    <content type="html">You may remember I mentioned this person as *the* resource for videos and tutorials on lockingpicking and physical penetration, but he just posted a video about the challenge of teaching a blind man to lock pick.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What I, as a blind person with two degrees, including one from MIT, want to point out, is: Deviant Ollam concludes immediately that the challenge isn't Jeremiah being blind, because lockpicking is all about being tactile; the challenge is that the *teaching methods* have become almost completely visual even though, as he goes on to point out, they don't need to be. &lt;br /&gt;And this is the thing I keep hearing from teachers who talk about getting their first student with a disability in their class: their realization that they have been relying on this *one way* of teaching, and questioning if that is the *only way* and the *best way* to be teaching their subject.     &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s7PJ1qEd9Uo"&gt;https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s7PJ1qEd9Uo&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=kestrell&amp;ditemid=420756" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/&gt; comments</content>
