Deafness+and+vodcasting

Vodcasting can be beneficial to a deaf person that is interested in learning a foreign language and other information. Closed captioning on videos is ideal for a deaf person, but unfortunately not all youtube or other videos on the web have a closed captioning. Vodcasting provides a deaf learner with videos that show sign language along with letter characters to help them read and translate text. They can also speed up or slow down the video to fit their needs. **Vodcasting with the help of ASL can help to teach receptive and expressive language. Expressive language is important for a student that's deaf and using social media. The use of delivering the content clearly and appropriately is vital to anyone using social media.**

 * Describe why a disabled person would benefit from using the web 2.0 technique that you selected. **

Barriers for using vodcasting with deafness would be if the video is not accurate and doesn’t provide the correct information that the learner is seeking. Like all information on the web, it’s important that it comes from a reliable source in order for the learner to not be miss-lead. Also, there may not be enough vodcasts made to cover all the information that a deaf person is looking for, therefore limiting the amount of videos they can watch and learn from.
 * Describe the barriers that the disabled person would face trying to use the web 2.0 technique you selected. **

The main way to help with these barriers is to do more vodcasting to get information out to deaf people so that they have plenty of resources. Also, by being cautious while using the web, you can cut down the access of useless or misleading information. Providing more videos with closed captioning can also benefit deaf people.
 * Describe how a disabled person would be able to get beyond these barriers. This may involve assistive technologies, or assistance from another student, the teacher or an assistant. **
