If anything, it fuels them to push and achieve their goals with our without their disability. If I am to have a student with a disability, I want the other students to be welcoming. I won't want to make them feel like an outlier, but just like the other students. ]]> 2017-10-24 03:01:26 UTC https://padlet.com/jlmacmillan1/g6to5zdql2up/wish/199838011 aamuhvic https://padlet.com/jlmacmillan1/g6to5zdql2up/wish/200003145 I think the way these people are working through it is by accepting that fact they might be slightly different but not letting a disability become their identity. I commend them for not just settling for the life society provides them as disabled but seeking out ways to live life just like anyone else. My classroom can be modeled to include everyone by creating a space that has open room for movement if students need to be in wheelchairs or have the earge to roam around. I could add in carpets to make the floor softer in the case someone has a seizure and we could all sit on the floor then for class sometimes to eliminate the barriers desk's create.]]> 2017-10-24 14:24:42 UTC https://padlet.com/jlmacmillan1/g6to5zdql2up/wish/200003145 https://padlet.com/jlmacmillan1/g6to5zdql2up/wish/200181547 The people in these videos view there disability as a way to improve themselves. The disability is viewed as a challenge so that they can better themselves, and to have fun with it. Workout Zach used his disability as a way to "laugh" at it & say this is not going to stop me from doing what I want. He might have CP, but he tries new things that might be hard, but that will only make you stronger. ]]> 2017-10-24 19:36:24 UTC https://padlet.com/jlmacmillan1/g6to5zdql2up/wish/200181547 sevans514 https://padlet.com/jlmacmillan1/g6to5zdql2up/wish/200190964 These people don't think of themselves as not able to do things. They are all happy to just be able to do the things they can. Some use humor and encouraging others, or different advances in technology in order to do things they otherwise wouldn't be able to do. They know sometimes they may need help or to crawl instead of walk but they don't get upset or discouraged, they just have fun. They don't see their disability as a restriction in life.]]> 2017-10-24 20:04:34 UTC https://padlet.com/jlmacmillan1/g6to5zdql2up/wish/200190964 whitelog0316 https://padlet.com/jlmacmillan1/g6to5zdql2up/wish/200253620 The way these people approach their disabilities is truly amazing. They see do not see their disabilities as something that holds them back from anything. The child thought it was so cool to have that awesome hat on! The girl swimming in the water is very brave because I would never do something like that. The man who created the workout video really proved that comment wrong too. As educators we should never look away from a student with a disability because there is always a way to implement a tactic so the student can participate in the classroom. My classroom could physically be set up so anyone at any height or if they are in a wheelchair can reach a certain item without having to ask for help. If the student can feel strong enough to gather the item themselves they would feel more at home. ]]> 2017-10-25 02:18:05 UTC https://padlet.com/jlmacmillan1/g6to5zdql2up/wish/200253620 scott7048 https://padlet.com/jlmacmillan1/g6to5zdql2up/wish/200980471 The difficulties that these people overcome to live their lives is astounding. To most people, scuba diving would be impossible to someone that is confined to a wheelchair so there would be no point in attempting to accommodate someone. Before watching the video I would have firmly stated that it would be impossible for someone to do this. The workout video was also very impressive as the comment that the workout was derived from was clearly meant as an insult. While I can not do anything as extravagant as having my students go scuba diving, I can certainly make sure that my classroom is designed in a way that allows all of my students to achieve the same things. ]]> 2017-10-26 18:36:10 UTC https://padlet.com/jlmacmillan1/g6to5zdql2up/wish/200980471 jlshellabarg https://padlet.com/jlmacmillan1/g6to5zdql2up/wish/201040003 I was at a loss for words when I saw the girl in the wheelchair underwater. It was so beautiful and moving. The video of her motivates me to do things people do not think I can do. I can model my classroom by always doing activities and lessons where everyone can participate. I will adjust my lesson plan and my class room so that everyone can take part and be able to reach and use supplies.]]> 2017-10-26 21:48:11 UTC https://padlet.com/jlmacmillan1/g6to5zdql2up/wish/201040003 slwebb2017 https://padlet.com/jlmacmillan1/g6to5zdql2up/wish/201041059 I thought the girl scuba diving in a wheelchair was really cool. I don't think I'll be taking my students scuba diving, but it was cool to know that it was possible. I really like how Zach got his workout idea from someone who was intentionally trying to be mean and Zach did not let it phase him. I think having a positive attitude and not assuming that any student in my classroom can't do something will be a key part of my classroom practices. Also ensuring that I will have any extra materials that a student may need to complete an activity even if their peers do not need the same things.]]> 2017-10-26 21:56:20 UTC https://padlet.com/jlmacmillan1/g6to5zdql2up/wish/201041059 nakrumm https://padlet.com/jlmacmillan1/g6to5zdql2up/wish/201041307 I really enjoyed the Workout Wednesday #2 video. The comment at the beginning was very rude but I loved how it did not stop our man from using the treadmill and creating an A+ workout video. Positive attitudes such as his are the best way to help include everyone in your classroom. Adjusting lesson plans is helpful but an overall positive approach is always needed in situations. ]]> 2017-10-26 21:58:17 UTC https://padlet.com/jlmacmillan1/g6to5zdql2up/wish/201041307 reedsinger1 https://padlet.com/jlmacmillan1/g6to5zdql2up/wish/201044649 I think that it is cool the way they work around their disability! I thought that the underwater wheelchair was cool and enjoyed it. I think that I could adjust my lesson plans to suit one of my students who is disabled. Just like Zach said, "you need to have a positive attitude and it will work out". ]]> 2017-10-26 22:25:04 UTC https://padlet.com/jlmacmillan1/g6to5zdql2up/wish/201044649 chesterthefourth https://padlet.com/jlmacmillan1/g6to5zdql2up/wish/201047686 The fact that these people are doing what they are doing to the extent that they are doing it translates to me having absolutely no excuse as to why I wouldn't have an inclusive classroom. These people utilize their disability to make a better them. Whether it be by having the most positive, genuine attitude or scuba diving (something I don't think I could ever do- it terrifies me). They make themselves into stronger individuals and it is amazing. ]]> 2017-10-26 22:54:04 UTC https://padlet.com/jlmacmillan1/g6to5zdql2up/wish/201047686 ljmarsh https://padlet.com/jlmacmillan1/g6to5zdql2up/wish/201048682 The idea that these people are living their lives and not letting their disabilities slow them down is amazing and such and inspiration to so many people. To make my classroom include everyone I would make it so everything is accessible as possible and try to include everyone in the lesson]]> 2017-10-26 23:02:40 UTC https://padlet.com/jlmacmillan1/g6to5zdql2up/wish/201048682 cwsteele https://padlet.com/jlmacmillan1/g6to5zdql2up/wish/201053148 I thought it was simply beautiful that the people depicted in the videos were so positive about their disability. It was so eye opening because generally disabilities have a negative connotation associated with them. But, in these videos such as the seizure information video, the children seemed very warm and friendly while explaining their disability. I saw this especially in the video in the hospital. If I was a child and was watching this video I would feel very comfortable and safe (I felt this while watching)

I was surprised at how they are living positively. Even if they have some kind of disability, they are enjoying what they can do. To include everyone in my classroom, I would like everyone in my classroom know each other's good points. In that way, I believe everyone can respect each other and feel comfortable being in the classroom.]]> 2017-10-27 00:47:48 UTC https://padlet.com/jlmacmillan1/g6to5zdql2up/wish/201060681 nkern1998 https://padlet.com/jlmacmillan1/g6to5zdql2up/wish/201062558 The way that the people in these videos work around their disabilities and live their lives to the fullest is truly inspiring. They take things that would limit their possibilities in life and make the most out of them and allow themselves to experience things that many people would say that they could never do. Like in these videos, the classroom should be modeled in a manner so that disabled students are able to do anything that other students would be able to do.]]> 2017-10-27 01:05:49 UTC https://padlet.com/jlmacmillan1/g6to5zdql2up/wish/201062558 rlechner https://padlet.com/jlmacmillan1/g6to5zdql2up/wish/201065988 I loved watching these videos as It warmed my heart that these people were living their lives to the fullest despite a challenge that many would not be able to look past. My favorite video was of the man who used humor to overcome his disability. I have always been somebody who has believed in the power of humor. In order to make my classroom inclusive to everyone, I will strive to include every student, even those with disabilities, in everything that we do in class. After I do my best to accommodate to disabled students, if the student determines they are unable to participate then the decision is their own.]]> 2017-10-27 01:32:44 UTC https://padlet.com/jlmacmillan1/g6to5zdql2up/wish/201065988 jebabbitt https://padlet.com/jlmacmillan1/g6to5zdql2up/wish/201073346 The first two videos were great, showing how people with disabilities can do things they love and life a full life. Especially the video of the girl scuba diving in her chair, with a rig she built on her chair allowed her to do something she obviously loved to do. The third on the other hand I found hard to watch, I didn't finish it because to me personally, I felt as if he was making a joke about a serious thing and I couldn't watch it all because it made me uneasy and angry. I could set up my classroom to help the people with wheelchairs by making sure a desk spot will be there for him or her and also train myself on what to do if a kid has a seizure in my class. ]]> 2017-10-27 02:32:37 UTC https://padlet.com/jlmacmillan1/g6to5zdql2up/wish/201073346 ejanepuckett https://padlet.com/jlmacmillan1/g6to5zdql2up/wish/201075496 The last video was probably my favorite due to the guy's attitude about his condition and his response to the guy who was trying to make fun of his disability. Though some may have taken this video the wrong way I believe that sometimes you have to use humor and positive thinking, his inspirational quotes at the end of the video, to help yourself power through and accept your disability because it is something that you cannot get rid of. The second video was very touching, I enjoyed seeing her doing something that she loves and the fact that she made it possible to be able to do that was incredible. The first video was very informative and I liked it because the kid tried to make things less scary and more understandable for someone who did not have any previous knowledge on the subject. I can use these to help make my classroom more wheelchair accessible, as well as being able to maybe have extra padding or something around a child who is prone to seizures so that way they do not incur themselves if they do happen to fall. ]]> 2017-10-27 02:54:42 UTC https://padlet.com/jlmacmillan1/g6to5zdql2up/wish/201075496 sharvey2015 https://padlet.com/jlmacmillan1/g6to5zdql2up/wish/201076700 I think it is really empowering that they are able to still live their life by understanding their disabilities. They still can have fun, explore, and laugh. I would make art supplies more reachable and ask for sinks that are also wheelchair accessible. I'm also terrified by the idea of someone falling on the hard floor because of a seizure. I would want gym mats on the floor. It's not realistic, maybe I could have pillows? ]]> 2017-10-27 03:06:06 UTC https://padlet.com/jlmacmillan1/g6to5zdql2up/wish/201076700 wmbrink https://padlet.com/jlmacmillan1/g6to5zdql2up/wish/201081214 For me the videos where all very powerful, i noticed that in all three, the people with disabilities seemed happy. I thing its important to note that they people struggling don't necessarily have to be unhappy, given the right accommodations. In particular I liked the last video, while I didn't like the concept at first, the mans sense of humor and persistence was really powerful. I'd want all my classroom to are open and easy to move around, with everything accessible to everyone. I think it might be beneficial to talk to your schools administration to help get the appropriate accommodations necessary.  ]]> 2017-10-27 03:50:38 UTC https://padlet.com/jlmacmillan1/g6to5zdql2up/wish/201081214 nickrnagel https://padlet.com/jlmacmillan1/g6to5zdql2up/wish/201089170 These videos felt great to watch. They all looked at how people with disabilities can live their lives to the fullest. The first video was very informative on seizures and epilepsy, then showed the process of getting a scan as a fun concept. I can incorporate these disabilities by making sure there are no triggers for them in my classroom and to know who to call if I encounter a student having an issue. The next two videos show just how much people in wheelchairs can do. For this I could make sure there is easy accessibility in every activity in my class. ]]> 2017-10-27 05:24:23 UTC https://padlet.com/jlmacmillan1/g6to5zdql2up/wish/201089170 amfleckenste https://padlet.com/jlmacmillan1/g6to5zdql2up/wish/201090215 I believe that overall having the knowledge of different disabilities and the different problems a student may face in life is the first step to being able to include everyone in our classroom. I am glad that medical research and knowledge has helped many learn about their own disabilities such as the kids in the first video being able to explain seizures. I could work with them in educating the class on what they go through by either having them explain if they want or briefly discussing it in class. I believe that videos like the second one where Sue Austin is underwater in a wheelchair can be interesting to share with the class, as well, to show that despite what outwardly seems like a limiting factor to someone's life, they can still do a lot. With technology and advancement's in technology there are more and more opportunities for those who are disabled. They should not be limited in their capacities if there is a way to achieve heights such as Sue's. Then lastly, with a "positive forward thinking attitude" from Zach Anner, anyone can even take baby steps towards their goals. I think all of the attitudes of those is these videos are inspiring and can be taken into account when helping those with disabilities in our classrooms. Christi Bohn even touched on positively for teachers responses for students. These attitudes and understanding can help us include everyone in our classroom.]]> 2017-10-27 05:41:12 UTC https://padlet.com/jlmacmillan1/g6to5zdql2up/wish/201090215 mdsantin https://padlet.com/jlmacmillan1/g6to5zdql2up/wish/201193858 Overall, these videos gave out positive vibes, as the people that were included had disabilities, but they did not let that stop them from living a typical life. For example, the video about seizures made me more aware of the fact that many disabilities affect people for certain times in their lives. This video helped me to understand some of the things that children with seizures may go through, such as their treatments and everyday experiences. The underwater wheelchair video made me realize that wheelchairs are not a set back or something that causes limitations, but rather they allow people with disabilities to experience the world in their own way. The workout video also made me realize that people with disabilities can function normally, then just need to modify activities in a way that suits them. This video also made me more aware that people with disabilities do not view themselves with pity, but instead they can have a positive outlook on life. In a classroom, teachers can include everyone by making assignments accessible to all students and ensuring each child is able to move freely around the classroom. Being open to my students ideas and tips will allow me to be inclusive of all my student's needs. ]]> 2017-10-27 13:47:24 UTC https://padlet.com/jlmacmillan1/g6to5zdql2up/wish/201193858 fnchildress40 https://padlet.com/jlmacmillan1/g6to5zdql2up/wish/216023594 These videos made me think about how we should not define people by their disabilities, nor pity them for it. It blew my mind when Sue Austin used a wheel chair under water. These people thought out side of the box and where determined not to let their disabilities define them as individuals and to have a positive outlook on life. ]]> 2017-12-14 01:34:04 UTC https://padlet.com/jlmacmillan1/g6to5zdql2up/wish/216023594 zbheid https://padlet.com/jlmacmillan1/g6to5zdql2up/wish/233014633 I thought each individual found great positive an clever ways to show people their disabilities do not define them. I loved watching the under water wheel chair video where the girl did not let her disability stop her from explore the waters. It was really inspiring and help me realize I should not hold students back or think of them just as their disability. As a teacher a will find ways for these kids to be included in our activities so they do not feel left out. I will make sure these activities will be suitable for both parties so everyone has an equal learning experience.]]> 2018-02-19 18:26:05 UTC https://padlet.com/jlmacmillan1/g6to5zdql2up/wish/233014633 https://padlet.com/jlmacmillan1/g6to5zdql2up/wish/233555730 It is very inspiring to see how these people have worked around their disabilities. I want my classroom to be a place where all students, including those students with disabilities, can feel like they can do anything they set their mind too. I can make many accommodations in my classroom physically and through my instruction. I can also teach other students how to support and interact with those that do have a disability. I feel the best thing I can do though is to hold students with disabilities to the same expectations that I do with any other students. If I overcompensate for them than they will never learn to work around their disability and be independent because someone will always be doing it for them. With proper accommodations, students with disabilities can achieve anything the gen ed population can. ]]> 2018-02-20 23:44:29 UTC https://padlet.com/jlmacmillan1/g6to5zdql2up/wish/233555730 cafoote2018 https://padlet.com/jlmacmillan1/g6to5zdql2up/wish/233844005 I think it'a amazing how these people work around their disability. But they don't necessarily go "around" it. They still address their disability, include their wheelchair, make light of certain situations, etc. Their disability is just another part of them, and they don't let it stop them on what they want to do. ]]> 2018-02-21 16:46:12 UTC https://padlet.com/jlmacmillan1/g6to5zdql2up/wish/233844005 https://padlet.com/jlmacmillan1/g6to5zdql2up/wish/233926797 These videos all pertain to how these people deal with their disability. The epileptic children deal with the apprehensions of being tested with an EEG by viewing it as a fun deal, being able to watch a "light show" and wear a "funny hat." This outlook on the tests helps children fear the hospital and these tests less fearfully. Scuba diving with a mobility impairment isn't something we often think about, but the experience can be incredibly meaningful for the person. With some drive and creativity, we can make any space accessible. Zach Anner demonstrates his positive attitude here by making light of his disability, while also showing that it can be worked around. His comedy in the face of the commenter's rude remark shows us that if we look toward overcoming a disability with confidence, students need not be ashamed or disheartened by their difficulties. All of these videos show me that outlook and a drive to accommodate everyone can be life changing in the best way for disabled people.]]> 2018-02-21 18:56:33 UTC https://padlet.com/jlmacmillan1/g6to5zdql2up/wish/233926797 vmcrawford15 https://padlet.com/jlmacmillan1/g6to5zdql2up/wish/234077235 I love the positive attitudes of these individuals. The young boy participated in the creation of this video knowing it would be used to ease the nerves of other children who may be enduring the same situations. He took his knowledge and experiences of this disability and helped inform and prepare others in a fun way. The woman showed how her disability won't hold her back from doing anything in a fun and unique way. The man in the last video made an entertaining video in response to an individual trying to leave a rude comment on a previous video. I thought his response was great and showed viewers how he may have a wheelchair, but he won't be confined to that chair. I think it is important to help students with disabilities really build the confidence to embrace every part themseleves, and that they will never be defined by their disability.]]> 2018-02-22 04:17:25 UTC https://padlet.com/jlmacmillan1/g6to5zdql2up/wish/234077235 christidalton1 https://padlet.com/jlmacmillan1/g6to5zdql2up/wish/234078420 It is really inspirational to see how positive these people can be. They embrace what makes them different, and do not allow it to define who they are as a person. I have watched several videos that the gentlemen Zach has created before this class. He is a great motivational person for anybody that feels like they cannot do anything. The ways that my classroom can be modeled to include everyone would be set that mindset in the beginning of the school year. I would try my best to make sure that all interactive materials would be reachable for those that do have mobility limitations. Visuals and audio recordings would always be provided for my lessons, assignments, and test. I would try to read a diversity book at least once a week to my class. The diversity book would allow the students to see that just because a person is different, does not mean that they are less than you. It does not mean that they are not capable of achieving the same outcome in the long run. ]]> 2018-02-22 04:26:52 UTC https://padlet.com/jlmacmillan1/g6to5zdql2up/wish/234078420 darnleytaylor https://padlet.com/jlmacmillan1/g6to5zdql2up/wish/234456446 These people don't let their troubles stop them and that's such a positive ambition everyone should have. They've worked around their problem and found solutions adjusted to their needs. I think by doing so is very inspirational and can make others think outside the box as well. Classrooms can be modeled by having every follow through the same standards.. Everyone should be accountable equally regardless of who they are. Of course, activities and assignments will be adjusted universally for fair opportunities.

It's good to people that don't let their disability define them. I suppose that I could create activities that don't exclude anyone right off the bat. If somebody has a problem from there I can always work to accommodate every student. As far as specifics go I can build my curriculum to accommodate students that are blind or have low vision by having the textbook readings already in pdf and docx format to be used with screen a screenreader. There are a bunch of things like that you can do. ]]> 2018-02-22 19:56:15 UTC https://padlet.com/jlmacmillan1/g6to5zdql2up/wish/234459640 siscott https://padlet.com/jlmacmillan1/g6to5zdql2up/wish/234505594 So motivational and inspiring. I really loved the last video and thought that it could be something funny and motivating for everyone to see and enjoy. I believe that our attitude involved in the things that we do can make all the difference, and that video is a great example of how to make the best out of any situation.]]> 2018-02-22 21:43:06 UTC https://padlet.com/jlmacmillan1/g6to5zdql2up/wish/234505594 lereed2 https://padlet.com/jlmacmillan1/g6to5zdql2up/wish/234511414 I found the first video to be very relatable to many children who have to go through frequent treatment,  and establishing a way to make hostbitel's seem less scary. I found these video also to be very inspirational and touching. They prove that its unnecessary to let your weaknesses hold you back and that you can be capable of whatever you set your mind to. I love how they embrace themselves and have a very positively except their differences.

I liked the fact that the first video was explained by kids about their disability. This perspective made me think of my classroom and how I could be a help to these students. I also liked how they explained the process of an EEG to make it sound more comforting which I thought was so important especially for a child who is fearful that may watch this video. 
In the second video, I felt a sense of tranquility and freedom with the woman. I loved that despite her disability she embraced herself and found that freedom. I thought this video was touching overall.
Lastly, I absolutely loved his message of being proud of who you are and focusing on the progress you've made. This message can be applied to anyone but, it's even more motivating coming from him because despite his disability, he had the positive mindset that is so hard to achieve even for anyone facing trials in their lives. That positive mindset is incredibly difficult to keep when others try to tear you down. The fact he could turn this negative comment into something positive that can motivate others as well is encouraging. ]]> 2018-02-23 03:10:19 UTC https://padlet.com/jlmacmillan1/g6to5zdql2up/wish/234563578 veoutcalt https://padlet.com/jlmacmillan1/g6to5zdql2up/wish/234565802 These videos were incredibly moving, I love how in each one the person was able to overcome their disability and show they are capable of doing the same things as everyone else; just in a different way.  Their positivity really touched my heart, and made me feel that anything is possible.  In my classroom, I would want everyone to keep a positive attitude, an open mind, and to listen to others so everyone can be included.

Especially in the last one. I have seen this man's videos before and he always has a great attitude. He is an individual bound be a wheel chair, and yet still manages to walk on a treadmill and give other people inspiration while doing it. I loved the video of the woman scuba-diving as well. I was surprised when I saw it, I thought the weight of the chair would make it difficult to move, even under water. But then I was like, "You go girlfriend!" I'm not sure how to make my room accommodating for student's like this yet. I would just need to take it on a case by case basis, but I do know that I would do everything I could to be accommodating]]> 2018-02-24 02:56:27 UTC https://padlet.com/jlmacmillan1/g6to5zdql2up/wish/234943761 https://padlet.com/jlmacmillan1/g6to5zdql2up/wish/234994750 These videos are incredibly inspiring. I feel like they are relatable to those with disabilities. I was very surprised to see the man get out of his wheel chair and walk on the treadmill. I was not expecting to see that he had some use of his legs. This alone made me extremely inspired. I, one that doesn't have a disability, makes excuses for something that seems too hard for me to do but this man has every reason to say no i can not do that but he didn't let his disabilities stop him. This inspired me to try harder even if i feel like it is the impossible. ]]> 2018-02-24 15:40:08 UTC https://padlet.com/jlmacmillan1/g6to5zdql2up/wish/234994750 https://padlet.com/jlmacmillan1/g6to5zdql2up/wish/235047792 These videos are all incredibly inspiring. They each show how these individuals go about doing things that we normally wouldn't associate them with such as, going scuba diving or doing exercises. I would make my classroom a place where everyone can do and access everything with ease]]> 2018-02-25 04:05:34 UTC https://padlet.com/jlmacmillan1/g6to5zdql2up/wish/235047792 https://padlet.com/jlmacmillan1/g6to5zdql2up/wish/235096853 All of these individuals not only participated in the activities they wanted to, they used their disability to their advantage. The women in the wheelchair attached large plastic fins to her chair to allow for gliding through the water. The man in the WOW videos is using his disability as a means of education and humor; as far as I can tell, he is leading a successful YouTube career. When I sit down to create my lesson plans and brainstorm ideas for active learning, I need to always consider the possible barriers for students to participate. In terms of set-up, band rooms usually have some terracing; I need to make sure there are accessible ramps. I could invest in instrument stands to assist with holding instruments up, and adopt mentoring programs to have advanced students give lessons and assistance to students who might fall behind. ]]> 2018-02-25 14:59:58 UTC https://padlet.com/jlmacmillan1/g6to5zdql2up/wish/235096853 shelbyping13 https://padlet.com/jlmacmillan1/g6to5zdql2up/wish/235116068 These videos were incredibly touching and inspiring. All of the videos addressed how people with visible impairments effect their everyday lives and how they cope. The children are tested to find out how severe their seizures are and are given medication to help them. The woman in the wheelchair did not let her impairments keep her from what she loved. She added fins to her wheelchair so that it could glide with her thought the water as she scuba dived. The man in the WOW videos was incredibly inspiring. He took a mean spirited comment and used it as a basis for an inspiring video. He told everyone that they should be proud of themselves and love themselves. He seems to be leading a successful YouTube career and focuses on fitness videos. As an art teacher I need to make sure that all materials are accessible to students with impairments and arrange the room so that students with wheelchairs can navigate the classroom. ]]> 2018-02-25 17:34:32 UTC https://padlet.com/jlmacmillan1/g6to5zdql2up/wish/235116068 mnkarre https://padlet.com/jlmacmillan1/g6to5zdql2up/wish/235136973 My favorite part about these videos is their ability to show that people with disabilities can do everything that people without disabilities can do, just a little differently. I would hope that these videos inspire others to get out and explore and do what they want to do regardless of their setbacks. My classroom can be modeled so that all supplies and knowledge is given an equal advantage and accessibility. I can do this by practicing universal design. ]]> 2018-02-25 19:59:01 UTC https://padlet.com/jlmacmillan1/g6to5zdql2up/wish/235136973 https://padlet.com/jlmacmillan1/g6to5zdql2up/wish/235748143 It is inspiring that people with disabilities don't quit, and they still try to do everything. They do everything against all odds whether it is swimming in the ocean or running on a treadmill. My class can include everyone by not excluding student but allowing them to participate and experience the feeling all the other students are feeling. This will require some background knowledge on the student and what they are capable of. I can prepare for students by planning my curriculum around universal design.]]> 2018-02-27 07:26:57 UTC https://padlet.com/jlmacmillan1/g6to5zdql2up/wish/235748143 https://padlet.com/jlmacmillan1/g6to5zdql2up/wish/235942140 It is so encouraging to see how positive and hopeful these videos are. I think a lot of the time people who do not have disabilities believe that individuals who have disabilities can not lead an enriched life and that is simply not true! With the proper support, positivity, and resources people who have disabilities can do incredible things. My classroom will follow universal design. The environment will be positive and supportive of all students. I will celebrate differences and encourage all students to embrace what makes them different. ]]> 2018-02-27 15:44:17 UTC https://padlet.com/jlmacmillan1/g6to5zdql2up/wish/235942140 kaci_l_alvarez https://padlet.com/jlmacmillan1/g6to5zdql2up/wish/236751504 These videos really warmed my heart. Seeing these people positively working with their disability was so touching and full of hope. The last video especially was really nice, since the original comment was made to be mean, but he took it and turned it positive. In my classroom, I will definitely work hard to include everyone and make sure everyone feels safe and welcome in my classroom.]]> 2018-03-01 02:21:55 UTC https://padlet.com/jlmacmillan1/g6to5zdql2up/wish/236751504
