Check out the new Deaf Education Website

I recently received an email encouraging deaf educators to visit the new Deaf Education Website.

The following email...

As you may recall, the Deaf Education Web site (http://www.deafed.net/) was created via a series of U.S. Dept. of Ed. PT3 grants, i.e., “Preparing Tomorrows Teachers to use Technology. Those grants ended in 2006. Since that time, I have been using a number of small grants to support the Web site. Unfortunately, the small grants have run out. Fortunately, the CEC Division for Communicative Disabilities and Deafness (DCDD) (www.dcdd.us/) elected to provide support for the Deaf Education Web site through April of 2011. This support is based on the plan to increase DCDD’s membership by increasing the visibility of the Division. Given that the Deaf Education Web site receives 300-400 “hits” a day, this sounds like a reasonable plan. Your help is requested to make DCDD’s plan a success. A success that will help ensure the ongoing availability of the Deaf Education Web site for us all.


My request


1. Please forward the attached message to your colleagues.


2. Encourage your colleagues to use the Deaf Education Web site to search for resumes, post positions and investigate our shared Deaf Education knowledge base.


3. If possible, please encourage your colleagues to consider joining Division for Communicative Disabilities and Deafness. A hyperlink is provided on the attached document that walks them through the membership process and benefits.



Thank you for your help in this matter. I value you, the Deaf Education Web site, the Division for Communicative Disabilities and Deafness, and your colleagues and the work that we are all doing to enhance Deaf Education.

Respectfully,
Harold Johnson

P.S. if you have any suggestions re. the ongoing development, use, and funding of the Deaf Education Web site, I would LIKE to hear from you.
