Many of the questions that were asked were referencing specific material that the chapter in the text had outlined as critical information regarding how families of deaf individuals relate to the child/person who is deaf and to one another. Rather than presenting it from a "text book" scenario it's great to know that you found benefit in learning the material through authentic experiences as different people shared their "real lives" with you.
One post had asked that perhaps the next time this activity occurs, the class could vote on the questions they would like to be asked during the panel so that all students would have a say in the discussion... Just an idea! :) This is a great idea to give students "voice" which is why I use the back channel - providing all student equal opportunity to post questions they wanted to share.
We often stopped throughout the session and had the panel turn and reference the back channel. This allowed the PANEL to choose which questions THEY wanted to respond to and provide additional information.
I've provided the transcript of the back channel in its entirety so you're able to see which questions were addressed. As always, it's students' responsibility to take notes during class (even when there is a panel of with members who are D/deaf) and that is why there are no answers recorded here for those which were answered during the Panel discussion.
