Students want to contribute to the discussion. Yet, sometimes they for their shyness or lack of assertiveness will not step forward to participate.

I provided several different angles or ways to look at the same subject, so that different learning styles could be identified. As an example, one student appeared to have a problem reading the text material. I provided him the audio chapter review for his Ipod. Next, I used flash cards as support material to work on his visual recognition. Finally, I used an interactive game of Jeopardy to further in student's understanding.

It common to find that a student may have multiple disabilities. The most important thing for an instructuctor to remember is that everyone does not learn the same way you do.

I have found that asking a question and then pausing draws students into the lesson. With the potential that a student may be chosen to answer a question, most students do not want to be caught off guard. Therefore, students tend to pay attention when they recognize that they may have to answer a question.
