    I choose to comment on Marianne's shared bookmark. Marianne shared Web2Access, which is a site that allows for users to explore great Web 2.0 technologies and e-learning tools that are excellent for breaking any learning barriers the learner may have to hurdle. This site allows users to explore different accessible Web 2.0 technologies/sites for a variety of disabilities such as blind, deaf, color blind, lack of mobility and many others. I learned that this is one of the best resources one can use when planning lessons and activities with Web 2.0 for learners with a variety of disabilities. I learned that Access Menu, BlogDigger, and Adobe are highly recommended among many others in this website. Web2Access is a wonderful source that any teacher needs to use when applying Web 2.0 to students with a variety of disabilities. Jeff

  • Having realized this potential problem school districts are now scrambling to incorporate Web 2. 0 tools for the hearing-impaired into their lesson plans
  • way this is being done is through Vodcasting and video conferencing
  • The lessons are videos in sign language which explain the purpose of the material to the study are a quiz or exercise
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • One of the biggest benefits is the ability to pause or reply to video
  • exploit visual means. For example they could record a lecture in sign language, use a desktop PC, a White Board, are a PowerPoint presentation containing support and explanations and sign language videos

    I choose to bookmark this page due it addresses how individuals with hearing impairments can access and overcome their disibiliites using web 2.0 technologies in the classroom. I bookmarked it as it introduced a new concept called vodcasting. Vodcasting is lessons recorded as video. It is similar to podcasting, but it is purely video with no sound. A teacher could create a podcast for their students from a lecture, and a vodcast for hearing impaired students using a similar web 2.0 technology. The vodcast would be in sign language and the podcast would be sound.
