Supporting Diverse Students

Public

Ask a question from your peers to help you in your professional work. Seek different points of view on a topic that interests you. Start a thought-provoking conversation about a hot, current topic. Encourage your peers to join you in the discussion, and feel free to facilitate the discussion. As a community of educators, all members of the Career Ed Lounge are empowered to act as a discussion facilitator to help us all learn from each other.

Impact of social media

Are students capable to look beyond interenet?

All Together Now

As a Culinary Instructor, one aspect that helps me with some of the differences between generations is our lessons require physical, hands on application. Vets and Baby Boomers cannot rely only on memorization and Gens. Y and X cannot rely soley on the internet. They certainly need to understand the proper techniques but they must physically and properly execute this knowledge if they expect to be successful. These hands-on requirements help all in the class be on the same learning page regardless of their age.

Instructional strategies

I am incorporating many different strategies to reach students. our College uses a Contract for Sucess to help students take ownership of learning.

Technology

I have found that technology is a great tool but I have had to spend time letting some students know that they are not to text the entire class.

Small groups

doing book work and moving from task to task has really helped with the development of students

Gen Y

Students from different generations have many different things that help them. I have noticed as I let more technology in to lessons the students do much better.

Gen Y Small Groups

Do you think the desire for Gen Y's to work in small groups vs individuals is linked to the idea that they are expected to succeed and are closely watched for this success. As in they have pressure/desire not to fail, so feel more safe working in a group setting?

Great Information

The breakdown of what instructional style each generation typically responds to best is very helpful. It is interesting to me to use a blend and see which students respond to best, when the class is a generation blend as well. Do generations welcome the techniques of others?

Instructor Responsibility

Although it is the responsibility of the student with an identified disability to self-report, I think instructors have a responsibility to note behaviors, visual clues, and other telling factors to identify unreported disablility problems. There are those students who don't realize or understand they suffer a disability, and there are those who know or suspect they have a disability and ignore the problem.

instructing a gen.Y student

A gen Y student would rather have the info already submitted into a computer or they need to do it hands on so they can actually put 2 an 2 together. during a demonstration of the activity @ hand if the instructions are boring or to long the Gen Y student will get distracted and only half of the project will be done as per the instructions and the second half would be discussed

learning preferances

as the gen y student would rather sit on there buts and learn by reading we learned by doing. and then inputting the information so the next gen. would have it easier.

Troy Marto

what is the differance

there is actually no differences in the generations we have all been discovering a better way to communicate or how to do something easier or how to get directions just to visit some one or to find a place. its just that todays computers and technology makes it so much easier. with out the previous generations we would not have the technology as precise as we have it now. so in other words we all put in our own two cents worth.
