The group differences forum was the perfect way to end class. I learned countless amounts of information that I would have never known had we not discussed the topics we did in class. Everything we discussed was relevant to our future careers as teachers and it brought up so many great points we should all consider and be aware of going into this field. The information that stuck out the most in my learning experience through the forum is the information on Appalachia. It was probably my favorite topic that we discussed as a group. I would have liked to know even more about ablism as well as ELL. I feel like both of those topics are prevalent in the classrooms of our future. The information in the forum was helpful because it brought to light many things I had never considered as an educator and I'm glad we did so I know what to prepare myself for. I will now be much more aware with a child that may have special needs to be met in my classroom. I think I would have enjoyed reading at least two articles because despite my lack of knowledge in almost all subject areas, I would have liked something to be added to the discussions more. As opposed to not speaking at all and holidng in your tongue. I really enjoyed the questions answered by the two teachers that Anne had come in because they were very honest and knowledgeable about what they were talking about and their passion for teaching. Overall, I really enjoyed the forum and I wish my other classes decided to be constructed in this way.
