[sw-l] Joining the SW list!

[Kathleen Heylen]

Hello,

thank you very much! I will show it to my pupils :o)
I'm not planning on filling this dictionary because there is a Flemish Sign Language dictionary availible on the internet: http://ugent.gebaren.be
But i doubt if it is in English too. 
But i will try to motivate my students to participate in this dictionary building ;o)

Greetz Kathleen

  Hi Kathleen,

  Welcome to the list.  I'm one of the hearing programmers.

  If you would like to see Flemish sign langauge on the Internet in SignWriting, maybe you (and your class?) could help build SignBank's online dictionaries?  You can add signs to the dictionary using Sign Maker, a javascript application.  It's not typing like SignWriter.  It uses drag and drop.  

  I've created a Sign Puddle dictionary for Flemish SL so you can try it out.  
  http://signbank.org/signpuddle/sgn-BE-VLG/

  If you're interested I can make you an editor for the dictionary so you can rename and delete signs.

    Hello,

    My name is Kathleen Heylen and i'm a motivated teacher from Belgium. I work in a bilingual school for d/Deaf children in Brussels, our beatiful capitol ;o)
    I started to use SignWriting with my pupils last year and it was an amazing experience for the children and for me too. Suddenly Flemish Signlanguage became more clear, and a full and worthy language. Just like our majority 'spoken' language, Flemish.

    I hope to learn more about SignWriting and how other teachers in different country's use it. 
    Not only that, i really wanted to see something about Flemish signlanguage and SignWriting on the internet ;o)

    Greetings,
    Kathleen Heylen
