I found the information to be important and revelant for student interaction.

The content of the course was very informative and thought provoking. I feel I will be more sensitive to the level of understanding of our students and their learning styles. I will strive to make my teaching easily understandable and attempt to change anything that is not.

I have gained a better understanding of learning styles and how to accomodate students that have them.

I have, over the years, taught many students who presented an IEP when first entering the classroom. The IEP would generally specify certain accomodations such as extra time on tests and lab activities etc. but that is all. I feel this course has really enlightened me to many other ways we can truly not just help, but encourage success for these students. Better ways to understand them and enable them to better understand us! This is an exceptional course which has filled in many blanks for me and that I will be able to put to great use in my classes.

I work in an institution that provides education to students with PTSD & TBI and will strive to use the tools in the lesson to help them become more effective students.  As a military retiree, I have always been able to rapidly build raport with students that are still in the military and trying to gain additional education to futher their careers.  The information in the course has made me realize many condierations that I have not been made aware of, to help students with these issues feel more comfortable and at ease in a classroom setting.  I will also… >>>

It was enlightning all this information and how we have students suffering PTSD disorder. It helped a lot all the techniques I learned today. I will be implementing the techniques in my classes. 

I will encorporate more technology into my teaching and use more different ways to engage thru powerpoints, skype learning tool etc.

It's an amazing idea to raise this issue of the diversity in classrooms. It stikes many strings on how instructors manage this issue effectively.

I strongly agree that instructors shouldn't consider ESL students as stuggling students. They should be praised for their ability to learn & be proficiennt in English, as this takes away the shame of not knowing the language off their shoulders.

This is the most important practical tip for any instructor, never stereotype. I found it very difficult for me at the beginning & sometimes till now. 

It is best to not assume the background of my students based on their looks, accent or national origin. It is best to learn about them through their discussion and work with them to better understand their learning style.

i did not know there was so many evolving terms of condition for this over the last few hundred years, good read.

To help students with TBI and PTSD acheve thier goals.

it was a collections of good idias i can now incorperate into teaching in the future to diverse groups

Definitely, times have changed as we progress in the application of new technologies and the reality is that different generations have multiple and different expectations. This needs to be considered. 

I plan to share what I learn with my peer instructional designers.

This course has been helpfu and it made me think of the importnace of teacher speakers of other languages. I am a native Spanish and I have taught English and Spanish for several years. Teaching ESL is a rewarding experience because learners feel empowered when they are able to communicate and to be independent. 

Understanding the diversity of learning disabilities, how to identify them, approach students, and assist them in their journey is extremely important. Having experienced many different learning disabilities in class, I am now able to identify them and am more confident in approaching discussions and finding accommodations for individual students. 

It is important to learn all the different ways to reach your students when you have several different generations in one class.  This course was very informative and can be used in any class as long as you involve everyone.

work with them and ask questions

I have learned the importance of understanding the distinct differences from different generations. It is essential to take the time to learn the reasons behind why people act and do the thinghs they do.

It has been my experience in teaching classes of diverse learners not only in generations, but in other areas, is to establish a tone of mutual respect and importance of everyone in the class.  I talk to them about building a sense of community and in that any community they are all kinds of roles, jobs, talents, and personalities that must find a way to co-exist with each other.  Humility and a servant attitude has proven very helpful to me along with a sense of humor.  Humor, respect, and a genuine interest in students as individuals can overcome a variety… >>>
