writing <br>of the first ASL article in an encyclopedia in SignWriting using <br>SignText. The explanation would be in ASL on the video of course. We <br>could do some good camera work, showing how the whole process was <br>completed beginning to end. And the whole video could be captioned in <br>written English and ASL too! This video-DVD-presentation could then <br>be presented to an audience in Taipei whether we travel there or <br>not...so in one project, we would:<br><br>1. show that an article in an encyclopedia can be written in ASL<br>2. show the value of SignText and SignPuddle and how to use it<br>4. show the value of captions in ASL on ASL videos<br>5. show how we can do bilingual captions in ASL and English<br><br>so it would be like a documentary..."Writing the First Encyclopedia <br>Article in ASL"<br><br>Maybe it could be shown on PBS (Public Broadcasting Television in
the <br>US)<br><br>Val ;-)<br><br></div></div><br></div></div><br>
