So glad I stumbled upon this thread! I've been looking for ASL students to practice with via webcam for SO long, without any luck. I just finished ASL 2 and don't want to go the whole summer without practice :/
Anyone who wants to chat, let me know! My skype name is offtracksetmind.

My schedule is kinda crazy, but if we're on at the same time, I'd be happy to practice with ya... you're probably better at it than I am Haha! I've just finished ASL Basic 2, starting Intermediate ASL 1 in the Fall.

You are so very welcome!! I really enjoyed it. I'm really trying to get on Skype as much as I can, but as I've posted before... my schedule gets kinda crazy. Haha!

I was supposed to chat with Travis last night on Skype, and the battery on my wireless mouse died! UGH! Couldn't use my computer until I got some new batteries this morning... Sheesh! LOL

I haven't started on ASL class yet (I'm having a difficult time finding one right now) and learning off the internet (lifeprint.com), I know very little basic signs and I do want to learn. My skype is Lighthouse772
if you add me, you are dealing with someone who have little ASL

Lifeprint.com is how I got started. It's a great site! That website is why I was able to skip ASL Basic 1 and start right into Basic 2 in college. Keep at it, but look into classes as soon as you can find one.

As well as any Deaf meets in your area...

I'll add you into my Skype after I get home from work tonight. Don't worry about not knowing much ASL.

Added you to my Skype just now.

Re: Your Brains · 05-24-2010, 01:03 AM

I have my ASL 1 final tomorrow... ack! I'm a little nervous for it, but I think I'll do okay. I'll be on Skype tonight and tomorrow if anybody would like to say hello.

**KristinaB** · 05-24-2010, 12:47 PM

For those who may try to contact me via Skype or P3, my time in the evenings here in Florida is limited with lights on for the webcam. Hubby got moved to first shift and gets up between 4-5 am. It's lights out no later than 8pm so he can sleep and the computer is in the bedroom as there's nowhere else in this cramped little house.

Hopefully I will have more time soon as we may be moving. It keeps going on and off again, but we shall see.

Secretblend · 05-26-2010, 06:53 PM

Just saw this thread. May have to dig out my old cam and see if it works well enough to use..

ASLGAL · 05-29-2010, 12:09 PM

I could sure use the practice.
I am always overly cautious about adding things.

Is Skype and ooVoo safe?

I would need to buy a video cam. What are good ones?

Update: Well, I remembered an old laptop cam, plugged it in, and signed up :-)
I will look for a new cam when I go out later.

Skype is perfectly safe. You can report and block anyone who bothers you.

**sallylou** · 05-29-2010, 01:22 PM

I got a Logitech Pro 9000 and it's great. It cost $100. Well worth the money. A $30 webcam is useless (and so is the web cam built into my laptop!). Here's a link:

Webcams

***naisho*** · 05-29-2010, 01:32 PM

I picked up a Logitech Quickcam STX a year back or so. Used it a for video conferencing, some vlogging, it works great for it's price.

It costs around $30-$40 ish, did a bit of researching before I bought it. Concluded this was the best cam for that price range. Reason why is because it allows for 640x480 recording, which is the 480p quality on youtube.

You can see a guy playing around with it here.

But that was technology of yesteryear. Golden rule of thumb, there's always something better every 1-2 years.

The one that sally speaks about is the higher end of the tier, that allows for 1-2+ megapixel recordings. This is stuff that you see on 720p or Bluray quality. It is crystal clear, but up to you and your audience to see if it is needed.
