First, the movie actually made me think about accessibility--which does have important implications for education. Connecting back to my thoughts on Kerry's blog, I was amazed at another aspect of accessibility I easily take for granted. Kerry had posted about accessibility for the deaf on the T, but Darius's message about mobility access makes a more salient point. The guys in the film rated their "sample" of places in the U.S. as 65% accessible. That means 35% of locations are not. Can we be satisfied with that?
Second, I was honored to meet (well, see and say hi to) Darius, and I was inspired by his perspective. The programs that he and Logan and the foundations backing their cause have created changed my thinking about raising awareness and capturing attention. The way to get someone to think about a problem (like Duchenne Muscluar Dystrophy) is to put it in front of them--in whatever way engages their affect. Give them a blinding discrepant situation! And then I realized that putting the message right at the audience's fingertips was a great way to improve my blog.
So I'm going to do that. Here's what I want you to see.
Here's the movie trailer:

btw: Logan--well done. I have great admiration for you.
