50 Shades of Students

I thought that this video was really interesting and corresponded to the idea of a "spectrum" of students. Whether you are talking about disabilities, gender, sexuality, race, etc. I believe that talking to students about where they may fall on a spectrum would be a pretty powerful lesson for the first day of class. Just something to keep in mind.

    "visibility really is key. familiarity really is the key to empathy. Once an issue pops up in your own backyard or or amongst your own family, you are more likely to explore sympathy for it or explore new perspectives."
