PRE-DATA information:
DESCRIPTION OF
"OTHER": Coordinate ACE-DHHwide project to develop instructional CDs.
(Refer to Choices Menu and list the required pre-data for
your choice.)
Objectives: The
availability of usable practicum sites is always a challenge for instructors in
deaf education programs, especially those in rural areas. One remedy to this is
the use of instructional videotapes. However, since deaf education is such a
low incidence disability, publishers have been reluctant to put the time and
money into developing quality tapes. This has resulted in a paucity of
available instructional materials. As a result, faculty members have had to
take it into their own hands to make usable videotapes, and these tapes are
sitting in offices all around the nation. The purpose of this project is to
gather these materials, digitize them, then burn them on to CDs for
redistribution among our colleagues in deaf education.
Develop a CD of instructional
practices that students will use to understand instruction.
EXPECTED DIFFERENCES: Students
will have a common base of experiences via the CD upon which to base classroom
discussions
Procedures: (how will the students learn this information?)
1. ACE-DHH Membership will contribute videotapes to this
project.
2. Students will assist in developing the CD by viewing
videotapes and recommending segments to be used on the CD.
3.
Overall
procedures include 1)soliciting tapes from ACE-DHH membership b) Members
acquiring permission forms c) reviewing tapes d) writing narratives e)
capturing clips f) meshing narratives with clips g) burning CDs.

4. CD burner
How do you plan to evaluate your project?
(be sure to check the post-data requirements on the Choices
Menu)
1. Evaluation form from ACE-DHH members
2. Availability of CDs (Note: Quality of CD will depend upon cooperation
from ACE-DHH members in sending quality tapes)
Will the students develop any technology skills as a result
of this course? _X__Yes ___No
