Meg+Denton's+Project

For my project, I decided to explore the free software to create a book that is accessible to a variety of deaf and hard or hearing students. Different formats of a single book can influence the way a student understands and internalizes the meaning of the pictures and the language. I created a digital version of the book Stop that Ball by Mike McClintock. Then I decided to do three types of language access.   Numbers 2 and 3 are accessible to non-readers who a deaf. All of the students who would be reading this book would benefit from the questions at the end of the powerpoint. They are supported with sign symbols to help full understanding of the print. I would say that most students who have the low incident disability of deafness also have a high incidence disability with reading and writing challenges. Having a traditional book available in a variety of ways will only create better understanding. (Explore the Voicethread by clicking on the book cover)
 * 1) Voice with the pictures in a sequence.
 * 2) Pictures with sign language pictures symbols representing the general meaning of the text completed in Keynote and then saved as a power point presentation.
 * 3) Video of the digital pictures of the pages combined with a sign language video of each page done in Imovie.

 After the powerpoint of the book. There are some basic comprehension questions that can be utilized on a Smartboard. []
