1) Is there a growing trend within schools?

There is a trend towards SignWriting in Research groups and new Software development...

BUT, most schools do not realize SignWriting or SignBank exists.

We have four Pilot Projects in 4 countries. All successful.

IF, schools knew about it, they would want to try it...It is free to them....

We can put them in touch with the Albuquerque & German teachers who are USING SIGNBANK in the Pilot Project...

2) Are there tools out there that are similar to SignBank?

NO. SignBank and SignWriting are historic FIRSTs. There is nothing like it...

Other databases might have sign-videos for sign languages...THAT IS NOT READING AND WRITING.

FOR THE FIRST TIME IN HISTORY, Sign Languages are WRITTEN languages, and SignWriting, inside SignBank, is making this possible.
