A few weeks back I created a short video as part of a digital storytelling workshop and while I initially thought that this was just a proof of concept and would be something that I would return to and improve, I quickly realized that the message that the video tells is something that should be heard so I have put the video in its raw state up on Vimeo. I was moved by a faculty member at ACU who came up to me and indicated that I had provided a valid reason for the use of technology in the learning environment and that there may be students in his class who learn in unconventional ways. Since he thanked me for “opening his eyes” to these types of students I hope that I can open a few more eyes.

I am not the only person who has questions about ADHD and the way that children are treated who have this “condition” or “disability”.

Sir Ken Robinson addresses this issue in the later portion of his TED Talk Bring on the Learning Revolution.
