Off Site Student Collaboration

I have been introduced to a new website, TinyChat. This is a great tool for taking ASL outside of the classroom and bringing the Deaf Community into the classroom.
TinyChat allows for students to interact with up to 12 people using a web cam device. Introducing students to this technology allows them the ability to have the 3D communication that ASL requires outside of the classroom. Therefore, they are able to do group work, practice, and review material from class off site.
TinyChat would also open more windows of opportunity for the Deaf Community to participate in your ASL classroom. It eliminates the need for a Deaf person to actually make a visit, which means that you could potentially invite Deaf people from all over the country to meet with your class. It also allows that Deaf individual the ability to chat with several students simultaneously if they have access to a web cam, perhaps in a lab environment.
The potential for language development using a technology like TinyChat has great implications. Please comment if you see other ways this technology could be used in the ASL classroom.
