Robot keeps sick studnets plugged in at school


Week #2 Article #1

 

1.    Melissa B. Taboada (2013, September 12, 2013) Robot keeps sick students plugged in at school. Austin American Statesman

2.     Category of problem: Keeping sick student involved in the classroom

3.    Level of Problem: National

4.    This article concerns: A problem/issues that individual/families face

5.    Importance/affect on families/individuals: This affect the individual who is dealing with a long team sickness, their families, and classmates. It would be allow children with a long time sickness could still be involved in the day to day task of the classroom using a computer at home and a robot at school. The child would not miss out on as much, get that far behind in school, and could still interact with his/her friends.

6.    My input: Having a robot that the student controls from their house or most times from their hospital beds by using a computer is such a good idea, I think. The robot would help the children that are physical unable to be in the classroom due to a long term sickness. I image that it is hard on any child that have to leave their friends because they are sick again or need treatment for their sickness and I think this would make it a little easier on them if they had their own robot to use during this time. Also, by using a robot it would allow the children to stay in school during his/her treatment, stay involved, and not fall as far behind as if he/she would if they could not got to school at all.
