Professional Development Sessions:

9:00 am – Noon: This activity will incorporate various technology that people can use in the classroom. Technology is changing and improving, we as ASL instructors need to keep up with what is out there and what we can use in the classroom. It is not always clear what to use and how to use technology that is available in our visual language classrooms to improve the learning environment for students. The participants shall:

1. Learn about the various types of technology that can be used to teach ASL. 2. Using a laptop or phone, participants will have hands on practice on how to use each technology presented.

1:30 pm – 4:30 pm: This activity will cover how to incorporate ASL mouth morphemes in the classroom. Students do not always know how to incorporate the mouth morphemes properly, know the meanings for these morphemes, and when to use them. This workshop will review the purpose and when mouth morphemes are used and the purpose in ASL. Demonstration and practice will be incorporated in this session.
