Sure, use the vlogs to share with your colleagues! Educational use is definitely “fair use”!

As a history buff, I echo what Barb said. I would most definitely share your vlogs with my colleagues, and show them to my children (at least the older ones until the younger ones are old enough).

I agree with Barb that this is definitely Social Studies material, and I would say this is material for Deaf Studies.

I cannot add much to what the other commenters have said, except that I really enjoyed your vlogs!

It is evident that the interference from the Darwinism theory that existed in the late 1800′s during the Age of Imperialism influenced the change in the Deaf education system that the concept of bilingual instruction had been brushed under the carpet thanks to the infamous decision during the Congress of Milan 1880. It is just an obsession to mold Deaf children to be like hearing people that they are being poked in their ears as part of experimental process especially in the old days, puppeted in mimicking speech, drilled with repetition on speech, etc. thus, taking away invaluable time in learning enriched natural signed language during the window of opportunity making it too late for them to achieve literacy.

As for today, people assume that advanced listening devices mean the use of sign language is no longer relevant which is a dangerous assumption to make.

I would like to forward your videos to social studies teachers in where I work seeing the value of how it can be shown when incorporating Deaf History when teaching World History if that is ok with you! I look forward to more of your vlogs! Thanks!!
