I've seen wheelchair users several times on subway. Whenever i see them, i think how uncomfortable they are vaguelyI. Yesterday, I ,however, realized what i thought is just kidding. I did't know well about the truth how difficult people with disability feel until I experienced the wheelchair. I had two kinds of wheelchairs, automatic and manual wheelchair. The first one is very easy to use and a litttle bit exciting but the other one is super, super hard and need much energy and arm power. I think yesterday what I had done is really valuable experience and very useful to understand the life of people with disablility.   In the second place, I learned the desease related to the blind. There are Glaucoma, Cataracts and Retinopathy. I think the blind is not my business. However, after I was told Mr, An's explaination, I thought was changed. In addition, It was very interesting to learn the concept of each desease.   The blind have some limitqation to learning. They can't use visual ablility, so most of them depends on and cannot help relying on the touching. Teacher's duty is to provide this kind of exposion and opportunity. Their activity is related to the safety issue, so important. Lowerfeld(1975) noted the edudation principle. 1.concrete experience about the world. 2. provide opportunity and make them adap their experience to the learning. 3. intergrate each experience. It is braille to the most impressive part in the expanded essential curriculum. In addition, the other devices for blind is impressive too. They look very expensive and convenient. I was very impressive to learn about the blind people and other things relate to them.
