Title: IPods Used for ASL Homework Assignments
Body: From http://deseretnews.com/dn/view/0,1249,660200784,00.html Classrooms go high-tech By Erin Stewart March 6, 2007 The students in Michelle Tanner's class at an extension of the Utah Schools for the Deaf and the Blind at Gerald Wright Elementary will soon each have an video iPod to add to their backpack of school supplies. And while most people use the pocket-size devices for entertainment, these students' iPods are for homework only. Tanner is one of 20 teachers receiving technology grants this month from Qwest for her innovative use of technology in the classroom. The grants — totaling $50,000 — will allow teachers to buy software, begin projects, and in Tanner's case, equip deaf students with brand-new iPods. Tanner will use the iPods to help her deaf students with their homework, making videos of herself signing the assignments and vocabulary words for the week. Now, Tanner records herself on VHS tapes so that students can study at home, even though parents may not know how to sign that week's spelling list. That VHS method is falling short, however, with many students not having tape players at home and Tanner having to record over the tapes each week.
