You can get something like Skype and practice over the internet.

Frisky Feline · 02-25-2010, 11:24 AM

If you guys have webcam then it would work.

Megs · 02-25-2010, 11:26 AM

Sorry I am new at this! I am going deaf and trying to learn ASL. I have a webcam. Is there a delay in time with a webcam?

dogmom · 02-25-2010, 01:27 PM

I like this idea, Bott, no webcam though...

Megs, is that little IG or Chi in your pic?

Mrs Bucket · 02-25-2010, 02:35 PM

I have both Skype and ooVoo.

I would be more than happy to set up a weekly ASL chat for those who want to practise with an ASL fluent signer.

**sallylou** · 02-25-2010, 03:41 PM

Mrs. Bucket, I will get a new web cam this weekend. Sign me up!

I'd definitely be interested. But it would depend on the day/time, since my work schedule is a bity crazy. I'll keep watch on this thread and see what develops.

for offering to set this up!

Sign me up too! If anyone wants to practice with me feel free to contact me. I guess you can call me a beginner because I know the basics, but I'm a fast learner and I'll be glad to help beginners! Just give me a shout.

I'd love to participate if I can! I might be late getting in there though since I don't get home from church till at least 1pm. How long does everyone stick around for? Maybe I can pop in for a short bit before work.... we'll see if I can work it out.

But the VP won't do you any good to join a web based video chat for the group of ASL students who are hearing.

I know that my webcam also has an option for free video chat calls, but I guess I don't know much about it at all. I know my P3 will connect with other VP's. Maybe I just don't understand enough.

Just figured out what you meant - you're right - a VP wouldn't. silly me.

julielsa@optonl · 03-02-2010, 08:18 PM

I would love to chat via webcam. I am in the interpreter program at my community college here on Long Island. I am always looking for people to practice with.

I personally think that the video chat through gmail is the best one. The picture is clear and there is minimum, if any, delay. But I am willing to use whichever one you want.

Looking forward to chatting,
Julie

kpa7985 · 03-04-2010, 08:28 PM

I would like to do this! I am in need of help! You can contact me either through PM on here or on Yahoo IM katiea90. I hope you decide to do this again. Thanks

FxAvatar · 03-05-2010, 01:45 PM

OMG, I just found this thread and would have LOVED to have joined in. Let me know if you are going forward with this as a weekly thing. Also,

Well, how did it go.. when did you all meet up (as in what time zone of 1PM, East, Central, Mount. or West?).. how many joined up?.. details.. details..

**sallylou** · 03-05-2010, 03:33 PM

I have a new web cam! For those of you considering getting a web cam, I got the Logitech Pro 9000. The video quality is excellent and it was easy to set up. Cost runs about $100.

I've got P3 and Skype. I'm ready to join in.

Somehow I missed the previous plans. I'll watch here for more info.

Megs · 03-07-2010, 03:19 PM

When and where for the next meeting?
