The idea of the project emerged due to inability of deaf and hearing impaired people to communicate with other, whether it is in the society around him or the outside community, and that the lack of a common language to refer in the world, which leads to isolation, frustration and inability to adapt, and the inability to contribute to the social life and teaching and tender, and leads to more violence and aggression .
it was necessary to reaffirm the right of this category through the recognition of the privacy language, standardization of the language among the deaf in the world, similar to other members of the community speaking Arabic, English and other languages, and here came the idea of the project .
Now , the world try to mix special needs people in the education and in society but how we can make this mixture without unified sign language which enable deaf people to communicate with their friends , local society Arab society and all the world .
Its main goal is Publishing and enriching the sign language for the deaf as a universal language and help students master the collected information, acquire 21st century skills.
The evaluations were before during and after the project and the students divided the responsibility between themselves and they work as one team .
They planned for their work and selected a time table to achieve these activities as follow : Field visits to several different schools , Visits to the Educational Psychological Counseling Center at the University of Assiut Making interviews with professors to discuss and publish the idea of the project .
visit to Department of Mental Health in Assuit university .
Investing of mass media and television to publish the idea of the project and marketing for their products ,
The students achieved the required tasks on the fixed time .

Cutting Edge Use of Technology for Learning
The learning activity involves students’ use of ICT – whether or not the use of ICT helps students build knowledge/collaborate or learn beyond the classroom, and whether or not students could build the same knowledge/ collaborate or learn beyond the classroom in similar ways without using ICT
First of all, technologies are not an end in themselves; technologies are tools students use to create knowledge and to create personal and social change.
Usage of ICT is crucial for the Project based learning activities in this project for knowledge building.
collaboration & extended learning beyond the classroom :
ICT has played a major role in facilitating the research process conducted by students. Further, reaching distant people was just a click away (it saved students’ time by using online meeting applications to work collaboratively on their project). ICT offers different ways by which a huge number of people were reached using social networks (especially Facebook). Moreover, the online comments and the technological feature that displays the number of website/page viewers has significantly helped in evaluating the outreach of the project and its effects on students and community members. All these interrelated factors motivated students to keep working on the same project throughout a long period of time that extended beyond a whole .
The students achieved their tasks by using this technology as but also they needed Facebook blog wiki and they needed to have local and international discussions about the project so that helped the students to work an learn at home in SkyDrive and they become more active and they overcame the problem of shortage of the computers and made a folder to publish the project and they used cameras and mobiles and turned the photos to films (Move Maker) for their special needs friends .

Educator as Innovator and Change Agent
In environments where innovative teaching is challenging, have innovative teaching practices and ICT been used in instrumental ways to change how students learn. Does the educator demonstrate evidence of continuous improvement in their professional practice, model lifelong learning and exhibit leadership in their school and professional community by supporting other educator’s development and understanding of the impact on learning of the effective use of digital technologies?

Inside School:
I’m a productive member of the school team and still growing as an educator, I play a critical role in my school , I have a voice in my school and community.
Faced as a teacher many challenges and was the most prominent of the lack of conviction surrounding community thought active learning and the integration of modern technology in the educational process helped me to publish this thought I've a series of exercises to my fellow teachers for active learning and include the use of modern technology and training of information technology has you trained a large number of teacher colleagues.
I helped the learners to publish the knowledge and how to make a decision and share of the teachers in this school and other schools and how to cooperate with the students to achieve their work , so support the role of the teacher in this project between the student and school and in other countries .
The use of innovative teaching practices include information and communication technology and a tractive for the students and give them knowledge and development of 21st century skills and all of that made the teacher as a helper for the students to overcome the difficult conditions .
It is evidence of the professional development of teachers follow the latest programs and means of modern technology, including, for example, a set of programs offered to support the educational process from Microsoft Partners in Learning and raised on a Web site. There is an evidence on my leading role in my school and professional community which is my support to other teachers to absorb the impact effective use of technology in education through workshops and seminars with teachers to explain the free software issues on the network of Microsoft partners in education to support the educational process.
Working with students :
Students did not have previous experience with projects, and how to deal with highly experienced partners, which requires effort and more time in the training of students to new skills, such as problem solving and critical thinking and inquiry, dialogue and debate.
