Andre -
Do you have some ideas of how to develop such materials for Deaf  
kids? Maybe you can design such educational material regarding  
computers for young deaf children...and share that with us...I have  
never heard of any work on this specific subject so this would be a  
first I believe...

By the way, the Video Instruction we have is very new...the first  
video instruction I ever created was in early 2007 I believe...so it  
wasn't possible for Stefan's students to watch video instruction  
years ago...

List members....How do you teach computers to Deaf kids?

Val ;-)
