They talk about how people with Dyslexia just have a brain that works another way, explaining they just have different strengths and weaknesses than we do. They also point out how everyone with dyslexia is different. ]]> 2021-05-11 12:30:18 UTC https://padlet.com/23cawleym1_1/wlpsa77mxbpb2fvn/wish/1513010651 23cawleym1_1 https://padlet.com/23cawleym1_1/wlpsa77mxbpb2fvn/wish/1513015234 First they create a situation for the audience which shows how people with Dyslexia see things. I thought that this was a really great way to gain a deeper understanding of hat Dyslexia is like. Then, they talk about how the brain works with Dyslexia, like many of the other videos. They also incorporate a lot of different statistics about dyslexia in the video. ]]> 2021-05-11 12:31:39 UTC https://padlet.com/23cawleym1_1/wlpsa77mxbpb2fvn/wish/1513015234 23cawleym1_1 https://padlet.com/23cawleym1_1/wlpsa77mxbpb2fvn/wish/1513041517 This video looks at some children's personal experiences with dyslexia. They talk about how it has affected their learning, what they struggle doing versus what they do really well at. They look at a variety of ages of children in this video which helps create a clearer picture of the impact of dyslexia on children's lives and capability to learn. ]]> 2021-05-11 12:39:01 UTC https://padlet.com/23cawleym1_1/wlpsa77mxbpb2fvn/wish/1513041517 23cawleym1_1 https://padlet.com/23cawleym1_1/wlpsa77mxbpb2fvn/wish/1513045127 This video was really interesting  in comparison to some of the others because it focused on the signs of dyslexia, and how those signs varied based on age. One of the key takeaways was how not everyone experiences dyslexia the same way. ]]> 2021-05-11 12:40:03 UTC https://padlet.com/23cawleym1_1/wlpsa77mxbpb2fvn/wish/1513045127 23cawleym1_1 https://padlet.com/23cawleym1_1/wlpsa77mxbpb2fvn/wish/1513075055 Piper, a teenager with dyslexia, talks about how this has challenged her throughout her childhood, as well as how she was able to overcome it to find her passion. It was interesting to hear a firsthand perspective about it, especially about the treatment she received from others just because she had dyslexia. ]]> 2021-05-11 12:48:00 UTC https://padlet.com/23cawleym1_1/wlpsa77mxbpb2fvn/wish/1513075055 23cawleym1_1 https://padlet.com/23cawleym1_1/wlpsa77mxbpb2fvn/wish/1513085891 This video is done by some celebrities with dyslexia. They talk about what being dyslexic meant to them when they were young and answer some questions about dyslexia. I think it was super interesting to take it from the perspective of celebrities because it shows just how impactful this can be, and how it can affect  anyone. I also think it's important to point out that even with dyslexia, they were able to follow their dreams and be successful, which supports the idea that Dyslexia isn't bad, it's just a different way of thinking. ]]> 2021-05-11 12:50:48 UTC https://padlet.com/23cawleym1_1/wlpsa77mxbpb2fvn/wish/1513085891 23cawleym1_1 https://padlet.com/23cawleym1_1/wlpsa77mxbpb2fvn/wish/1513105353 This video is an interview of a mother with three children. She talks about how only after her children had essentially grown up did she hear about dyslexia. As a mother, when she would try and read with her daughters she found that they were struggling and it turned out that they were all dyslexic. She also included the fact that today they are doing great things, and were able to overcome this and use it to their advantage. Furthermore she says her husband was also dyslexic. This was mentioned in some of the other videos as well but it was interesting to find out that it ran in families. The purpose of this video was for this mother to spread awareness about Dyslexia to those who did not know much about it, as well as share her experience surrounding Dyslexia.]]> 2021-05-11 12:55:29 UTC https://padlet.com/23cawleym1_1/wlpsa77mxbpb2fvn/wish/1513105353 23cawleym1_1 https://padlet.com/23cawleym1_1/wlpsa77mxbpb2fvn/wish/1513111095 Using the analogy of highways as pathways in the brain, this 1 minute video talks about how a person with dyslexia's brain works. ]]> 2021-05-11 12:56:45 UTC https://padlet.com/23cawleym1_1/wlpsa77mxbpb2fvn/wish/1513111095 23cawleym1_1 https://padlet.com/23cawleym1_1/wlpsa77mxbpb2fvn/wish/1513116769 This video uses animation to describe what dyslexia is. It does a really great job explaining that Dyslexia is just a different way of thinking, and that people with Dyslexia are also some of the greatest thinkers all over the world. It also talks about the strengths that come with being Dyslexic.]]> 2021-05-11 12:58:05 UTC https://padlet.com/23cawleym1_1/wlpsa77mxbpb2fvn/wish/1513116769 23cawleym1_1 https://padlet.com/23cawleym1_1/wlpsa77mxbpb2fvn/wish/1513130493 I really liked this video, it explains how dyslexia is different for each person. I think it clarifies that it is not anything wrong with the brain, just that the brain is used differently. Furthermore it touches upon some statistics about dyslexia, as well as some people who have dyslexia who are able to be very successful. ]]> 2021-05-11 13:01:25 UTC https://padlet.com/23cawleym1_1/wlpsa77mxbpb2fvn/wish/1513130493 23cawleym1_1 https://padlet.com/23cawleym1_1/wlpsa77mxbpb2fvn/wish/1517622196 2021-05-12 14:21:29 UTC https://padlet.com/23cawleym1_1/wlpsa77mxbpb2fvn/wish/1517622196 23cawleym1_1 https://padlet.com/23cawleym1_1/wlpsa77mxbpb2fvn/wish/1517622680 2021-05-12 14:21:35 UTC https://padlet.com/23cawleym1_1/wlpsa77mxbpb2fvn/wish/1517622680 23cawleym1_1 https://padlet.com/23cawleym1_1/wlpsa77mxbpb2fvn/wish/1517622989 2021-05-12 14:21:39 UTC https://padlet.com/23cawleym1_1/wlpsa77mxbpb2fvn/wish/1517622989 23cawleym1_1 https://padlet.com/23cawleym1_1/wlpsa77mxbpb2fvn/wish/1517623236 2021-05-12 14:21:42 UTC https://padlet.com/23cawleym1_1/wlpsa77mxbpb2fvn/wish/1517623236 23cawleym1_1 https://padlet.com/23cawleym1_1/wlpsa77mxbpb2fvn/wish/1517623430 2021-05-12 14:21:45 UTC https://padlet.com/23cawleym1_1/wlpsa77mxbpb2fvn/wish/1517623430 23cawleym1_1 https://padlet.com/23cawleym1_1/wlpsa77mxbpb2fvn/wish/1524644105 After completing this project, I think I cleared up some of the misconceptions surrounding Dyslexia. First off, it is generally assumed that this doesn't affect many people, but that is simply not true. I learned that Dyslexia impacts about 1 and 5 people, and that it is likely to run in families. It is also generally assumed that when someone has Dyslexia, there is something wrong with the way their brain functions, but that is not the case either. People who have Dyslexia just have brains that work differently, not worse than other people's. Something that I found interesting was that Dyslexia impacts everyone differently, and that people can display different symptoms of Dyslexia. I chose this topic because reading is something I really enjoy, and I wanted to learn  about people who find it more difficult and what their experience is like. ]]> 2021-05-14 13:58:25 UTC https://padlet.com/23cawleym1_1/wlpsa77mxbpb2fvn/wish/1524644105
