Yes, the required portion of the Assistive Technology course is over, and that may well conclude the formal part of that schooling for me, but that's not the end of educating myself on AT. If anything, it's more likely a beginning rather than an end.
I'm continuing on with another online course right now, entitled "Community Perspectives on School and Society". Among yesterday's readings, I was reminded that John Dewey believed that education was a reconstruction of experience. A leader in education in Nova Scotia, Loran DeWolfe, agreed and wrote, "Education is the total sum of experience and is measured by how one feels, acts, and speaks as well as by what one knows and can do."
Watch this video to be introduced to an educated man - a man who will measure high on any scale of knowing and doing. He understands that it's not what they take away from you that counts, it's what you do with what you have left. If you want to know more about Nick Vujicic, this link will take you to his website.
