ED106
I really enjoyed this learning module. The information on the various leaning disabilities was really interesting. Many of the topics in the module I already use in the classroom but this module offered ways to enhance my teaching and offer a more inclusive classroom.
This module gave me some food-for-thought concerning "Who might and might-not" have a learning disability. As a prime example, I make reference to myself in making the following statement: "I actually had no trouble whatsoever, in reading the scrambled sentence, given as an illustration, in the Dsylexia portion of the course". To be fair, though, I find it interesting to play-around with words, sentence-structures, reading 'upside-down' and the like. I find that it both challenges me, and also serves as me as a simple relaxation-therapy exercise. The benefit of this quirk, though, is that I can begin to understand how those with the condition must work around the problem - AND, for their entire life. I am, however, taking-away quite a few new ideas from this module, for use in my classes.
