Collaborative Project from ASL Teachers

Why don't we ASL teachers do a collaborative project using blogspot.com to teach our students ASL? David discusses this in this ASL Vlog.

Hi,

Yep, thought you may want to hear this one. It is similiar to the one you are talking about. We just tried producing a program called CYBERASL and download in all computers in the lab at Chaffey College I work. This is something new we started last fall. At the end of the year, will do the surveys to see if it is a big hit with the students and we will produce more of it.

YOUR COMMENT-I AM ALL FOR IT.

Hi there again,

Yes, i think that is a great idea. That was why I asked a while ago about whether ASLTA had something like this where the teachers could collaborate on their teaching via vlogs. Seems like they don't. That may be a good project for the organization where they can provide support to all ASL teachers across the nation.

In my graduate class (I am a MS student in Educational Technology), I learned of a wonderful resource for school teachers where they could keep in touch all over on their teaching. Why not same thing for ASL teachers now that you got the vlogging technology? Yay, come on! I would like to expand that idea to teachers for the Deaf across the nation.

HEY DAVID! YES YES AM ALL FOR IT!!! Good way for ASL students to see different styles of signing- some smooth, some quick, some "choppy" - help them improve their receptive skills... go for it! -Peggy Ann

John Smith,

More information...I do not recall what I did 10 years ago LOL. Nice Blogspot very impressive ASL 1 students.

I was thinking more of like www.aslpro.com only far better. I am asking few ASL teachers to submit html to me with theme and show them signing. Would you like to do a theme?

How about house pets or Farm animals? Be sure to show the sign and how you use it in a conversation.

i met you at wmc.
thanks for the compliments.

i like your suggestion. i do like the idea of a more ASL-centric site. much of my time and energy are devoted to students.
will try to work around that and get back to you later.
