1. Howdy folks!

I'm pleased to announce the "digital premiere" of my newest #deafed video. [ASL, with English subs and image descriptions.] #deafpedagogy

"The Pragmatics of Visual Tool Design A How to and Why do Guide for Practitioners of Deaf Pedagogy"

2. In this video, Part 1 - WHAT? discusses a general analysis of visual tools with plenty of examples drawn from deaf studies domains.

In Part 2 - HOW? I analyze the research literature on deaf pedagogy with visual tools, demonstrate an analysis of a master teacher's use of VTs.

3. Throughout, interactive "Pause and Reflect" sections are included. This is ideal for either self-guided study, or for use in classrooms as a "module" with deaf educator candidates and their professors in teacher preparation.

Please share widely and use in good health.

4. I created it because we need more "how to" and "why do" videos of deaf pedagogy.

Not just what the theory is, or what the research says, though this is critical, but hands-on demonstrations of enactment & in-depth analyses to support novice experienced deaf educators alike.

5. I hope you like the video. Here are some production nerd stats:

1) Producing the slides took 7 days,
2) Filming occurred in one (first!) take, via Zoom,
3a) Transcription required 4 days.
3b) It took me one hour to transcribe 5 minutes of ASL into English in YT's interface.
