*Laughing* Kiss-fist ya.. Which one I'm in? Weightlifting guy? Smile... But I love to discuss about ASL because ASL is my truly and first language.. ASL RULZ!
Very interesting. I hate to say this but I really HATE HATE HATE Signing Naturally Level one thru three. They're HORRIBLE. :-)
It did get me thinking. Basically cant defend before understanding ASL.
the weightlifter was funny! :)
yes, I agree with you, the more we know how it works as a language, the better we can answer debates by people thinking it is not a language.
Funny, but true. I admit I know in general terms. Funny #3 nerd.
Very creative. :)

I like that # 3 part, you are best actor of "nerd" dressing up! LOL.
Myself -- I was used to be teaching ASL I, II, III, IV for a local community for two years, I was involved into an ASLTA for two years to learn ASL, Lingusitis, Eye Gaze, facial expression, gestures, etc. After that I got another job, I had not been teach ASL for a long while, I am behind,I need to learn a UPGRADE about ASL.
Educate me, again as refresh.
Keep coming more.

Hello,
I loved your site so much I linked it to my personal blog.
I am a hearing, teacher of the Deaf at a small public school in Georgia. I co-teach 3rd grade in a mainstream class using Total Communication. I also have the support of a signing tech for interpreting, and am able to pull students for more structured language development and reteach opportunities. My students include two ASL dominant students, and two that are more oral. I feel the challenge as a teacher to reach all language modalities, as well as the great responsibility of being an ASL model for my sign-dominant students (they have non-signing hearing parents).
Though my instruction in ASL was from a Deaf professor and I was in a strong Deaf Culture oriented program, I am at a school where SEE sign has been the dominant form and I see it changing the way I sign, and what my students can understand.
We also are considering an integrating of visual phonics (similar to cued speech) to help our students who are oral in their pronunciation and sounding out skills.
I find in teaching the reading of English, I lose the richness of ASL and want to do a better job of helping the students to do more story telling than just decoding English. I don't want to be a hearing person who "changes ASL." We meet regularly as a team to agree on signs and help to stay consistent in our ASL. We are cautious when we use SEE.
I will keep tuning in to your vlog for more ideas. I appreciate your talking about these often controversial, but necessary issues.
