    Using Online Videos for Disability Awareness
    Luis Columna, Katrina Arndt, Lauren Lieberman, &  Stephen Yang

Abstract: The increase of inclusive education in the United  States has heightened the need for disability awareness among individuals  without disabilities. Fostering awareness and openness to different ability  levels in the classroom is a skill many educators need to develop. The purpose of  this article is to describe how adapted physical educators, as well as general  and special educators, can use online videos to develop disability awareness  among their students. If used appropriately, online videos can be a powerful  way to support disability awareness and they can motivate students to play a  more active role in their learning.
