The Great Texas Deaf Ed Road Trip: Middle Schoolers Drive Development of Virtual Learning
Wainscott, Sarah; Wainscott, William
Odyssey: New Directions in Deaf Education, v22 p4-9 2021-2022
Co-author and teacher Bill Wainscott found that his students lack simple state geography concepts. They have little sense of the historical, economic, and cultural influences that shape their state, and they are missing background knowledge that is needed to engage in grade-level curriculum concepts. This article describes the development of an online, digital field trip that allows students to virtually visit cities throughout Texas--all while improving their knowledge of geography, history, and culture within their state and remaining in their classroom. Each digital visit includes short, teacher-created videos presented in sign language and speech using straightforward language with age-appropriate concepts tied to a central theme.
