A visual method (webcam), is all that I can think of using right now...I suppose if you wanted to make a more curricular experience out of it, you could use a still camera to make 'digital flashcards' so to speak.

Hey Dave, thanks for the suggestions.  I particularly love www.lifeprint.com, and deafcoffeechat is also a WONDERFUL way to get involved in the Deaf community.  Thanks!  I love all your help!

I would love to tune in and pick up whatever I can as I know only one word it ASL (butterfly) of all things. If my cam works with my computer I would be there)

Sounds great!  It's a fun word too, as is "bug"! ;)  That'll be great, let's do something in the new year once people are back from vacation and the word/message has gotten out.  Thanks!!!!  :D

Hi, I was half-way thru an ASL interpreter program b4 I left to help my mother who became very ill in another state.  I've forgotten alot, but need to get back in it.  I'll have to get a webcam for this little laptop tho.  I'll check back with you all on this.

Welcome Kel, thanks for your interest!  Yeah, it took a while for me to get mine and it doesn't work consistently, thus I'll have to check that out.  But I welcome you and hope to start something soon in the new year!  Thanks!
