April 21st Presentations

Once again the presentations were all very interesting and each took a very different approach to different topics in education. Before today, I didn't know anything about the Genocide in Darfur. I think Malika has an excellent topic but it is just finding a way to include all the material and relate to education. Maybe an article on genocide awareness could be used to find out how much people actually know about genocides in general. And this could focus your topic to genocide awareness in education and the genocide of Darfur. Lauren has a strong basis already for ADHD in education. To strengthen ideas I would include, like some of the class mentioned, more information regarding the over diagnosis and prescribing of medication as well as the parents who don't necessarily take responsibility to help their children. Finally Joyce has a very interesting topic that is also new to me. I think maybe in order to focus more Joyce could use non-traditional approaches to education and how these ultimately affect student success in higher education. Each presentation is very strong and everyone did a good job today!
