Why am I writing this personal entry? Well, it is not an attempt to gain any sympathy. It attempts to show what is possible if a clear intention and goal serve the learner's needs. In May of 2022 just near the end of another fantastic school year, I do not remember what happened. But, I was unable to finish the school year and was unable to teach the following year. Why? On May 21st, 2022, I fell down a flight of 16 stairs (luckily carpeted) from the 2nd to 1st story of our home. I was found at the bottom of the stairs. I was found foaming at the mouth. This would lead to a 2-month hospital stay which included an induced coma because my seizures would not stop, several rounds of lumbar punctures, and relearning basic physical movements like something as simple as being able to roll in the hospital bed. Simply put, when I was admitted to the hospital, I was diagnosed as being “critically ill.” Please take a moment and read those words: critically ill. They are not terms...
I said 15 minutes so I'll keep this short.
On October 9th, the Elmbrook School District hosted a Wisconsin CanvasCon focused on making learning personal. I was lucky enough to be able to present at the conference. I did a quick screen cast of my presentation below (I took 45 minutes and made it less than 15). The focus of the presentation is the ways in which Canvas allows teachers to fully realize Universal Design for Learning. Below that, you'll find my full presentation.
