MOD 7: Sped - Teach American Sign Language.

I will use the sign language video to teach American Sign Language (ASL) to non verbal students who are deaf and have hearing impairment. I will also use this video to introduce the culture of the deaf community and to enlighten the students who are not deaf to learn about deaf culture. This is important because students who are not deaf will be able to communicate with the deaf students and this will enable them to be fully engaged with the deaf community outside the classroom.Learning the Sign Language will enhance their understanding of the deaf culture and help them to express themselves using their face, eyes, head and body movements.This video is for my subject area, special education.

  1. Wow. I never thought about using videos to teach sign language. What a good idea! Maybe I could actually learn a little this way too!
