Monday Night's Back Channel Transcript

Here is the transcript that the class created using the back channel in class on Monday.  I am thrilled to see the level of sharing that took place.  I will learn to keep MY OPINIONS to myself and hope YOU will continue to share YOURS :-)!!  That's one of the great parts of this BIG class and the diversity of majors and backgrounds we have.  We will all learn a great deal from one another.

Good evening! Cathy White at 06:05 AM, 04 Feb 2013 via

Its how you identify yourself Emily T. at 23:14 PM, 11 Feb 2013 via

Hearing impaired is a negative label Cheyenne Jennings at 23:14 PM, 11 Feb 2013 via

Deaf shows pride in their culture Jackie The Great at 23:14 PM, 11 Feb 2013 via

I actually do have a hearing loss. I wear a hearing aid. Rebekah at 23:14 PM, 11 Feb 2013 via

Since connotations come with every word, we have to be careful how we describe people. Lauren Cool at 23:15 PM, 11 Feb 2013 via

If you use a term the individual does not, you could offend someone. Dan at 23:15 PM, 11 Feb 2013 via

I have auditory Processing Disorder which to some is considered a hearing loss as well Chelsea at 23:16 PM, 11 Feb 2013 via

terms/labels helps the world comprehend C. Shanks at 23:16 PM, 11 Feb 2013 via

Hearing impaired and deafness can have a cultural stigma bc of the pathological definitions associated with them Heather at 23:16 PM, 11 Feb 2013 via

Unfortunately sometimes terms are used more as labels instead of identifying factors Grizzly's mom at 23:16 PM, 11 Feb 2013 via

But how do you approach them to see what term they use... Emily Bashford at 23:17 PM, 11 Feb 2013 via

I've heard people say "just ask" Dan at 23:17 PM, 11 Feb 2013 via

I feel as tho Hard of hearing is the safest bet Chelsea at 23:17 PM, 11 Feb 2013 via

This country is sometimes obsessed with categorizing people. Most of the time the bottom line reason is for funding, or lack of.... Grizzly's mom at 23:18 PM, 11 Feb 2013 via

You wouldn't hurt my feelings to call me hard of hearing Rebekah at 23:18 PM, 11 Feb 2013 via

Deaf people tend to be blunt and would probably appreciate you asking what their identity preference is. Anna at 23:18 PM, 11 Feb 2013 via

I agree Shoop at 23:19 PM, 11 Feb 2013 via

Someone else might not agree with hoh. We are all different. Dan at 23:19 PM, 11 Feb 2013 via

I think that would be best. Great comment, Anna. E. Norton at 23:19 PM, 11 Feb 2013 via

sound is not neg?? C. Shanks at 23:20 PM, 11 Feb 2013 via

I would lean more towards whatever is the most empowering to that individual. I've never seen anyone respond negatively to that. Cheyenne Jennings at 23:20 PM, 11 Feb 2013 via

Sound, Cheyenne? Dan at 23:21 PM, 11 Feb 2013 via

i agree with matching that which is most empowering to the individual. C. Shanks at 23:21 PM, 11 Feb 2013 via

Dan: No, I was referring to HH and Deaf Cheyenne Jennings at 23:22 PM, 11 Feb 2013 via

if the individual is empowered by the term the we respect that C. Shanks at 23:23 PM, 11 Feb 2013 via

I think its more encourage than empower. To show support and not look down upon others. Emily T. at 23:23 PM, 11 Feb 2013 via

you can give respect C. Shanks at 23:23 PM, 11 Feb 2013 via

I agree with you Emily Chelsea at 23:23 PM, 11 Feb 2013 via

DEAF PRIDE, HAVE YOU? E. Norton at 23:25 PM, 11 Feb 2013 via

The Deaf Community individuals tend to use Deaf and deaf to categorize each other.. Caitlin at 23:25 PM, 11 Feb 2013 via

Good point Renee Cheyenne Jennings at 23:28 PM, 11 Feb 2013 via

Could it be related to their own pride in being deaf? I'm Lykins it at 23:28 PM, 11 Feb 2013 via

I feel as though some people turn Deaf pride into Deaf prejudice. Thoughts?? Super Nun at 23:29 PM, 11 Feb 2013 via

I think it could - all people *can* be prejudiced. PenNamez at 23:29 PM, 11 Feb 2013 via

Good point Renee and Julie. Dan at 23:29 PM, 11 Feb 2013 via

What was the deal with sound? Sound is neutral. PenNamez at 23:30 PM, 11 Feb 2013 via

What public law was it Crase at 23:32 PM, 11 Feb 2013 via

PL 94-142 PenNamez at 23:33 PM, 11 Feb 2013 via

94142? Rebekah at 23:33 PM, 11 Feb 2013 via

PL94-142 Grizzly's mom at 23:33 PM, 11 Feb 2013 via

Ty Dan at 23:33 PM, 11 Feb 2013 via

Thanks! Crase at 23:33 PM, 11 Feb 2013 via

What about those with cochlears? I've heard some in the Deaf community aren't supportive of it. Curious how they may identify themselves kayla at 23:34 PM, 11 Feb 2013 via

The section for PL 94-142 starts on page 19 Kati at 23:34 PM, 11 Feb 2013 via

As far as sound, I'm not sure if this is what you meant but before I haw told a Deaf person that had "had never heard of" something...I'd th Jordan Young at 23:35 PM, 11 Feb 2013 via

Great question kayla Crase at 23:35 PM, 11 Feb 2013 via

Is that a bad thing to say since it refers to hearing? Jordan Young at 23:35 PM, 11 Feb 2013 via

Jordan - nope. Most d/Deaf use the term "heard of" to say the same concept. PenNamez at 23:36 PM, 11 Feb 2013 via

Well, maybe "know of" PenNamez at 23:36 PM, 11 Feb 2013 via

Ok good...I don't want offend anyone, but just didn't know how else to say it. Thanks! Jordan Young at 23:37 PM, 11 Feb 2013 via

it refers to taking in information... it doesn't always mean you "hear" it. Emily T. at 23:37 PM, 11 Feb 2013 via

I once had a professor that said facts were not real....at all Emily Bashford at 23:39 PM, 11 Feb 2013 via

Thaaat's a philosophical problem... PenNamez at 23:40 PM, 11 Feb 2013 via

Facts are sometimes only the popular belief. True. World flat and all that. Dan at 23:40 PM, 11 Feb 2013 via

Interesting, shocking, hard to believe... Dan at 23:42 PM, 11 Feb 2013 via

The other law I couldn't remember the number was 101-476 Mrs. White at 23:47 PM, 11 Feb 2013 via

Did i read that correctly that he got punched in the face? Chelsea at 23:56 PM, 11 Feb 2013 via

Seriously... Dan at 23:57 PM, 11 Feb 2013 via

But that punch changed his entire mindset and pushed him forward...... Grizzly's mom at 23:57 PM, 11 Feb 2013 via

8th paragraph up Chelsea at 23:58 PM, 11 Feb 2013 via

Punches to the face: moving us forward since 1797 PenNamez at 23:58 PM, 11 Feb 2013 via

lol Priceless Chelsea at 23:59 PM, 11 Feb 2013 via

Haha! Cheyenne Jennings at 23:59 PM, 11 Feb 2013 via

Does "profoundly" deaf mean "entirely" deaf? Or what does that mean... Lauren Cool at 00:03 AM, 12 Feb 2013 via

Profound is a hearing loss over 90 dB Renee at 00:04 AM, 12 Feb 2013 via

I think so Crase at 00:04 AM, 12 Feb 2013 via

Yes Shoop at 00:04 AM, 12 Feb 2013 via

I've heard hot oil is one liquid that people used on deaf. PenNamez at 00:05 AM, 12 Feb 2013 via

my favorite "cure": taking children in airplane rides and flipping in air would bring hearing back. Whit at 00:05 AM, 12 Feb 2013 via

definition of Profoundly is "intensely" Emily T. at 00:05 AM, 12 Feb 2013 via

loss over 90 db aka...Deaf Shoop at 00:05 AM, 12 Feb 2013 via

what do you mean flipping in air? Chelsea at 00:06 AM, 12 Feb 2013 via

Rolling the plane I believe Dan at 00:07 AM, 12 Feb 2013 via

Uncle Clerc... awesome Super Nun at 00:07 AM, 12 Feb 2013 via

flipping the plane in loops. something about the pressure from that helped to "bring back hearing" from "Through Deaf Eyes" video in library Whit at 00:07 AM, 12 Feb 2013 via

Thats crazy Crase at 00:07 AM, 12 Feb 2013 via

agreed haha Whit at 00:08 AM, 12 Feb 2013 via

Does anyone know if the school is still in France? Can you visit? PenNamez at 00:08 AM, 12 Feb 2013 via

Sounds very safe... Chelsea at 00:08 AM, 12 Feb 2013 via

I'm super nun. Not an angry nun!! Super Nun at 00:10 AM, 12 Feb 2013 via

Thats awesome Crase at 00:10 AM, 12 Feb 2013 via

Thanks :) Super Nun at 00:11 AM, 12 Feb 2013 via

They solomely swore they were up to no good..... Emily Bashford at 00:12 AM, 12 Feb 2013 via

is it Gall-ah-det or Gall-you-det?! PenNamez at 00:12 AM, 12 Feb 2013 via

the first way Shoop at 00:12 AM, 12 Feb 2013 via

Glad we covered that. Super Nun at 00:13 AM, 12 Feb 2013 via

AMEN Joe! Shoop at 00:13 AM, 12 Feb 2013 via

maybe no one knows... Rebekah at 00:14 AM, 12 Feb 2013 via

haha, just curious PenNamez at 00:14 AM, 12 Feb 2013 via

Mischief managed Jackie The Great at 00:14 AM, 12 Feb 2013 via

Jackie! You made my night! Emily Bashford at 00:16 AM, 12 Feb 2013 via

Uh oh Super Nun at 00:16 AM, 12 Feb 2013 via

Butterfly Effect Shoop at 00:17 AM, 12 Feb 2013 via

Can we have a field trip to Gallaudet? Grizzly's mom at 00:20 AM, 12 Feb 2013 via

True biz. Jacobs Hall is cool PenNamez at 00:20 AM, 12 Feb 2013 via

Ah yes. 80's theme music during introductions. =) PenNamez at 00:24 AM, 12 Feb 2013 via

I WISH we could take a field trip to Gally Cathy at 00:24 AM, 12 Feb 2013 via

Spring Break! Chelsea at 00:25 AM, 12 Feb 2013 via

80's music because this is a HISTORY lesson :-) Cathy at 00:25 AM, 12 Feb 2013 via

OVERHEAD!!!!! Did he know about computers?? Cathy at 00:26 AM, 12 Feb 2013 via

DEAF still EAR-CLOSED in '89. PenNamez at 00:26 AM, 12 Feb 2013 via

Interesting Signs Shoop at 00:26 AM, 12 Feb 2013 via

The Deaf Academic Bowl is taking place at Gally during EKU's Spring break.. It would be an awesome experience ;) Caitlin at 00:26 AM, 12 Feb 2013 via

were we suppose to do something with these sticky notes? Megan at 00:27 AM, 12 Feb 2013 via

It's interesting the effect simcom has on the quality of communication of both Lang. Anna at 00:27 AM, 12 Feb 2013 via

Was the man speaking using ASL or English sign? I'm Lykins it at 00:27 AM, 12 Feb 2013 via

Yes. I want the interesting fact ones. Cathy at 00:28 AM, 12 Feb 2013 via

English Dan at 00:28 AM, 12 Feb 2013 via

Thanks Dan I'm Lykins it at 00:29 AM, 12 Feb 2013 via

:-) I think I'll sign the rest of the class - like I did for 11 years in the classroom! Cathy at 00:29 AM, 12 Feb 2013 via

Thats a small class Crase at 00:29 AM, 12 Feb 2013 via

If they are educating them why did they still call them deaf and dumb? Emily T. at 00:29 AM, 12 Feb 2013 via

How many schools for the Deaf are there total in America? Kalae' at 00:29 AM, 12 Feb 2013 via

Do it! Meow at 00:30 AM, 12 Feb 2013 via

I wonder if their view of "dumb" when the school was named is what we think of it now.. Kayla at 00:30 AM, 12 Feb 2013 via

Good question Emily. Anna at 00:30 AM, 12 Feb 2013 via

I'm gonna punch that announcer in the face if he says deaf and dumb one more time! Shoop at 00:30 AM, 12 Feb 2013 via

Dumb = mute Cathy at 00:30 AM, 12 Feb 2013 via

I don't think English used the term "dumb" to mean "stupid" until later. PenNamez at 00:30 AM, 12 Feb 2013 via

I believe "dumb" referred to lack of speaking, not intelligence. Kati at 00:30 AM, 12 Feb 2013 via

dumb can be used more as not able to speak Jackie The Great at 00:30 AM, 12 Feb 2013 via

Good questions. Dan at 00:30 AM, 12 Feb 2013 via

True Jackie. Was used that way. I wonder when dumb began to mean stupid. Dan at 00:31 AM, 12 Feb 2013 via

Does anyone know if they are still fighting to keep there school? Crase at 00:32 AM, 12 Feb 2013 via

so dumb was related strictly to speech? Emily T. at 00:32 AM, 12 Feb 2013 via

Unfortunately, IDS is STILL fighting to keep the school open. E. Norton at 00:32 AM, 12 Feb 2013 via

I think so. I mean, "asylum" used to mean "safe place" PenNamez at 00:32 AM, 12 Feb 2013 via

Yes. Dumb meant unable to use speech Cathy at 00:32 AM, 12 Feb 2013 via

Ever heard the song pinball wizard? there is a line that deaf dumb and blind kid... it kinda shows the use of dumb as mute Jackie The Great at 00:33 AM, 12 Feb 2013 via

Last year my ASL Club at John A. Logan College paid to have the Little Theater of the Deaf go to ISD to helo raise support & awareness for t E. Norton at 00:33 AM, 12 Feb 2013 via

...for ISD E. Norton at 00:33 AM, 12 Feb 2013 via

Thats really cool Crase at 00:33 AM, 12 Feb 2013 via

EKU's library has several additions of the American annals of the Deaf Cheyenne Jennings at 00:35 AM, 12 Feb 2013 via

It was such a blessing they were willing to go (LTD doesn't usually go to IL). I think the event was a great success. E. Norton at 00:35 AM, 12 Feb 2013 via

may not be the appropriat time but ASLA the American Sign Language org has a hearts and hands dance. C. Shanks at 00:35 AM, 12 Feb 2013 via

That is awesome that you got to be a part ofthat. Crase at 00:35 AM, 12 Feb 2013 via

*editions Cheyenne Jennings at 00:37 AM, 12 Feb 2013 via

How interesting, students teaching teachers to teach other students I'm Lykins it at 00:37 AM, 12 Feb 2013 via

Oral School - thoughts? Cathy at 00:41 AM, 12 Feb 2013 via

Is LSD still an Oral school? Emily T. at 00:41 AM, 12 Feb 2013 via

Have a strong oral program Cathy at 00:41 AM, 12 Feb 2013 via

Was the police officer interpreting in that clip? Anna at 00:42 AM, 12 Feb 2013 via

Handicap???? Shoop at 00:42 AM, 12 Feb 2013 via

That's a really interesting take: everyone has handicaps PenNamez at 00:42 AM, 12 Feb 2013 via

It takes two to make a thing go right...... Meow at 00:43 AM, 12 Feb 2013 via

"special needs" PenNamez at 00:43 AM, 12 Feb 2013 via

It is my understanding that oral schools focus more on teaching speech and lip reading rather than all other classes such as math, history.. Cheyenne Jennings at 00:44 AM, 12 Feb 2013 via

Anna-The police officer WAS interpreting the clip. E. Norton at 00:44 AM, 12 Feb 2013 via

notice their signs... talk about the evolution of language. Emily T. at 00:44 AM, 12 Feb 2013 via

We definitely all have our own struggles, regardless of what you call it.. Lauren Cool at 00:44 AM, 12 Feb 2013 via

I just say everyone is weird until you get to know them... then their even weird-er. It's awesome. E. Norton at 00:45 AM, 12 Feb 2013 via

wow! Allice statue in hands C. Shanks at 00:45 AM, 12 Feb 2013 via

Love the clip of tactile signing. Dan at 00:46 AM, 12 Feb 2013 via

E I like that! Crase at 00:47 AM, 12 Feb 2013 via

But the man was using being deaf as a handicap- so is that what it means to have a handicap still? Or a "struggle"? Something to think about Heather at 00:47 AM, 12 Feb 2013 via

Me too Dan. Can't wait to go on the Deaf-Blind retreat. Anna at 00:47 AM, 12 Feb 2013 via

I have been to the Clark School for the Deaf, an oral school in North Hampton, Mass. They teach curriculum like public schools Cathy at 00:48 AM, 12 Feb 2013 via

Equality without sameness PenNamez at 00:48 AM, 12 Feb 2013 via

So it is possible to disagree agreeably... great example. Emily T. at 00:49 AM, 12 Feb 2013 via

I agree with TBC. At Logan, my teacher was a strict ASL user, so I have become quite attached to it, & admittedly, I cringe when I see "Eng E. Norton at 00:49 AM, 12 Feb 2013 via

"English on the hands" E. Norton at 00:49 AM, 12 Feb 2013 via

It is something I am trying to work on, though. E. Norton at 00:50 AM, 12 Feb 2013 via

I think handicap is a word that was once used. Now we use different words that are more up to date and socially accepted. Shelby at 00:50 AM, 12 Feb 2013 via

After learning ASL it's annoying to see every single word signed or finger spelled Jordan Young at 00:50 AM, 12 Feb 2013 via

Why? Super Nun at 00:51 AM, 12 Feb 2013 via

Maybe overwhelming is a better word... Not annoying... Sorry, that sounded way negative Jordan Young at 00:54 AM, 12 Feb 2013 via

If you dont mind me asking. Why is it over whelming Crase at 00:55 AM, 12 Feb 2013 via

Maybe my comprehension is wrong. About the closest I can compare is ppl I know from other places that cringe at different accents. Dan at 00:57 AM, 12 Feb 2013 via

I guess just not what I'm used to seeing, but to me when every single word is signed or spelled it starts to jumble.. I need to work on it Jordan Young at 00:57 AM, 12 Feb 2013 via

It's just not ASL, doesn't mean its wrong though Shoop at 00:58 AM, 12 Feb 2013 via

Making a funny on people worried about snow: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i6zaVYWLTkU&feature=youtube_gdata_player Funny haha at 01:01 AM, 12 Feb 2013 via

WHat ASL you in Kayla? Shoop at 01:04 AM, 12 Feb 2013 via

201 Kayla at 01:05 AM, 12 Feb 2013 via

You'll start learning about it more 201 and 202 Shoop at 01:06 AM, 12 Feb 2013 via

Ok! I was wondering cause it gets aggravating sometimes lol Kayla at 01:15 AM, 12 Feb 2013 via
