Fantastic vlog, I’m glad to see that DeafRead.com is already being picked up by some educators around the USA and who knows, maybe some educators are using it in Canada too!

I’m quite glad to see that we’re all making an impact on some people already by sharing our opinions, feelings and experiences with each other. I plan on making more vlogs and caption them too as well. I plan to juggle both vlog and blog entries on a frequent basis. I hope a lot of deaf bloggers follow suit too. Even though I don’t need captions to understand ASL as I’m fluent in it. However, I try to avoid using reverse discrimination because I’m an advocate for captioning at theatres, on TV and everywhere

Again, thanks for the fantastic vlog entry!

Nice vlog! Reed has a natural talent for ASL! Props to him in recommending DeafRead.com to his students. Both teacher and student alike are enriched by the whole blogging experience.

Deaf-initely agree with the concept of blogging and Vlogging as a benefit for EXPOSING our culture to the masses. What I’d like to see, is that we do BETTER than the hearing society does. They don’t put captions on things unless we beg, scream, and bang on doors. Let’s show them how easy it is, how it can be done, how it can be done CHEAPLY (or free) and show them that there is no reason THEY can’t do the same thing, too!

Hi, this is George Sierra. I am deaf. Same idea as Mr. Reed said. I support the idea of vlog. Educate hearing people about deaf culture and their belief.

“HOT!” sezs the professor. How it “roars” so true. I expressed last May in a blog in response to a social science professor at Gallaudet who discounted this deaf movement and that he was so biased and ignorant to realize that this is a major cultural and sociological event for deaf people. This was something his students can benefit through research and discourse. His loss is someone else gain. Indeed, this is a renaissance; better yet, a revolution for all diversified deaf people getting involved in various issues in discourse via text and video. I figure there has to be someone, anyone, who can see this phenomenon and sure enough, there is someone worthy of a professor who’s willing to inform the students that this is something worth partaking into. Kudos for that. It is also significant that the folks in DeafRead saw to it that it happen for everyone to come together in one unified space and strive for communication, discourse, change, and unity – together. Now that’s “HOT!”
