I went through this particular course and plan to apply my newly acquired info.

ED117 was useful, especially with understanding the younger generation. I never thought I would get to the point where I would be saying, "Idon't understand the kids of today", but I guess I have finally reached that point.

I feel that understanding generational behaviors is important in understanding the dynamics of your classroom. I think that it is important to incorporate different educational techniques to keep everyone engaged. Having the information about what the students' expectations are can help you build a better rapport with the class and help them get the most out of the experience.
