Reviews for this Online Course
- Thank you Posted by Susan on 3rd Mar 2016
Thank you for providing this self paced class. I liked begin able to pause and go back and review. - Sign language for any age class Posted by Monika on 7th Jan 2016
Although I have a year of sign language under my belt from 30 years ago and do use it in my preschool classroom now, this class was a great refresher in how I can incorporate more with my students. I appreciated that it was mostly done silently and when introducing new words, I felt I learned more from 4 different people signing the same word than if one person had done all the signing.
