Do you ooVoo?? My mentor does!! :)

I am so excited that my mentor Pat got her web cam hooked up! We used it tonight and I am thrilled that we are going to be able to connect more easily now and really it was great that she now knows how easy it is to use a web cam. There are a few "bugs" but what technology without that~ LOL I'm sure we can get it fixed soon. I actually got my sound to finally work tonight after months of not working so I was thrilled about that too! Thanks Pat!

9/18/2007 What a great meeting with Pat!

EIPA & VQAS evaluations

Okay I am guilty...after I took my EIPA & VQAS test I got the evaluation of my signing skills back but I was just so happy to pass that I didn't really read the most important part of passing the test. The diagnostic assessment of my interpreting skills. Realizing what a HUGE mistake I have made in overlooking this valuable resource for improving my signing skills I have decided to start to read and understand which areas I can improve on in ASL. Hopefully this will help me to find the questions and answers to incorporate in to the mentor program that I am currently involved with through Signs-Of-Development. More to come on this...
