Vlogs: Elevating Deaf Discourse


If you missed my presentation at theย Vlog/Blog Conference on February 3rd at Gallaudet, you can see it here. In my presentation, I discussed the following; discourse, vlog samples that contributed to the elevation of our discourse, and what vlogs bring for us today and beyond at Gallaudet. Be advised that it is about 16 minutes long. Enjoy.

    Never did I realize until now that it is your first Vlog anniversary! Congratulations! It feels like just yesterday when I first saw it. Tempus fugit! As I look back, I cannot agree more with you that 2006 was the most unforgettable year since the turn of this millennium. The birth of vlog is so historic! It should be added in Dr. Jack R. Gannon’s “Deaf Heritage” because, for the record, your vlog has been one of technology’s most modern devices since our highly esteemed George Veditz’s time in 1880! I hope you will send a copy of your DVD to the Gallaudet archives.

    Long Live the Vlog!

    A big yes to Tissa Peiris. Why not, Joey? It is like a vlog course on Deaf History from different books on deaf-related issues — the way we taught to the Preppies in the classroom. More and more universities and colleges offer online courses, so I will say, “Way to go” for you to Vlog on Deaf History so deaf people around the world would watch.

    that 1913 movie cut hit me so hard as it was after my early deaf family members were born!

    thanks to ya!

    yeah -you are so simple and rather dry, but yet so clear, i do enjoy your show over some other egoisticial and so-called colorful ones. ha.

    why are you working at the sheltered workplace as a state employee? get out and get into the real world?? as a full time blogger? or you still need the school ‘s facilities?

    too hard to survive on the peanuts the real world would offer you to start off, yes i know that. but i shall bet on it that you might be successful if you are willing to gamble and dream.

    Hi, your vlog raises the standards as always. I enjoy all of them. I’m addicted. This is great. More of your very best.

    They say that language achieves permanence via record. The English language didn’t change quite so drastically once they started making printed dictionaries. Will this be the same for ASL?

    Joey, if you are interested in discussing and sharing some research ideas I have, please contact me via private e-mail.

    Thank you for doing this.

    I am an interpreter and I have to say that your vlog is making it possible for those of us who find it important to keep up on events in the Deaf community to do so. It is so important to be able to keep up.

    I can only imagine the possibilities of what this new media will do for ASL and the Deaf community at large. I am honored to be alive and a peripheral member of the Deaf World at this time.

    I admired your powerful presentations to debut the new generations of deaf/hard of hearing vloggers. It will always enrich our thoughts and discussion to share with each other. Enduring our beautiful language and expression ever. Keep it up and don’t allow the vlogs to loose. ASL Vlogs are great preservations for our history.

    Hey Joey, Great job. I just want to say as a hearing person, I have been able to gain greater insight into the Deaf community. I can read or watch other Deaf comments and concerns. Vlogs have been very educational for me. Thanks for all you great work.
