At first I thought the video was funny but then reality set in. People have the same frustrations that Mario had in the video. Those who are fortunate enough to not have a disability should step in and help those who do to help better their lives. ]]> 2017-10-24 01:35:13 UTC https://padlet.com/jlmacmillan1/uvzyawudw9r0/wish/199826298 bayleeburcham https://padlet.com/jlmacmillan1/uvzyawudw9r0/wish/199836967 My first reaction to the video was that this was a form of a PSA. It is a good way to get the attention of a whole demographic because it relates to children to play video games, to the teens who used to love Mario (even if they've grown out of it), and to the parents who are funding their children's games. ]]> 2017-10-24 02:53:43 UTC https://padlet.com/jlmacmillan1/uvzyawudw9r0/wish/199836967 aamuhvic https://padlet.com/jlmacmillan1/uvzyawudw9r0/wish/199995167 I think a lot of times we do not even realize that our whole society, even games, idealize only able body people. Kids are sometimes the harshest critics because they are learning to form their ideas based on what they see and this is acceptable, I thought this video was a simple yet powerful way to show that you can still reach the same results disabled as anyone else if the world provides the help they need.]]> 2017-10-24 14:13:04 UTC https://padlet.com/jlmacmillan1/uvzyawudw9r0/wish/199995167 https://padlet.com/jlmacmillan1/uvzyawudw9r0/wish/200175899 My first reaction to this video was that there are still people out there that think of other people before themselves still. It seems like anymore that people only think of themselves, but thinking of other people can really benefit you. It will show that you are willing to take the time to do something that might not benefit you directly, but make you look like a good person. If more people were willing to help with disabilities then maybe there would not be so many people with disabilities that do not want to ask for help due to being shamed, or made fun of. ]]> 2017-10-24 19:22:21 UTC https://padlet.com/jlmacmillan1/uvzyawudw9r0/wish/200175899 sevans514 https://padlet.com/jlmacmillan1/uvzyawudw9r0/wish/200187069 Sarah

It was short enough and changed often enough to hold my attention the entire video. I like how they bring up the differences over time that have happened and how they need to continue occurring to create equal opportunities for everyone.]]> 2017-10-26 21:36:56 UTC https://padlet.com/jlmacmillan1/uvzyawudw9r0/wish/201038393 jlshellabarg https://padlet.com/jlmacmillan1/uvzyawudw9r0/wish/201038513 I thought this video was very simple, but stated a lot. At first I was confused as to what was going on and why I was watching Mario, but then it made sense. This game truly helps you see in the eyes of a disabled person. They are right, it is not the 80's anymore and we need to give equal opportunities to everyone.

The point of Mario is to jump around and navigate, using a disabled Mario really shows that the difference every faces. The point of the video is to show that those with disabilities can do the same things as those without, they just need a little more help in the process. ]]> 2017-10-26 21:39:03 UTC https://padlet.com/jlmacmillan1/uvzyawudw9r0/wish/201038741 reedsinger1 https://padlet.com/jlmacmillan1/uvzyawudw9r0/wish/201041636 Mario represents the two different types of people, able bodies and disabled, and using it in this format can help you see the big differences between them. The video shows that disabled people can do the same things as able bodied people, they just take more time to do it. ]]> 2017-10-26 22:01:00 UTC https://padlet.com/jlmacmillan1/uvzyawudw9r0/wish/201041636 chesterthefourth https://padlet.com/jlmacmillan1/uvzyawudw9r0/wish/201045789 There was a character progression to Mario. Initially he was a completely able bodied fellow. However, after his accident his was more restricted as to what he was able to do. We saw, at first, that he was simply unable to overcome his obstacles. But, as the course became more accessible to him, despite his disability, he was able to go through the course with ease. This video shows that in an inclusive and accommodating environment disabled individuals can perform at the same levels, if not higher ones, than able bodied people. ]]> 2017-10-26 22:36:19 UTC https://padlet.com/jlmacmillan1/uvzyawudw9r0/wish/201045789 ljmarsh https://padlet.com/jlmacmillan1/uvzyawudw9r0/wish/201046187 I think this video brings attention to the fact that disabilities come in all forms and can be difficult to adapt to alone. This video shows that it is important to make someone's everyday life accessible no matter what disability they have.  Using Mario seems to make this topic more relatable and makes the viewer think about what they can do to help

It combined the nostalgic video game of Mario, created in 1985, to comment on accessibility for the disabled. I thought the video revealed how many of the obstacles in the game involved an able bodied Mario to jump over objects. Once Mario was no longer able to jump, without ramps to help him, he couldn't get passed tubes and holes to travel accross the map. I compared this idea to wheel chair accessibility on campus and in my hometown.]]> 2017-10-26 23:09:53 UTC https://padlet.com/jlmacmillan1/uvzyawudw9r0/wish/201049396 jexx24_777 https://padlet.com/jlmacmillan1/uvzyawudw9r0/wish/201058143 Using Mario to show the importance of enabling the access for disabled person was an interesting way. It made me think that there must be many people who are having trouble to live independently, because there are not so many places designed for people with disabilities. I have recently watched the TED Talk and her idea was if we design for the people with disabilities on the first hand, the society would become better. The slopes or elevators are not only for people who rides on a wheelchair. This video reminded me the importance of universal design. ]]> 2017-10-27 00:23:32 UTC https://padlet.com/jlmacmillan1/uvzyawudw9r0/wish/201058143 nkern1998 https://padlet.com/jlmacmillan1/uvzyawudw9r0/wish/201061062 This video provides a very interesting perspective. The video uses Super Mario as a way to advocate for more accessibility for people with disabilities everywhere. In using this medium to show the need for accessibility, I think that it is showing how needs for disabled people has not been something even considered in popular culture until very recently if that. The video pushes to make this concept of accessibility for all people one championed by all people by making the Super Mario game, which is synonymous with pop culture, adapted for disabled Mario]]> 2017-10-27 00:51:27 UTC https://padlet.com/jlmacmillan1/uvzyawudw9r0/wish/201061062 rlechner https://padlet.com/jlmacmillan1/uvzyawudw9r0/wish/201063260 This video tied something that we are all familiar, Super Mario Bros, to something we are not as familiar with, disabilities. The video was eye opening on how small accomadations can really benefit and level out the playing field for a student]]> 2017-10-27 01:12:36 UTC https://padlet.com/jlmacmillan1/uvzyawudw9r0/wish/201063260 ejanepuckett https://padlet.com/jlmacmillan1/uvzyawudw9r0/wish/201071188 While watching the video my first initial reaction was that this was a great way to show how activities we might think are not all that difficult, are very difficult for someone with a disability. I believe this is a good way to show how someone with a disability needs adaptation because Mario is a fairly universal game that most people know and can relate to. ]]> 2017-10-27 02:13:54 UTC https://padlet.com/jlmacmillan1/uvzyawudw9r0/wish/201071188 jebabbitt https://padlet.com/jlmacmillan1/uvzyawudw9r0/wish/201071206 This video shows that not all disability is something that a person if born with. Sometimes it is doing something that you've done your whole life and when it is taken away from you, it is hard to adjust. Also, we need to make better accommodations for people with disabilities in everyday life, these are easy things that could change how a person feels about themselves. ]]> 2017-10-27 02:14:02 UTC https://padlet.com/jlmacmillan1/uvzyawudw9r0/wish/201071206 sharvey2015 https://padlet.com/jlmacmillan1/uvzyawudw9r0/wish/201074171 Watching it was kind of disheartening, but also uplifting when the other Mario made ramps. You can never truly know how hard something is for another person whether it is a learning or physical disability until you're in their shoes. Today my EDPS class went to the Erskine Green Training Institute and just hearing what little differences they were doing at that hotel just to help those who were in a wheel chair was really eye opening.

Its an interesting commentary on the state of the physically disabled. At first being stuck and unable to do much, but with just a little outside help able to everything normally. I think the strongest point of the video was the end, by showing the accident at the end of the video it alludes to the imperfections n our current way of helping the physically handicapped. Its simple and to the point, when combined with the popular imagery of Super Mario, has a strong message]]> 2017-10-27 03:33:51 UTC https://padlet.com/jlmacmillan1/uvzyawudw9r0/wish/201079542 nickrnagel https://padlet.com/jlmacmillan1/uvzyawudw9r0/wish/201088104 I think this video was made to show that any obstacle can be overcome if we try. When Mario realizes he can't jump initially he feels upset and unequal. Luigi building the ramps is representative of what a good society should do for the unequal population, such as those with disabilities.]]> 2017-10-27 05:08:56 UTC https://padlet.com/jlmacmillan1/uvzyawudw9r0/wish/201088104 amfleckenste https://padlet.com/jlmacmillan1/uvzyawudw9r0/wish/201089811 This video helps give a small look into the frustrations many people with disabilities face in society. With how Mario was feeling and his reactions, we can see how those with disabilities face challenges in life. They are not always thought of when one is creating a video game or even granting access within simply having a ramp for those in wheelchairs to use. The man with the idea to help Mario out is how we should all be looking at to aid everyone in society. ]]> 2017-10-27 05:34:45 UTC https://padlet.com/jlmacmillan1/uvzyawudw9r0/wish/201089811 mdsantin https://padlet.com/jlmacmillan1/uvzyawudw9r0/wish/201175642 This video elaborates on the fact that many places are not accessible to people with disabilities. The creators of the video clearly support accessibility for everyone. However, some portions of the video seemed somewhat disrespectful, almost as if they were mocking people with disabilities. I think that this aspect likely served the purpose of giving the audience an insight to what many people with disabilities feel like when they come across things that are not made accessible to them.]]> 2017-10-27 13:06:57 UTC https://padlet.com/jlmacmillan1/uvzyawudw9r0/wish/201175642 fnchildress40 https://padlet.com/jlmacmillan1/uvzyawudw9r0/wish/216023220 This video really made me think. It brought up the fact that we need to create ways for everyone to access everyday things that we normally would not have to think about. Also it made me think about the fact that most video game characters are 100 percent able bodied. ]]> 2017-12-14 01:30:46 UTC https://padlet.com/jlmacmillan1/uvzyawudw9r0/wish/216023220 zbheid https://padlet.com/jlmacmillan1/uvzyawudw9r0/wish/233024274 I thought this video was a really nice way to make people aware of the struggle of people in a wheel chair. Their are a lot of public place that are not wheel chair accessible and should be. We need to have these ramps and elevators so students or anyone in wheel chairs my access any where they want. These people did not choose to be in a wheelchair so why should we exclude them out of our society by not allowing them access in certain areas.]]> 2018-02-19 18:57:40 UTC https://padlet.com/jlmacmillan1/uvzyawudw9r0/wish/233024274 https://padlet.com/jlmacmillan1/uvzyawudw9r0/wish/233087352 People do not cease to be people once overcome with a disability. Mario continued to strive after the accident. It is only through the assistance of other able-bodied individuals that it is possible for those afflicted by disabilities to succeed in their striving. The video made quite blunt and clear demands that able-bodied people need to assist now; it is too far into the future to not have systems, planning, and architecture that is accessible. However, these changes should always be aimed for self-sufficiency. Mario did not need anyone else present to make his journey. ]]> 2018-02-20 00:09:05 UTC https://padlet.com/jlmacmillan1/uvzyawudw9r0/wish/233087352 https://padlet.com/jlmacmillan1/uvzyawudw9r0/wish/233553779 This video represents how things that seem easy to those without a disability can be a real challenge for those with a disability. It also represents all of the accommodations that need to be made in order to make the world accessible to everyone. ]]> 2018-02-20 23:32:46 UTC https://padlet.com/jlmacmillan1/uvzyawudw9r0/wish/233553779 cafoote2018 https://padlet.com/jlmacmillan1/uvzyawudw9r0/wish/233833600 This video was actually really interesting. I know that the point was that Mario could still play the game with some accommodations put into place. That was really great that those accommodations were put into place. However, I also noticed something else. The obstacles were not taken out completely from the game! Mario still had to get through the turtles and other moving obstacles, he could still get the coins, etc. The normal obstacles and add-ins were still included, and the accommodations did not get in the way of that. ]]> 2018-02-21 16:31:10 UTC https://padlet.com/jlmacmillan1/uvzyawudw9r0/wish/233833600 https://padlet.com/jlmacmillan1/uvzyawudw9r0/wish/233905126 The video was a shock at first. Seeing Mario take a hit and be knocked cold then come back in a wheelchair took me aback. It was funny to see the character in this way until he then faced his own inability to move forward. His crying was shocking in a pitiful sense, but with the help of a more fortunate Luigi we saw the myriad solutions that could be had for all those obstacles. In a way, it shows me how, with a bit of gumption and creativity, we can find solutions to these problems and allow those less fortunate to avoid the desolation Mario felt when returning to the level.]]> 2018-02-21 18:24:32 UTC https://padlet.com/jlmacmillan1/uvzyawudw9r0/wish/233905126 https://padlet.com/jlmacmillan1/uvzyawudw9r0/wish/233999170 At first this video really caught me off guard. I didn't expect the animators to be able to relate such loved game to expressing the importance of allowing individual with disabilities to reaching their fullest potential. People never consider an equality issue for people with disabilities and this video truly highlights it. I thought it was a very cute and fun way to bring awareness to such and undermined concern in today's society. ]]> 2018-02-21 21:17:14 UTC https://padlet.com/jlmacmillan1/uvzyawudw9r0/wish/233999170 christidalton1 https://padlet.com/jlmacmillan1/uvzyawudw9r0/wish/234072524 At first the video seemed like the typical advertisement you would see for Mario. However, once Mario lost a life and was not able to get over the tunnel tube it hit me hard. For those of us who are able to properly use our body, we do not understand the basic activities that we are able to do. However, once Luigi added ramps it allowed the game to be played like we all know it to be. It demonstrates how even the most basic adjustment can alter the lives of millions a day. There are obstacles that individuals still face today. ]]> 2018-02-22 03:41:31 UTC https://padlet.com/jlmacmillan1/uvzyawudw9r0/wish/234072524 vmcrawford15 https://padlet.com/jlmacmillan1/uvzyawudw9r0/wish/234075058 I was not expecting this video to be related anything to disabilities due to the original layout of this game. However, once I saw Mario take the hit, and go into a wheel chair I was interested on how the game would proceed. It was important to note, that the game did provide some accomodations, but those accomodations did not always fit that individual player. When it showed Mario begining in crutches, and then losing a life and returning in a wheelchair, I was uncertain how that would appeal to individuals who are wheelchair bound, since it was seen as a "punishment" or "disadvantage". This does remind me of the fight for more diversity in children's books, so all children are represented in these products. So why not continue this push into all aspects of media or entertainment children are exposed to?]]> 2018-02-22 03:59:20 UTC https://padlet.com/jlmacmillan1/uvzyawudw9r0/wish/234075058 shelbyping13 https://padlet.com/jlmacmillan1/uvzyawudw9r0/wish/234260962 This video caught me off guard. I had known that it would be about disabilities but this shocked me. To see Mario face these struggles because of what has happened to him was heartbreaking. He cried when he realized that what he loved to do was not accessible to him anymore. This video provides a heartwarming message that in this day and age we must provide accommodations to the disabled. This is shown by the ramps that Luigi added. It saddens me to realize that people still face these struggles today because some places are still inaccessible to the disabled. We need to fix that.]]> 2018-02-22 15:09:06 UTC https://padlet.com/jlmacmillan1/uvzyawudw9r0/wish/234260962 https://padlet.com/jlmacmillan1/uvzyawudw9r0/wish/234447372 That beginning really made me pause the video. I felt really bad for mario for awhile. Then the cool construction guy came over and built some ramps for mario so he could continue terrorizing the gumbas just like he always had. Mario might be in a wheel chair now but with just a little help with the ramps and things he can do everything on his own. It's a nice little video that shows that a little accessibility can go a long way in helping those in need.]]> 2018-02-22 19:37:45 UTC https://padlet.com/jlmacmillan1/uvzyawudw9r0/wish/234447372 darnleytaylor https://padlet.com/jlmacmillan1/uvzyawudw9r0/wish/234447556 My initial thought about this video was "how creative!" To use something so common to everyone that is easy to understand is a genius idea when it comes down to spreading awareness, especially when using Mario, a character who is known for running around from place to place with ease. To metaphorically use him as an example of disability and that everyone should have access is very effective.]]> 2018-02-22 19:38:03 UTC https://padlet.com/jlmacmillan1/uvzyawudw9r0/wish/234447556 siscott https://padlet.com/jlmacmillan1/uvzyawudw9r0/wish/234494433 I was intrigued by the video and thought it was very creative.

I thought this video was quite relevant as a future teacher. I'm going to have students who feel like they can't get past that first obstacle because of their disability. It's my job to provide these students the access they need for success. These students shouldn't have to feel discouraged for something that is out of their control.

I liked how it showed how significant the quality of life changed for Mario after he received a few accommodations. It also showed how simple the accommodations are. It truly doesn't take that much effort on the part of the able-bodied individual, but it made an incredible difference and changed Mario's life dramatically for the better. ]]> 2018-02-24 02:37:38 UTC https://padlet.com/jlmacmillan1/uvzyawudw9r0/wish/234942728 https://padlet.com/jlmacmillan1/uvzyawudw9r0/wish/234993214 I feel like this video is pretty accurate to real life.

The thing that I really liked about it was the fact that they didn't change the layout of the level, they just added bits for Mario to access the later bits. To me, I saw the whole thing as normalizing as it is showing that people are still the same and want to do the same things as everyone else.]]> 2018-02-25 03:02:40 UTC https://padlet.com/jlmacmillan1/uvzyawudw9r0/wish/235044587 mnkarre https://padlet.com/jlmacmillan1/uvzyawudw9r0/wish/235136489 I found this video to be really eye opening, because for me, I have never been in a situation that I needed this type of assistance. So this video helped show what it might be like for someone who does that was put in an easy to understand way. I also really enjoyed their call to action at the end because it showed the real need for people to start making a change for universal design.

In the video we see equity - Mario was hurt and unable to complete the course like he used to when he did not have a physical disability, so the course was changed so that he could complete it in a way that he was able to. If Mario were treated "equally" then the course would not have been changed because everyone was given an equal opportunity to complete an identical course.

If they don't have ramps, or elevators they can feel left out on what everyone else is doing. This is why laws have been put in place that require businesses to provide ramps or other forms to get up stairs to enter buildings. This allows for equality for all people. ]]> 2018-02-27 07:18:44 UTC https://padlet.com/jlmacmillan1/uvzyawudw9r0/wish/235746727 https://padlet.com/jlmacmillan1/uvzyawudw9r0/wish/235926950 It is crazy how much we take for granted as able bodied individuals. This video expresses just how important it is to be aware of the disabilities of others and obstacles they face in an unaccessible environment. Personally I have had two major hamstring surgeries that have forced me to be dependent on others for transportation and assistance. Both times were equally as tough, because even though I had experienced it before I forgot what it was like to not have the privilege of doing things so easily on my own. Everyday tasks like taking a shower and going grocery shopping seemed impossible. However, if my home, community, and schools layouts were entirely accessible life would have been much easier and I would have felt much more safe. Accessibility should be built into our classrooms and schools, not and accommodation we make only when necessary.  ]]> 2018-02-27 15:23:07 UTC https://padlet.com/jlmacmillan1/uvzyawudw9r0/wish/235926950 kaci_l_alvarez https://padlet.com/jlmacmillan1/uvzyawudw9r0/wish/236748846 This video definitely has a shock factor to it. The start of it where he got knocked out took me aback, but seeing the changes made to the area around him lightened the mood a bit. I like that the video was centered around something that a lot of people can relate to. The statement at the end was nice, and then Mario actually died, which shocked me yet again. This video was definitely effective in my eyes.]]> 2018-03-01 02:05:47 UTC https://padlet.com/jlmacmillan1/uvzyawudw9r0/wish/236748846
