It looks great!</div><div><br></div><div>I agree that animated SignWriting is valuable as an educational tool…I think others agree too -</div><div><br></div><div>Would you, or anyone else, be interested in working on a new project…an Animated SignWriting Dictionary on the web?</div><div><br></div><div>Take a look at this web page:</div><div><br></div><div><a href="http://www.movementwriting.org/animation/sgn-US/">http://www.movementwriting.org/animation/sgn-US/</a></div><div><br></div><div>It is a simple page that shows the sign written in SignWriting, and to the right of the sign, is the animated version of it…</div><div><br></div><div>We could have an entire site devoted to this Animated SignWriting Dictionary and Animated SignWriting Literature idea…</div><div><br></div><div>It could be a relaxed project for fun with no deadlines or any pressure at all (I do not like deadlines or pressure ;-) </div><div><br></div><div>Just whenever the whim hits, do a few animations, and save them in a file. Then we can post them in a new site...</div><div><br></div><div>The project could be done for any sign language, and essentially be like a SignPuddle Online but for animated signs -</div><div><br></div><div>And that brings up the next question….Steve and Jonathan…could SignPuddle and SignWriter Studio store animated GIFs?</div><div><br></div><div>Val ;-)</div><div><br></div><div>-------</div><div><br></div><div><br><div><div>On Jan 6, 2014, at 9:50 AM, André L <<a href="mailto:andre-andre@hotmail.ca">andre-andre@hotmail.ca</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><div class="hmmessage" style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;"><div dir="ltr">Hello,<br>Animations might be an intuitive way to teach signwriting to deaf children.<br>It uses their knowledge of sign language.<br>The movements make the writing more intuitive, closer to their experience.<br>There are less symbols to read at once.<br>It is easy to display on a screen, a computer or on paper.<br>A teacher can write on a slide with the mouse during the class.<br>It is possible to create a power point show (does not require power point to be displayed).<br> <br>Here is an example of one animated word.
