It was really cool to see how the speaker made the audience felt learning disabled. I saw this video in training for doing a placement at the Centre for Students with Disabilities. It's a very good video to help teachers understand what it's like to have a learning disability.
The movie really made me realize how students with learning disabilities actually feel and learn. I like how they put professionals into the place of them and they were made to feel how the students feel. It opened my eyes a bit to the reality of disabilities
I have seen this video in the past while training for the Centre for Students with Disabilities and watching it again I still feel like this is a really good video. I loved that the participants in this video actually got to see what it was like to have a disability. I think it would be interesting to take part in some of these activities and experience it first hand. It was definitely informative on how to act and how not to act.
Telling the story without the letter "n" showed just how difficult it is for students to process the question, let alone answer the question. Good activity. Would it be appropriate to used with a class to help them understand the LD student?
I really liked how the presenter put the people in the real life situations in order to make them understand all aspects of what the LD students feel everyday.I thought it was also an eye opener, for me, because the presenter went over small daily habits, which have such a large impact on the LD students and how they function.
This video gave me a new perspective on how to approach teaching especially in a classroom with students with learning disability. I liked how he made the adults experience what it's like to have difficulty learning and then react the way most teachers would react which is impatiently. There was a lot of ideas thrown at us and it was a very informative video. (Melissa)
I am impressed! I really have a learning moment. Thanks for showing us. I wonder the teachers who graduated in the 80's must be shown so that my teachers would be much more open minded. I hope the TCs this year would remember for the life time. Thanks
I thought it was very effective getting the audience to feel as if they had the learning disabilities that some of their students have. Watching the video I also felt that I had a learning diability, and that the speaker was going way too fast, and I saw how anxiety could make the students not understand the story. This is useful insight to see what students may be going through.
I thought this was a very powerful video. What I liked about it, is putting the teachers and parents in the shoes of a LD child. Personally I think it is the only way to truly see how the child is feeling. If you grow up without a LD, how can you know what it is like? So by putting them in that situation,it makes a huge leap on being able to understand what they are going through.
I think this is an amazing video and would like a copy of it. Although I looked it up and it is 49.99 online. I think that every new teacher should watch this movie, as it helps you empathize with LD students, which is you are not one, its basically impossible to understand what they are going through. I am very happy I had the opportunity to watch this video, and want to share it with my colleagues who have never seen it.
I had a lot of laughs with the video but it definitely brought to light issues I had never thought about before. It will hopefully change how I approach teaching all children, including my own.
It was really like an eye-opener. It made so much sense, And like I dont know from personal experience I can kind of know how teachers normally react to disruptive students. But now looking through the kids eyes, wow it is difficult, I would like to go to that workshop. Students want to learn its just that they need time, or other adjusted techniques like visual or auditory. I like how there has been improvement for this topic
The workshop was very eye opening. Especially the part where the instructor asked the `students` to try and read the sentences with the b,d,p, and q `s written improperly. I was trying to read along when they showed it and it was very hard. If this is how students with learning disabilities read than it would be very understandable that they would most likely get frustrated. Another thing that stood out is how when a teacher is angry at a student and tells them to look at them, even though the natural human response is to look away. This is something that parents do as well, but probably never thought of.
Fantastic insightful footage on stepping into the shoes of the child with LD. It really gives you an excellent point of view of students who have an LD as to how they perceive instruction from a teacher. The processing time for these special students is enormous. Many teachers even today ignore them, or think they are being funny or giving them a hard time. It is an eye opener for everyone. All teachers should be made to view this DVD.
I liked how the presenter approached the topic by putting adults of different disciplines that would be working with children in the position of a student with a learning disability. I felt it gave a lot of perspective on what those students experience in the average classroom setting. Some of the things he did were very obvious "don'ts", so I think it would have been beneficial if he had touched more on more discrete "don'ts".
It is amazing to see all of the different ways that students can have a learning disability. What a moving experience it must have been for the teachers and the parents who were involved in the simulation; so much so that I wish I could have been a part of it. The jumbling of the written letters and the non-use of the letter 'n' activities were such good examples of what can go on.
It makes me realize that the time that we give and the way that we react as teachers (even if a small reaction) can have such an effect on students who may be struggling because of something that isn't their fault.
It was really interesting to see the techniques that the presenter used put the adults in the shoes of an LD child. It was interesting to see them react the way you would expect an LD child to react when you do some of those things in a classroom setting. I like his comments about a lot of the things that we do to students that actually does a lot more bad than good. Lots of interesting scenarios and definitely makes you reflect on how you would feel if you were in the situation.
This was a very interesting and insightful video. It takes you into the world of a "disabled" child and gives you first hand experience with the difficulties they face each and everyday. I had a prior understanding of LD students as I have an autistic cousin and I am even more convinced to help them out to the best of my ability. I think they require extra time and patience and as teachers we need to create a classroom environment that accommodates their special needs.
Zahid Panchbhaya I learned that you should tell a student with a learning disability that when your near there desk, you'll ask them a question, but when u walk away, the student should focus their energy on understanding the material rather then worry on answering questions. I also learned that you can do 1 cognitive task at a time, while having multiple associative tasks but can change in certain situations.
I thought this video was excellent. It brought issues to my attention that I had never considered before. For instance, I didn't realize that for some students, talking was a cognitive process. I think this video makes you empathize with students with learning disabilities and really put yourself in their shoes. I think this video helped me to understand learning disabled students better and see the world through their eyes. I hope I can find ways to make my classroom an environment that is fair to all students.
It was interesting to observe the many ways in which the instructor was able to make the “students” feel as if they had a learning disability. We were able to realize that there is so much more to the students and their capability when it comes to the different tasks that they were exposed to. The video definitely enforces you to take the initiate to approach the students using various methods. It also forces us to realize that many aspects of our lessons have to be modified or accommodate the students learning needs.
The video gave a great perspective on how students with disabilities can feel in the classroom. Also it gave a lot of great ideas on how to help students with disabilities but I would change how they call/label the students. In the video, he called the students with disabilities "retards" or the disabled children whereas now we do not label the child as the disability, we say the child WITH the disability.

ReplyDeleteEven LD or non-LD students suffer the same attack because it is the way the presenter is teaching. It reminds me of my schooling career.
ReplyDeleteI am impressed!
