    I do not think there are any software programs for ASL out
    there, especially ones that also work with other languages.

    I would suggest that they install web-cams or some other video
    camera to each computer, so students can record themselves
    signing. This is useful for self-assessment and
    teacher-assessment. If there is a student network drive, then
    they can chronicle their advancement with regular taping.

    As far as watching ASL on the computer, students can use
    www.ASLPRO.com, or any of the other online dictionaries and
    wwww.ASL.ms for fingerspelling. There are of course pay sites
    for ASL instruction, such as www.asldeafined.com, but if you
    already have a curriculum, you should be able to just use the
    textbook's video.

    Also, if you have access to youtube through your lab, you could
    assign any number of ASL vlogs, videos, etc for your students
    to watch. (with teacher approval, of course!)

    very jealous of your language lab. :) Good luck!
