technology - deaf - changed since 1985!

These are the technology that most deaf people use, it is changing fast now. As we now use mobile sms messages all the time, before the mobile and internet came out we had to go to deaf club to meet friends and find out what events were happening also relied on British Deaf News, which we still use today. But now deaf club is not a place to meet as we communicate via email, facebook, sms messages. But however we still need minicom, to communicate with hearing peers like sorting out bills etc. Telephone flashing light to let us know the phone is ringing. Vibrating alarm clock to wake us up, which we now have a few choices to have. also smoke alarm which is installed by fireman, to ensure that our lives are safe. This is linked to vibrating pad and flashing light also noise for other people to hear. Only downside of this is we cannot hear very well when it is time to change the batteries!

need to keep this up to date

Will be putting up some more images and about my identity over the weekend.

This is something i must do over the weekend and get it sorted also do some photography work and get art work ready for submission.

Photos of hearing aids

These are my old hearing aids. i am practising taking photos in photography studio or should i take them into natural environment like in garden, forest etc... something to think about.

They are kept in the box since I have been little girl. The box is very old now, don't see these boxes anymore maybe there are around.

Image & Identity

Learning outcome:

Improve photography skills – which is ongoing – always learning new things all the time.

Software: Flash – learn how to make slideshow, make portfolio.

Portfolio.

End product – how can be displayed, health and safety issues, how much space got. (Want to have a similar to 3 Dimension to portray my identity e.g. an outline of my body front or back either photography or draw (if draw someone would have to do it for me unless there is another way), put photographs into the body of who I am.) Don’t want this to be like a Muppet?

Need to think of end product, as this is important part of project to able to produce the end product as not want to leave it till the very end of project then cannot do it.

Reading – improve and find to spend more time on reading, and find argument or supported ref to the theory work.

Slide show & Video clips

Have printed out some photos and created slide show using powerpoint and have converted it into movie.

When i insert the movie into slideshow in powerpoint it works fine but when converted it into movie it dosn't seem to work as seems to stop at the movie and stay there till last slide show.

Flash Slideshow

Really need to learn how to create slideshow in flash!

Need a crash course to learn this but this is my learning outcome for next semester as not used flash for long long time this is something need to come back to.
