Introducing… Curb Cut

It took me awhile to decide if I really wanted to started a blog. In the past year I’ve seen many become com­pletely use­less and wanted to make sure I was ready to jump in with both feet. Two things helped me to decide: 1) this will help me to more sys­tem­at­i­cally review and archive resources that I come across and 2) as far as I know, there isn’t any­one else who has specif­i­cally tack­led acces­si­ble dis­tance edu­ca­tion in the blo­gos­phere. So if you’re here, hope­fully you can find some­thing useful.

Why Curb Cut Learn­ing? You have likely heard of the curb cut prin­ci­ple– the idea that while curb cuts were orig­i­nally intended for per­sons who use wheel­chairs they are also con­ve­nient for a num­ber of other side­walk uses such as strollers, bicy­cles, gro­cery carts, and lug­gage. While you can always go back and retro­fit your instruc­tion so that it is uni­ver­sally acces­si­ble, it is usu­ally eas­ier to do so from the get go.

Thanks for stop­ping by,
Christopher

    Hey, it’s serv­ing as more than just a ‘backup brain’. Keep it up!

    I’m faci­nated by this con­cept of curb cut learn­ing. Entrigued, I can’t fig­ure out what a blog is or what curb cut learn­ing is all about. Maybe you’d enlighten me?
