Videoconference Technology
with Deaf/Hard of Hearing Birth-High School Students
The
use of videoconference technology in the education of deaf and hard of hearing
students is increasing. However, much of the knowledge about its usage is
isolated among a few users. This Web site serves as a central source to the
many teachers, staff, parents and students who are using or wish to begin using
the technology.
This site is a cooperative effort among several K-12 Deaf
education providers. We are open to anyone who has information to share. For
more information about this initiative, please contact the project leader,
Karen Warren.
