Maybe a repeated link

However, it is important enough it should be shared again.

Resources for the Deaf and hard of hearing regarding the H1N1 virus.

Videos are in sign language, courtesy of Deafmd.org, but now also available at the CDC (Center for Disease Control)

Deaf History

And a cool link besides.

I found at google books "The Chautauquan", a monthly magazine dated April 1899 to September 1899.

All sorts of fun stuff in it.

The reason I share it here is the article that begins on page 40. It is called "Life in the Deaf and Dumb World" by Gillet Wilson. Written as a response to the 81st anniversary of the founding of the School for Deaf-Mutes in Hartford Conencticut.

Talk about a blast from the past - read it and see how far we have come-or not.

Links Monday

Yeah, a little early today. But I was so excited to find this site at the White House.

As far as I can tell, every video has a closed caption option. Just press start so it begins to load, the click on the icon on the bottom right of the screen and click "cc on." If it turns red, you did it.

And for those who might have missed it, you can see the captioned video of his address to the school children.

I love it when our government is accessible!
