Social Network for the Deaf - TagDeaf.com

The social networking software that I selected was that of TagDeaf.com. When I think of social networking the first thing that comes to my mind is that of streaming video. That is probably because that was my first exposure to social networking. I went into YouTube to view a video about progress in libraries.
It is usually the social aspect of social networking that is picked up. Social networking suggest sites such as Myspace.com and Facebook. Social networking also has a more serious side. Tagdeaf.com is a great example of how social networking can be used to provide a much needed service in the global community.

Tagdeaf.com was launched by Alex Chu In June of 06. It is the first Social Network designed for the deaf community. TagDeaf.com, like all social networks, is designed with the needs of a targeted audience in mind. This particular social network is so special because it is the first, and I believe only, social network designed for a deaf audience. The hearing world often does not understand that the deaf community is a culture all its own. Culture is grounded in language, and people in the deaf community have their own language. It may be assumed that because communication via the Internet does not require the use of speech that it would not be as much of a problem for the deaf community, but truth is that the grammatical rules and syntax for American Sign Language are quite different from that English.

It’s difficult to say whether or not this particular social network would be conducive to a distance education learning environment. It would provide a great reference for studying the needs of the deaf community.

Google Talk in distance education

I have used instant messaging in teaching online. The learning platform for the class is elearning. I thought that this was a disadvantage at first, not having the chat board that is available on WebCT. I later found that the instant messaging has some real advantages. The students do not have to be at a computer with the Java necesssary for Vista. There is also the advantage of messages being taken when you are away from the computer. In looking at the Google Talk I found that they also have a feature for conferencing.
