I've been teaching ASL for foreign language credit at the high school level in Tucson, AZ for 10 years, and have been learning and using SignWriting in the classroom for a year. I am also a certified teacher of the deaf, and until this year had been working with deaf/hoh students at the high school level as well. I never had a chance to use SW with the deaf students, but I still have a great interest in doing this for literacy development.<br><br>I've made some additions to the U.S. ASL SignPuddle dictionary so that I could use them as part of lessons in the classroom. I was wondering if there is an established system of feedback or discussion on the validity/correctness of various entries?
