have the resources to implement full motion videoconference systems, which
Chris, when you were here in February did you see anything about KTLN? It's
Kentucky Tele-Linking Network. This is video conferencing - or maybe a better
way to put it is distance learning. We are setting up sites around the state.
One is at Kentucky School for the Deaf. I've not heard yet HOW they plan to
use it.
KTLN is going to be a part of a Technology Academy where I am involved in
training teachers. So, that we get accustomed to it and understand it better
we are using it during the planning process. This means folks don't have to
drive a distance and all meet in one place. Being so shy :) it's often hard to
sit there and watch myself on tv. But, I'm getting used to it.
Frankly, I don't if it is a COST EFFECTIVE way to do meetings. But, that's
another topic. From having used it I do think one's signing would be clear
although a bit slow.
Anyone knows schools of the deaf or programs where children who are deaf are
using this technology to connect with others?
Cathy - teacher who had dinner with a colleague tonight and was speaking of
"the old days" in Nebraska. I ask her if she knew "our" Malinda (the one who
won't spell her name with a C) and she said, "Of course I know OF her!"

Sure. It was on the front page of the newspaper, along with several great
articles.

Traditional videoconferencing is expensive, but it's peanuts compared to
air travel, hotels, and rentawrecks. At Sun in Chelmsford we have 12
PictureTel equipped conference rooms which are booked solid during west
coast business hours. We could not exist as an east coast division of a
west coast company without this technology.
Distance learning can use telco based videoconferencing, or it can be
done via a broadcast medium such as satcom (satellite communications...
renting time on a commercial broadcast satellite).
There are no limits to the speed of the connection beyond the depth of one's
pockets. Full motion video is possible with either medium.

Cathy,
In Iowa, we have ICN meetings. Usually once a month different sites from
around the state have this telconference. We discuss issues relating to
deaf and hard of hearing kids. Parents from around the state can meet
and talk with other parents. We also have a time when the kids from
around the state in both mainstreamed schools and the deaf school can
communicate with each other. Tammy Adkins our state person is in charge of
this. Her e-mail address is tadkins@max.state.ia.us
I'm sure she will be happy to talk to you some more about conferencing.

know of additional ways it is being used which are directly related to the
curriculum. How are folks integrating this? Is it a part of class work?
I know Gally has it. How is it being used there? Anything to do with
Pre-College or Outreach?
I'd love to learn more about how it is used and the experiences of those who
have used it.

As far as I know the only place on campus that has this technology is the
Gallaudet Conference Center.

Cathy,
Sometimes we have deaf speakers talk to the kids about deaf culture,
current issues, assistive devices, etc. The students also get a chance to
see other deaf and hard of hearing people.
For parents, we have guest speakers talk about advocating for their
children, ways to enhance language development and literacy, and many
other issues. The parents also get a chance to talk about things that
worked or didn't work with their child.
I know our local Area Education Agency would like to offer a class on
hearing impaired/deafness, for regular classroom teachers. Hopefully it
will help with inclusion/mainstreaming techniques, and at the same time
the teachers can get credit for it.
We have ICN (teleconferencing) stations set up all over Iowa. Mostly in
community colleges, universities and high schools.
As far as integrating it with the curriculum, I think it really goes
along with our KIP program. (Hopefully you've heard about this?)
Unfortuately, I don't think my pre-schoolers are ready to do
teleconferencs yet, things just have to be a little more visual and
exciting.

From: "Marilyn W. Galloway" Subject: Re: Video Conferencing
To: Multiple recipients of list EDUDEAF Hi Cathy ---Pre-College Outreach is very interested in using
teleconferencing to augment our current training and technical assistance
efforts!! Gallaudet University has all the equipment in the Kellogg
Conference Center and I am now working with the Distance Education
Coordinator, Toby Silver, to begin using this medium in enhancing our
national mission projects. Toby has been facilitating activites for a
while on the campus and has more information. We did down load a leadership
workshop from the U. of Tenn. for our high school students, but, see this as
only the beginning of using this motivational tool to carry educational
programming. Pre-College is now in the process of major reorganization.
The national mission which includes: training and technical assistance,
publications, exemplary programs and research, and electronic information
will be expanded. --- Marilyn Galloway, Director Pre-College Outreach.
