I'd love to see/watch some videos about those who are on the hard of hearing spectrum who have important jobs like lawyers, doctors, etc. I'm so happy that Gallaudet University now has its first deaf president and that the students who go there were able to stand up for themselves in a very positive way in order to get the positive changes that they all wanted!!
You beat me to it! I was thinking about doing a Deaf history series too! Though I have thought about making it more international, such as the history of France and Deaf education with L'Épée, things like that and doing spotlight videos about certain people who really influenced history around the world. In 8th grade, I did a report on DPN. A lot of students were surprised to learn about it. Even my teacher didn't know about it, which was a bit strange, now that I think back on it.
Thank you! I'm hearing and want to learn about Deaf culture. I appreciate being able to listen to this information while I work. And later, I can watch so I can learn the signs you're using. ^_^
Awesome video! Really like to see videos like this one. So much of culture is more than just language. You both are great and I can't wait for the next one!
Love that you did a video on this!! I'm actually doing my National History Day project on this topic and I'm glad I get to share this with my class and the judges.
Amazing that there hadn't been a Deaf president sooner. It seems like having a Deaf president would be the obvious choice because they would understand the students and teachers needs in the school.
Hi there! i love the video btw it teaches so much about the deaf culture. i am trying to teach myself to sign but for now im sticking to PSE until i can find a place around my area that teaches ASL. But the reason im writing today is because i have a question, when i see videos of people teach signs i see them doing it twice for example the sign for "know" they touch their temple with a b shape hand and they tap it twice. my question is; is that really necessary when signing to tap my temple twice or is it just once ok? is the same with a lot other once like if or fine or... of course i cant think of any more right now other than does three but in any case do i need to do it twice or just once is ok?
[Jenna] it really depends on which sign and what context. Sometimes I sign twice to put an emphasis on it. Sometimes sign something twice will give it a little different meaning. For example, word "know" you sign once, but "knowledge" usually means you tap twice. Taking ASL classes/lessons will help you learn more about that.
ok i understand thanks! one more question because i dont want to be insulting anyone. Is it true that if i PSE deaf people wouldnt understand me and they will get offended? i yhink i heard or read that somewhere and i wanted to know because i dont want to be insulting anyone by pse but is the only thing i can learn right now on my one until i find a place to learn ASL but i really want to be able yo comunicate with deaf n hard of hearing
Not all Deaf people will find PSE insulting. Some can understand it fine and others won't. It really depends on individual. You can always say you are learning and most will be understanding and may help you with feedback.
ASAN(Autistic Self Advocacy Network) could learn from this scenario on what to do right when advocating for the needs of Autistic People instead of trying to buddy up to the very "entities" that is saying and doing the very same things as Elizabeth Spillman did(saying that we are a burden on our families and communities, having a neurotypical parent make comments about wanting to harm/kill their child(mind you while shes in the room). If it was not for DPN alot of changes would never have been made beyond just Gallaudet.
So glad you started with DPN!!! I loved learning all about this and seeing footage in my Deaf Culture class.
[Jenna] Yes, DPN is such an important part of American Deaf history!
Hey-your video was linked in my job's (Vsdb) informational ASL PowerPoint. You have a a cool TH-cam channel! Thank you. ✌

[Jill] Yes, maybe we can also do spotlights on current Deaf role models in different industries. Will add to the list! Thanks!
Love love love your channel and what you do Thank you for helping me become a better interpreter!

[Jill] Haha, great minds think alike. Many people are not aware of a lot of the history of their own country.
Thank you! I'm hearing and want to learn about Deaf culture. I appreciate being able to listen to this information while I work. And later, I can watch so I can learn the signs you're using. ^_^
Excellent synopsis of what happened. Thank you.
[Jenna] Glad you enjoyed the video!
Would love a video about Claudia Gordon: First Black Deaf Lawyer :)
[Jenna] Good suggestion!
Awesome video! Really like to see videos like this one. So much of culture is more than just language. You both are great and I can't wait for the next one!
[Jenna] You're right history is important part of culture. :)
Love that you did a video on this!! I'm actually doing my National History Day project on this topic and I'm glad I get to share this with my class and the judges.
[Jenna] Awesome! Thank you for sharing our video with your class!
I loved this video! I never knew about any of this and I love knowing more about the Deaf culture and history.
[Jenna] Always good to learn something new everyday. :)
This is so interesting and important! Thanks for making this series, really appreciate the work you've put into it :)
[Jenna] You're welcome!
Thank you so much for this information! I am a new signer, and taking a SEE class at my college. Your videos are so helpful! Thank you for them! :)
[Jenna] Glad the videos are helpful for you!
April 15, 2017 will be the 200 year anniversary of the first Deaf school in the United States.
In Hartford, Connecticut.
[Jenna] Yes, important day to celebrate!
Crz4wizard West Hartford, Ct is the current location.
Amazing that there hadn't been a Deaf president sooner. It seems like having a Deaf president would be the obvious choice because they would understand the students and teachers needs in the school.
[Jenna] Exactly! Unfortunately, it is common in many Deaf educational institutions.
Hi Jill and Jenna, I'm in FSDB. Have Civil war deaf people? Can you explain me?

[Jenna] You're welcome!
There was a film made abt DEAF PRESIDENT NOW, when i was in college, my teacher had it, and ahowed us, soooo powerful and true
[Jill] Cool :)

#Gaulludette - or #Gualledette #University - #DPN was a #major #victory! 🤟
Wondering if you have ghost stories you have experienced that you could tell... :P
[Jenna] Sure, that's a good idea.
FYI, voice interpreter mispronounced the name of student leader Greg Hlibok as "Hill-Bok" but should be "Lie-Bok" (H is silent).
Oh sorry. Btw I, Jill, do all the voiceover work.
ASAN(Autistic Self Advocacy Network) could learn from this scenario on what to do right when advocating for the needs of Autistic People instead of trying to buddy up to the very "entities" that is saying and doing the very same things as Elizabeth Spillman did(saying that we are a burden on our families and communities, having a neurotypical parent make comments about wanting to harm/kill their child(mind you while shes in the room). If it was not for DPN alot of changes would never have been made beyond just Gallaudet.
I am doing a report on this. I wish to be an interpreter
[Jenna] Great, wish you best of luck with your report.
