ED117 - Teaching Gen Y Students

I appreciated the opportunity this course provided to reflect on the characteristics of the 4 generations (veterans, baby boomers, Gen X and Gen Y) and apply some strategies that can be incorporated into my instructional planning. I really liked the concept of the "performance contract" to help the students take more ownership of their learning and setting goals for more effective study habits and class participation. Knowing that relevancy is VITAL to Gen Y students helped to reinforce my use of clinical experience and giving context to why they need to know this info/lesson for their career during my instruction. As a late "baby boomer"/early Gen X instructor who teaches to primarily Gen Y and some late Gen X students in a healthcare career college, I found this course very insightful and helpful.
