By the end I just had to laugh!" ]]> 2021-06-15 23:20:28 UTC https://padlet.com/agiroux9/ispnkhbntxvz46z1/wish/1608642272 https://padlet.com/agiroux9/ispnkhbntxvz46z1/wish/1622037869 I followed for about three of the little clips, but after that there was too much noise that I stopped listening to anything. After the music started, that was really all I could hear and I enjoyed that little video. Overall, I think I take for granted how easy it can be to focus for some people and difficult it can be for others. I think I need to be more patient with my students with ADHD]]> 2021-06-23 17:03:23 UTC https://padlet.com/agiroux9/ispnkhbntxvz46z1/wish/1622037869 https://padlet.com/agiroux9/ispnkhbntxvz46z1/wish/1622056728 It was very overwhelming to see how much noise there was all at once. About 4 distractions in I could not keep track of the main speaker. ]]> 2021-06-23 17:15:53 UTC https://padlet.com/agiroux9/ispnkhbntxvz46z1/wish/1622056728 hmorris37 https://padlet.com/agiroux9/ispnkhbntxvz46z1/wish/1622056969 My heart goes out to those with ADHD. It was difficult for me to concentrate with just two videos playing. I can only imagine the possible frustration simulated by all of the videos playing. I hope that students with ADHD feel proud of themselves for working through this influx of stimulation and distractions. In my classroom, I hope to establish a comfortable space where students can limit their distractions and feel empowered to confidently let themselves shine through.]]> 2021-06-23 17:16:03 UTC https://padlet.com/agiroux9/ispnkhbntxvz46z1/wish/1622056969 https://padlet.com/agiroux9/ispnkhbntxvz46z1/wish/1622060562 This video made me consider how many UDL approaches and strategies would be useful for creating an environment that is not only ideal for students with ADHD but also for students who would prefer to learn in with limited distractions. I do my best work in a calm environment, so I somewhat subconsciously create this for my students this year -- and many commented that they appreciated it! ]]> 2021-06-23 17:18:35 UTC https://padlet.com/agiroux9/ispnkhbntxvz46z1/wish/1622060562 rcozzi1 https://padlet.com/agiroux9/ispnkhbntxvz46z1/wish/1622066486 I got so overwhelmed right away! I was also almost entertained by all of the videos that were going on, as well as the music that played. It was pretty sobering at the end though, when he said something along the lines of "I hope you were paying attention because that was very important" and my heart dropped. I realized that in class, I am sure that some of my students felt the same. I definitely would give out important instructions verbally and say something along those lines and it must have been really tough for my students with ADHD. I need to make sure that I am more patient and cognizant of how my words and language can impact my struggling students.]]> 2021-06-23 17:22:20 UTC https://padlet.com/agiroux9/ispnkhbntxvz46z1/wish/1622066486 https://padlet.com/agiroux9/ispnkhbntxvz46z1/wish/1622075819 As the video went on, I became more and more overwhelmed. My first instinct was to turn the volume all the way down and shut the video off, and this idea made me consider how those with ADHD do not have the option to turn the volume down. They don't have the choice to shut off the distractions in their head just because they want to focus. If anything, watching this video has instilled in me a deep sense of sympathy for those who struggle with this daily battle.]]> 2021-06-23 17:28:24 UTC https://padlet.com/agiroux9/ispnkhbntxvz46z1/wish/1622075819 https://padlet.com/agiroux9/ispnkhbntxvz46z1/wish/1622085314 During the ADHD simulation, I felt very frustrated. I wanted to focus on what the main lecturer was saying, but couldn't as there were so many other clips going on that I also wanted to pay attention too. I was also frustrated that the sounds were all coming in at once and became hard to decipher between. ]]> 2021-06-23 17:33:51 UTC https://padlet.com/agiroux9/ispnkhbntxvz46z1/wish/1622085314 https://padlet.com/agiroux9/ispnkhbntxvz46z1/wish/1622088076 I found myself focusing in on each new thought until another new thought popped up. I stopped paying attention to the main informative prat of the video within seconds. At one point, I realized I should be paying attention to the main video and literally couldn't because of all of the other sounds and images to focus on. I cannot imagine how frustrating that would be while sitting in a classroom knowing that it was near impossible for me to focus in on the content and directions that I needed to know. ]]> 2021-06-23 17:35:44 UTC https://padlet.com/agiroux9/ispnkhbntxvz46z1/wish/1622088076 dguobadi https://padlet.com/agiroux9/ispnkhbntxvz46z1/wish/1622102778 This video was truly eye-opening. It is hard to imagine how frustrating life could be if that video was your everyday reality. It was almost impossible to keep my eyes on the main speaker let alone hear the speaker. I felt an overwhelming need to filter out the noise, but that just wasn't possible.]]> 2021-06-23 17:45:26 UTC https://padlet.com/agiroux9/ispnkhbntxvz46z1/wish/1622102778 dalya14 https://padlet.com/agiroux9/ispnkhbntxvz46z1/wish/1622112307 Watching the video, I was very frustrated and overwhelmed all at once. While I wanted to be focused on the main speaker, it was quite impossible for me to feel like I could hear anything he was saying at all. Everything was so distracting that I couldn't pay attention to one single thing, and I found myself not thinking about anything in front of me at all. I could only imagine how my students feel every day in class if their minds are going through something like this regularly. ]]> 2021-06-23 17:51:58 UTC https://padlet.com/agiroux9/ispnkhbntxvz46z1/wish/1622112307 https://padlet.com/agiroux9/ispnkhbntxvz46z1/wish/1622113024 One thing that the video made me think about is how the chaos of this experience manifests into one's physical reactions and behaviors. Not only does this all create  enormous stress when trying to pay attention in a classroom setting (who likes to feel that overwhelmed and distracted and then be told that the information they missed is very important?), but also in interactions with peers. Holding conversations can be just as difficult as trying to zone in on a lecture and often people misinterpret distraction as rudeness or being "weird." There are so many layers for people with ADHD to overcome both academically and socially. With all the noise and stimulation, it's so easy to disengage and zone out.]]> 2021-06-23 17:52:29 UTC https://padlet.com/agiroux9/ispnkhbntxvz46z1/wish/1622113024 jdooley31 https://padlet.com/agiroux9/ispnkhbntxvz46z1/wish/1622114512 This video made me think about what is going on in my students' minds while sitting in class.]]> 2021-06-23 17:53:35 UTC https://padlet.com/agiroux9/ispnkhbntxvz46z1/wish/1622114512 crudden6 https://padlet.com/agiroux9/ispnkhbntxvz46z1/wish/1622130050 Pretty much as soon as one of the other videos came on, I missed every single thing the original speaker said. It was so frustrating wanting to know what was being said in each of those boxes by each person, but not being able to attend to a single one over the cacophony of noises coming from all the other boxes. I can now better sympathize with one of my students trying to sit in a lecture class or even just carry on a conversation with one person.]]> 2021-06-23 18:04:32 UTC https://padlet.com/agiroux9/ispnkhbntxvz46z1/wish/1622130050 lfraher1 https://padlet.com/agiroux9/ispnkhbntxvz46z1/wish/1622137041 The video was annoying but thought provoking. I tried turning the volume down a few times, but I realized each time that I wasn’t getting the full experience, and I would turn it back up. I was surprised you could not isolate the words from any video. Nevertheless, I am more empathetic. I have often been impressed with students for being aware of their surroundings and viewed my lack of being aware as a fault.  Noting my own tendencies, I need to ask or observe what are possible distractions and remove them.]]> 2021-06-23 18:09:39 UTC https://padlet.com/agiroux9/ispnkhbntxvz46z1/wish/1622137041 https://padlet.com/agiroux9/ispnkhbntxvz46z1/wish/1622160041 This video made my brain hurt. All of the noise in the background made it nearly impossible to pay attention to the central video I was supposed to watch. My eyes darted from one action or sound to the next, and it was extremely difficult to decide which was the most important to focus on. 

I also thought of my diagnosed and potentially yet-to-be diagnosed students with ADHD. While I tried to accommodate for them, I had not idea how to effectively do so because I couldn't understand what being in class felt like for them until watching this video. After watching, I now have a better sense of their experience, and therefore feel better prepared to support these students. ]]> 2021-06-23 18:27:01 UTC https://padlet.com/agiroux9/ispnkhbntxvz46z1/wish/1622160041 shand21 https://padlet.com/agiroux9/ispnkhbntxvz46z1/wish/1622200523 This was so much more intense than I expected it to be. At the very beginning, I thought, "This will be fine. It might be annoying, but I can handle it." For the first couple of videos, I could stay focused on the main video, but by about video 3 or 4 I became incredibly lost. It was just impossible to hear anything at all. No matter how hard I tried (and trust me, I tried) I just couldn't refocus. It was so annoying to then end the video with "I hope you were listening! If not, well, too bad." I have so much more sympathy for my students with ADHD now and I will definitely be more cognizant about the way I speak about attention in the classroom.]]> 2021-06-23 18:58:45 UTC https://padlet.com/agiroux9/ispnkhbntxvz46z1/wish/1622200523 twelter2 https://padlet.com/agiroux9/ispnkhbntxvz46z1/wish/1622256043 I went into this video thinking that each successive video would grab my attention until the next video came on the screen, so I tried to really focus on the main clip. However, I soon got lost in the mass of distractions, gave up, and finally screamed at the top of my lungs, "what's going on?" ]]> 2021-06-23 19:43:16 UTC https://padlet.com/agiroux9/ispnkhbntxvz46z1/wish/1622256043 https://padlet.com/agiroux9/ispnkhbntxvz46z1/wish/1622256658 The video helped me truly understand what it would be like to have ADHD. It made me more empathetic towards my students. I think the video also demonstrated that showing is better than telling. Reading about the characteristics of ADHD isn't a replacement for a simulation. I'm curious how the video would change for students with different levels or types of ADHD. I'm also curious how a student with ADHD would perceive things at different parts of the day, or if they were on medication versus not on medication. ]]> 2021-06-23 19:43:50 UTC https://padlet.com/agiroux9/ispnkhbntxvz46z1/wish/1622256658 https://padlet.com/agiroux9/ispnkhbntxvz46z1/wish/1622261579 This video felt overstimulating and extremely chaotic. I thought it was interesting how both visual and auditory stimuli, of very different natures, kept popping up around the main lecturer. These sights and sounds made it impossible to focus on what he was saying. The video was a great insight into the everyday experience of people with ADHD. Now I understand a little better why it is so important to keep the classroom environment predictable and structured.]]> 2021-06-23 19:48:18 UTC https://padlet.com/agiroux9/ispnkhbntxvz46z1/wish/1622261579 https://padlet.com/agiroux9/ispnkhbntxvz46z1/wish/1622265707 The video was chaotic and extremely difficult to follow. Throughout the video my thought was that I would track the next video that was added but once I found one that was interesting I tried to just stay with that video. It was a challenge to keep that video in my mind while also trying to check out any of the other videos. I was frustrated with myself for not being able to follow the original video because that was probably the most important one. No matter how many times that I watch it, I do not think my odds will improve for comprehension.

Similar to Tyus, I thought if I could focus hard enough, that maybe I could keep up with the multiple screens and process each one at once. After the 4th screen came in, I gave up and threw my laptop threw the window. Safe to say I will be taking notes from a pen and paper tomorrow. ]]> 2021-06-23 20:26:10 UTC https://padlet.com/agiroux9/ispnkhbntxvz46z1/wish/1622299729 kwalsh92 https://padlet.com/agiroux9/ispnkhbntxvz46z1/wish/1622368553 This video was impossible to sit through. It reminded me of this photo. It just goes to show how important our job of keeping things simple, organized, and straightforward is. We have a duty to provide a calming environment for our students and be empathetic to whatever they may have going on in their heads. ]]> 2021-06-23 21:39:56 UTC https://padlet.com/agiroux9/ispnkhbntxvz46z1/wish/1622368553 https://padlet.com/agiroux9/ispnkhbntxvz46z1/wish/1622589184 There was simply too much going on in this video. IMPOSSIBLE to understand anything the guy was saying no matter how hard I focused. I can't imagine how many distractions there are in my classroom that could affect students with ADHD or other learning needs. ]]> 2021-06-24 00:52:26 UTC https://padlet.com/agiroux9/ispnkhbntxvz46z1/wish/1622589184 https://padlet.com/agiroux9/ispnkhbntxvz46z1/wish/1622716240 This video representation brought to light the analogy Dr. Bonfiglio made about the student always hearing the fan... but multiplied it to the tenth degree. I also felt it powerful to read some of the comments and see how some of the viewers with ADHD felt thankful and relieved to have a way for others to understand the frustrations they feel on a daily basis.]]> 2021-06-24 02:03:49 UTC https://padlet.com/agiroux9/ispnkhbntxvz46z1/wish/1622716240 https://padlet.com/agiroux9/ispnkhbntxvz46z1/wish/1622839757 This video was hard to sit through. I began to feel overwhelmed and wanted it to stop playing.

There was a lot going on and it was hard to track the message. I was very distraught and walked away feeling a little dead inside. I should go to sleep now.]]> 2021-06-24 03:21:06 UTC https://padlet.com/agiroux9/ispnkhbntxvz46z1/wish/1622851782 https://padlet.com/agiroux9/ispnkhbntxvz46z1/wish/1622858191 This video was definitely overwhelming. A couple videos in I was thinking this was definitely distracting, but somewhat bearable, but then after the pan started banging and thereafter it was just a struggle. I had to turn the volume down on my headphones since it was so much. I'm wondering whether this would be a considered a more extreme case of ADHD or if in general this is what students are facing regularly. ]]> 2021-06-24 03:25:14 UTC https://padlet.com/agiroux9/ispnkhbntxvz46z1/wish/1622858191 https://padlet.com/agiroux9/ispnkhbntxvz46z1/wish/1622896232 The video was difficult to listen to, and the cacophony of noise was nearly unbearable. It was difficult to understand what anyone was saying and very frustrating to know that the speaker was providing some important information but not to be able to make out what he was saying. The video provides an excellent insight into what the life of a student with ADHD might look like. What is heart-wrenching to me is that some of my students face this challenge on a daily basis.]]> 2021-06-24 03:51:47 UTC https://padlet.com/agiroux9/ispnkhbntxvz46z1/wish/1622896232 wgannon2 https://padlet.com/agiroux9/ispnkhbntxvz46z1/wish/1623626949 That video was quite overwhelming to watch. It was definitely difficult to make it to the end of the video. However, it did give me an insight into the perspectives of my students with ADHD, and one who struggles in a particularly hyperactive way. It is very difficult to grab his attention and direct him to a task, but it was useful to recognize that there is much more going on than I can ever imagine. ]]> 2021-06-24 13:52:10 UTC https://padlet.com/agiroux9/ispnkhbntxvz46z1/wish/1623626949 https://padlet.com/agiroux9/ispnkhbntxvz46z1/wish/1633675956 I noticed that as I tried to concentrate on the "lesson" being delivered, I became less and less motivated when I failed to hear what was said and was distracted. One thing in particular sticks in my mind, and it comes at the conclusion of the video. In the almost deafening stillness, he says something along the lines of "I hope you were paying attention, because that was important information." I will avoid saying this like this, as they can be discouraging to students whose lack of concentration is beyond their control. ]]> 2021-07-01 16:54:57 UTC https://padlet.com/agiroux9/ispnkhbntxvz46z1/wish/1633675956 https://padlet.com/agiroux9/ispnkhbntxvz46z1/wish/1790829529 my name is natalia i feel unsafe if i tell u my last name which is why i will not say it.
