MySignLink was developed by

AASD media/technology specialist Dr. Harley Hamilton, with assistance

from Kennesaw State University technology instructor Jim Wright.

"Use it while browsing

web pages, reading a book, watching captioned TV, doing homework, studying

for a test, communicating with a deaf family member, or even eating a

sandwich," Hamilton said. "It's a fun and easy way to learn

sign language, and it is available on any computer with an Internet connection."

Online since Sept. 1, accreditation

committees from the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools and the

Council of Educational Administrators of Schools for the Deaf have praised

MySignLink as a highly innovative teaching tool.

Amazingly, MySignLink was developed

as part of the AASD Technology Plan for only $500. The money has paid

for a one year license of video clips from the Michigan State University

ASL browser. AASD is currently creating original videos to avoid licensing

fees in the future.
