West Side Story

While not having anything to do with Classroom AV, I was particularly impressed by the tenacity of Plantation High School and their production of West Side Story (http://www.miamiherald.com/457/story/770486.html)

I first heard of this story by watching the ABC Evening News (http://abcnews.go.com/WN/story?id=6330369&page=1). That is one inspirational teacher.

The story does make me think of the theory of Universal Design. This teacher was able to include all of the students interested in participating by figuring out what it would take to make this production available to all, or at least to as many as he could get to. Looks like he's got some pretty talented kids too. Lucky guy.
