Schools using SignWriting

[Charles Butler]

Yes, in Brazil here in Porto Alegre, there is Concordia Lutheran School for the Deaf.  In Florianopolis, there is a new graduate school level program in linguistics using Sign Writing everywhere.  I wish it had been highlighted at the TESLR conference, but that will have to wait for the next time.

Take a look at this wonderful Power Point demonstration from the 
Kasterlinden School:

You can download the presentation in its entirety...

Plus don't forget the schools using SignWriting in Brazil...

and there is a half-hour TV program on kids in Germany using 
SignWriting that is wonderful...
