Thanksgiving Monday

No school today...


Living statistics – Many of us who have been following social media since the early 90s are very sensitive to today’s exponential growth in usage of the sharing web. Inspired by other cool real time counters and various videos , Gary Hayes decided to put together this little Flash app (which is in constant development) showing how active & dynamic the Social Web is.

The implications are profound.

Here are some links to sites that show how to use sign language. Homework next week that asks students to use sign language.

Learn a sentence or phrase in sign language that has at least ten words. You will perform the sentence for the class and we will try to guess its meaning. Prizes will be given for the best sentences and for those that stump the class.
