This workshop will focus on the rapidly changing role and responsibilities of the sign language interpreter as the world shifts to using the virtual, 2-D format more and more. We will take a hard look at the ethics involved with virtual formats and how they impact the content and flow of the interpreted event. The ethical portion will focus on Social Emotional Learning aspects and the impact the virtual environment has on communication/comprehension for everyone involved.
Interpreters across the country are finding much of the work they used to do in-person is being shifted to the online format. Thereby having to change gears visually, mentally, and emotionally while at the same time learn to master new, technological challenges to meet the demands of all their consumers. This workshop will also discuss the challenges of teaming effectively using virtual formats, and the nuances of navigating small and large group virtual meetings. The participants will have the opportunity to interpret pre-recorded material and practice how to record, download and share their products. We will spend a good amount of time at the beginning of the workshop discussing the many programs being used in the market successfully, and how to use some of them. We will experiment as a group with Zoom, Googleduo, QuickTime, and Loom.
