Valerie,
The seminar outline looks great and I hope that DAC members in the area
will be able to 'stop by' or 'stay awhile' with us.
As for the transcribing of videotapes...maybe we could bring some of the
student's sign narratives on video that we have collected this year and
transcribe those?
Looking forward to this learning event...it's so great to be joined by
my fellow SW teachers/learners.
