This was a short movie! Very interesting though. It so interesting to think about how I never really considered how difficult it would be to be a person with disabilities in our world. I have seen handicapped restrooms and understood the need for extra space to maneuver – but never really thought about the fact that extra space alone doesn’t solve the problem. This video really made me think about how easy it would be to make the world more accessible – without as much as even changing the “bathroom” experience for a person without a disability. I’m sure this is a metaphor for what we can do in our classrooms to make learning possible for all. And, I think that toliet looks pretty cool, too.:)
