Can Purple Communications or other VP company SPY on us deaf Videophone consumers - can they observe our VP conversations without our knowledge? I asked that question to the Purple technician. He said no and he looked down in the same time.

Can anyone, even a hearie, download P3 in his computer w/ webcam?

Alright if I use a film to show to my ASL classes (Level Begining 101 and 102) at a community college ? If not, why not? If so, why? I wanted to check with you guys, before I decide to introduce the film. Thanks. Sqrrl.

Do you move your mouth while giving a quiz to your ASL students?

I saw your thread. The answer is NO. My 2 hearing kids ... they succeed so well. they have no problem w/ speech despite their first language is ASL! Believe me. The deaf parent can communicate with the child in sign language, but should allow the child to be exposed to the hearing world as...

What appropriate signs for these signs especially in Southern Calif. Thanks. Sqrrl.

I have been considering to request an interpreter for the rest of my remaining quizzes and the Final. To assist me "hear" my class. I don't think my school have a testing center as vampryoX described.

I teach ASL at a cmmty college. After completing the Midterm and most of my students left, two students came to inform me that there were a couple of students in the left-hand corner in back of my classroom making loud noises giving each other questions and answers. One student said he did not...

I teach ASL class. I am deaf and my class is hearing. Several times I ask my class NO VOICE, NO TALKING. I write on the whiteboard and I turn back behind my class writing something. I knew some students would not cooperate. I ask please no voice. Well one student came to me and gave me a note...

Thank you for the feedback. I have been hearing so much about the VRS/VRI companies - thank you for clarifying a difference rbetween VRS and VRI. Some of us have been depending on our own in-house interpreters for our work for years. We have been losing the # of these interpreters and it...

Well, HOVRS has already started business right in my back yard. Actually close enough for the cmmty terps to be attrached to work there. $$$ is a Big reason. What is going to happen to a deaf community without having terps physically around? Would you want a VRS involved for your...

Wondering if it is possible for a deaf person to set up own business by teaching ASL - in class, or in workshop, or tutoring. What do you need in order to start business? I can start by setting up a 3-hour workshop.

Yes it is the County. I don't want to mention which one to the public. I try to make this a story shorter. I talked thru the terp to talk to the guy who runs the program. First, I told him how wonderful the teacher was (after I used my son for terp service for first 2 classes). The guy was...

Why do you need this much for an loan? Gally is not that expensive; much cheaper. It is a good investment in a long run. I did obtain some ed. loans for my college-training. I successfully pursued my degrees and landed a good job that pays me well enough to support my family, housing, 3 cars...
