Sign language is not only benifcial to hearing impaired students
but to the whole class. Vicki Bruno taught me that sign language can be used for productive classroom management.
Simple signs like sit and restroom can give the teacher a good opportunity to teach the students how to not be disruptive
to the class. I learned a lot of really neat signs from Vicki that I will probably never forget so I already have
an advantage over those who don't know anything about sign language. I also learned that there are different forms
of sign language like there are different dialects of a language. Language is learned the same no matter what language
it is. So it is possible to learn it. When I was in elementary school, one of my teachers taught me
sign language. To this day I still remember those lessons. It is important to give your students experiences that
they will remember for the rest of their lives.
