These Hands Can Do More Than Just Count!
This week for my learning project I decided to venture outside my comfort zone of my usual ASL apps and YouTube videos into the TikTok learning world. I usually watch ASL TikTok’s because I find them very interesting but I honestly never thought of searching out people teaching ASL on TikTok. WOW, was I surprised!!…
What’s Hiding Behind the Keyboard?
Technology… what can one say when it comes to technology. Most have a love hate relationship with it. Sometimes you love it and sometimes you hate it.
