Is it appropriate to allow a student in a wheelchair to enroll in a physically demanding program of study in which he or she won't be able to get a job later? Why or why not?

You grade students down for spelling errors on their papers. What reasonable accommodation could you make for a student with a learning disability that affects his/her spelling?

In what way can a misconception about students who are hard of hearing, deaf, blind, or have limited vision cause injustice? Explain.

This is very important. You need to reach you whole class, there is no better way then understanding how they learn. With big classes it can be tough. I like to have them in groups and generally the will end up with other individuals with the same learning style. It makes teaching to the different generations a little easier and every one has a better grasp on the material.

I will no longer consider the persisent GenYer as an over anxious achiever. After taking this course, I realize that GenYers want and yearn for immediate feedback. I often thought, please give me one full class period to return a test or an assignment. Now, I am going to make an extra effort to return grades the same day, when possible. I now view this persistence in a different and more positive manner.

I joined LinkedIn about 4 years ago and then LinkedOut. after reading this article, I am going to reactivate my LinkedIn account AND encourage my students to post on this networking site. Everyone pushes Monster and CareerBuilder... It's time to "tout" LinkedIn.

Until taking this course, I thought it was a sign of weakness for the instructor not to know "it all". The material in this session made a very compelling point by stating instructors can leverage the intellect of the savvy techy GenYers in the class room. I believe the author indicated it is better to NOT fake it because these GenYers can sniff a phony out in a minute.

I am going to recommend to our DOE that every instructor take this course. While trying to find more ways to be effective in the classroom, I actually learned a lot more about my own learning style as a CEC instructor. This Boomer enjoyed this course.

I think that it's a bit too easy to overcompensate time on task when working with a student with a disability for fear of not meeting their needs. I think in doing this that we short change our other students and end up letting the students we make accommodations for get away with sub par work and poor attitudes which, in the long run, is not beneficial to that student. While I'm on my soap box I'd like to add that I think it's ridiculous that I have to have documentation if a student needs specific accommodations. I have, in the past, read tests out loud to my whole class and asked them to write their answers down on a piece of paper because I had a student who was to poor to get documentation for her disability.

Over the past 7 years I have worked with several students with disabilities. My approach is to offer them variety of learning materials, visual text or demonstration. I find that combinig different delivery methods is a great way to reach a student who is stuggling with course materials.

All types need the same input from us.

High technology is very helpful nowadays. Saves time both students/instructors.

understanding the different types of generation will give you an idea of what kind of student you have.

Understanding our students will give us an idea what they need.

Over the past years I have worked with many students with disabilities. My main focus is to help them with a variety of learning methods. Often times these methods will include memory association, written and verbal guidelines, and overall sympathy to there needs. What methods have you used?

No, no, no and NO. I could not believe I read this: "One simple way to identify with Gen Y students is to make your number available to them for contacting you." This is the absolute LAST, and I mean LAST thing any educator should do. If you think I'm being over dramatic, watch this link: http://www.myfoxhouston.com/story/25034390/2014/03/20/students-teach-students-how-to-get-teachers-fired-tutorial I find it laughable to think that anyone would be a proponent of a student having a teacher's phone number, and it won't cause issues. Come on now! Any educator should know that there is a line between student and educator, and to say that line should be crossed is ridiculous. We aren't friends with students, it's that simple. I don't care what generation a student is from, there is no need to give out personal information to any of my students, and I don't care to ever do so. Even if this was only a "suggestion" about giving out cell numbers, it is bad practice, misleading and downright detrimental to an educator's career.

As a chef instructor, I find it hard to tell my students to not use their phones for notes. Even though I tell them to write it down on a notebook, they go home and copy it onto their notes application on their smartphones. I often catch them on their phones, not reading the notes that they claimed to have taken. I understand that it would be wrong to ask them all to put their phones away and only rely on notebooks, but I don't want to be unfiar to those who are genuinely using their phones for the right reasons. What would be the best course of action to take? -Gabriel

There are many veterans in my current classes, and I wanted to find out about learning activities to help engage the students who are veterans.

Do Gen Yers really struggle with failure because of the special treatment received by parents or the "participation trophies" or is it more simply that the economy is in a far worse state than it was in 1980s. Are they having to work harder to earn less?

As a member of Generation Y, it is an odd thing to be labeled as such when I am in a position of authority. The benefits, I suppose to this understanding is the fact that I am teaching members who are baby boomers and a part of Gen X.
