I have learned so much about thinking and processing by blogging alone, I can’t even begin to describe how computer technology has helped me with my own learning disablilities. If you have not done so already you should take a moment to read this young man’s impressive essay on character. Most importantly consider where he would be right now if his mother (Vicki) had not fought for the use of adaptive technology. Next, think of all the students you know who suffer from low self esteem and will not take risks like entering their essay in a contest because they are afraid of looking dumb.

Reading Chris Lehman and Christopher Sessums today challenged me to think on how educational belief systems (mine included), need to change in regards to the use of technology. Since I began blogging I realize the misuse of technology is unavoidable, kids are kids. As Chris Lehman discusses when kids are empowered they, they use that power. Sometimes, especially in the instance that Chris was discussing; they will challenge authority and press buttons.
