Teaching Science incorporating SignWriting

[Ingvild Roald]

Sure Cerie, 

go ahead. If you need anything more, tell me. Or if anyone else would want to know ...

And I still have my disseration for sale, $ 25 + postage, if anyone would want that, just let me know.

I have already written a couple signs on the board, next to the English.  One class either didn't notice (not sure how...) or just ignored the crazy lady, the other class wanted to know more.  

 I have read about Ingvild's work before, and I am eager to steal all her ideas.  (I mean that in a nice way... ::grin::)  Wait, as a scientist, its called duplicating her results, not stealing ideas, so I am okay, right?

Hello 
Cherie!
This 
is 
quite 
exciting. 
Congratulations 
on 
your 
new 
teaching 
position  
at 
Georgia 
School 
for 
the 
Deaf!

And 
incorporating 
SignWriting 
into 
the 
science 
classroom 
is 
quite  
progressive...

Did 
you 
know 
that 
years 
ago 
Dr. 
Ingvild 
Roald, 
from 
Norway, 
taught  
physics 
classes 
at 
a 
school 
for 
the 
Deaf 
in 
Norway?

...and 
Ingvild 
used 
SignWriting 
to 
record 
the 
name 
of 
plants 
species  
and 
other 
science 
terminology, 
such 
as 
atoms, 
neutrons 
etc 
in  
Norwegian 
Sign 
Language....

So 
SignWriting 
has 
been 
used 
as 
a 
tool 
in 
science 
classes 
before

There 
is 
an 
article 
about 
it 
on 
the 
web...

Go 
to:
http://www.signwriting.org/forums/linguistics/

and 
it 
is 
the 
first 
article, 
called 
"Terminology 
in 
the 
Making"...

It 
starts 
here:

http://www.signwriting.org/forums/linguistics/ling036.html

and 
continues 
for 
many 
web 
pages, 
explaining 
how 
the 
terminology 
for  
atoms, 
and 
neutrons 
etc 
were 
developed 
and 
then 
written 
in 
a 
physics  
terminology 
dictionary 
and 
so 
forth...

Anyway, 
keep 
us 
informed 
as 
to 
your 
work...

Val 
;-)
