Also, his sister and my sister went to this other deaf school. I love Brianna and A.V.'s grandfather, who was one of all deaf maintenance men at this first deaf school that I attended from pre-K to 8th grade. He's a comedian and a loving man.

I believe it needs to be made by BOTH deaf and hearing, so that hearing would be wiling to watch the film. Some of my hearing acquaintances have already told me that they did not feel they were entitled to making any comments on the DeafRead.com, feeling it is for the deaf audience only. They'd feel the same way about the film being made by the deaf only. We need a well-balanced, factual, neutral film with lots of statistics. That is my viewpoint....Karen Mayeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08489062601774194183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37179429.post-4182537926257375412007-04-01T22:11:00.000-04:002007-04-01T22:11:00.000-04:00Hey BarbCute kids and they articulate so well!Yep,...Hey Barb<BR/><BR/>Cute kids and they articulate so well!<BR/><BR/>Yep, as I stated on my vlog on the same topic, educational part is sorely missing.

It's the only way. Some hearing teachers will take the trouble to learn, but most will not -- and I don't even blame them, for they are in the dominant culture. But we need to encourage more deaf instructers especially in elementary schools...BEGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09301965824694092800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37179429.post-22766576768576202752007-04-01T15:29:00.000-04:002007-04-01T15:29:00.000-04:00Well If there have DEAF/HOH proiders sand it wou...Well If there have DEAF/HOH proiders sand it would be different story and better to understand about more information of them than Hearing ppl does because Hearing still have powr and lack to understand about DEAF/HOH One day they would wake up what are DEAF/HOh look like in our history!mule4350https://www.blogger.com/profile/12985110859274605220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37179429.post-63588313632863856072007-04-01T14:39:00.000-04:002007-04-01T14:39:00.000-04:00Hello y'all!

Thanks for your kind words.<BR/><BR/>We still have lots more to do to make future segments that focus on each area such as cochlear implant, deaf education, deaf history, etc. I had mentioned in my part two that it was not possible to cram everything from 200 years to 2 hours. We just need to elaborate each area by producing more documentary films.<BR/><BR/>Making critics are not necessarily a bad thing since it is healthy to notice what needs to be covered or not be covered. How are we supposed to improve if we refrain from criticizing?<BR/><BR/>In the real world, there are many movie critics like Roger and Ebert so why can't deaf vloggers have the opportunity to analyze and criticize? <BR/><BR/>We had shared positive parts as well. Anon, I am not sure what are you implying about throwing a tantrum since it is not what we vloggers are displaying but sharing our feedback. Anon, it seems like you have something to say about famous deaf people so vent it out, it is good for your heart, lol. By the way, PBS did feature some of the famous deaf people like Benard Bragg, Marlee Matlin, Jack Gannon, etc. <BR/><BR/>I just feel that since we have wonderful deaf moviemakers today, they could team up with PBS to make it a more balanced view coming from actual deaf eyes.<BR/><BR/>Mishka,<BR/><BR/>My kids enjoyed vlogging and I will continue to encourage them to develop their critical thinking skills and sharing their views. Glad you and the others enjoyed them.<BR/><BR/>Peace,<BR/><BR/>Barb DiGiBarb DiGihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01782821203852989863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37179429.post-54721910305811799672007-04-01T13:45:00.001-04:002007-04-01T13:45:00.001-04:00Barb, I want to comment that I enjoy seeing your k...Barb, I want to comment that I enjoy seeing your kids expressing their opinions.

It would have been nice to expand more on Gallaudet/Clerc as well saying about Sidekick/Blackberry. However, remember it was two hours and it is not possible to cram everything in two hours. I would STRONGLY encourage you to get in touch with PBS and encourage them to have a series of Deaf History. I am happy though they talked about AGB as he is portray as an idiot who drag the Deaf education back to the dark ages. Finally, they realized his methods didn't quite cut it. Still amazes me how every Vlog I've seen, someone is not happy about something with "Through Deaf eyes". Making a film is not easy especially alloting time for two hours. Think twice about criticing as there are a vast information about Deaf history. Like for example, they could have talk more about famous deaf people but they didn't talk about it, you don't see me throwing a tantrum about it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37179429.post-33275735364908233142007-04-01T12:57:00.000-04:002007-04-01T12:57:00.000-04:00White Ghost, Don't y mind telling me what "TDE" ...White Ghost, <BR/><BR/> Don't y mind telling me what "TDE" stands for?

That way the deaf children can prove to the world that they are equally to the hearing's writing skills. <BR/><BR/>I believe that the producers did not get the whole information about the preservance of the deaf's diversity.<BR/><BR/>White GhostAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37179429.post-76645561992563310382007-04-01T11:17:00.000-04:002007-04-01T11:17:00.000-04:00yes, we need to get going with our documentary: De...yes, we need to get going with our documentary: Deaf Culture and ASL exclusively made by Deaf people.:Dmishkazenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07714824721166601510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37179429.post-82844008032971979982007-04-01T10:12:00.000-04:002007-04-01T10:12:00.000-04:00Yes I'm sure it was a good learning experience for...Yes I'm sure it was a good learning experience for your kids to watch this program.
