I completed mine on Saturday and just like you it really opened me to different methods and approach to teaching. Truly somtimes we feel frustrated in dealing with the students but like we learned in the course, we hve to find different ways and methods in getting to them. Anyway, I really enjoyed the course too.

I remember years ago a particular student that had trouble learning.  English was his second language, but I believe that he had some other disability and that was why he had some difficulty learning.  What I did was give him some of my personal time and although it may have helped, but that time could've been spent more effectively had I simply asked that student what specifically they might've needed.  That's one of the things I learned from ED106--just ask, "How can I help you to understand this better?  What has worked for you in the past?"  Thanks.

I run into alot of students that have learning issues. Once they grab hold of the main concept they usually can run with it, its just getting to that point. Sometimes they even retain it better. It just takes  more time to get them to that point. This has taught me some new guide lines and new tips and has also given me an better understanding.
