Deaf web-quest
Wow. There is a lot of information here. Its an old page but I only found one link on it that wasn't good. This is one way to surf "all things Deaf" or just about all things! The first link listed on the page has an impressive amount of information about any subject relating to deafness and hearing loss. For students the opening page serves as a worksheet that you may fill in and print as you gather information.

Relay
What is a relay service? A relay service allows you to carry on a conversation from a computer to a telephone through an operator. One person types, the operator reads the typed message to the person on the phone. The operator also types what the person on the phone says so that the one at the computer can read it. The link above will connect you to i711, Its a free relay service even for long distance calls. Give it a try as part of your deaf culture lesson for the day.
Baby hear?
If you are hearing is it socially acceptable to ask a deaf stranger if their children can hear? Maybe it depends on why you want to know!
