"Reggie's Robots"
We are excited to inform you about a program we are planning to use in some classrooms on an as-needed basis, called “Reggie’s Robots," which is on loan from Children's Hospital of Pennsylvania (CHOP) and the Valerie Fund. This program utilizes a VGo Robot for students who are unable to attend school due to illness/injury, essentially allowing them to be present in class by logging in to a district-issued iPad that is connected to the robot and interacting with the instructor and his/her peers throughout the day. This is similar to Skype or Google Hangouts. The robot provides the student an opportunity to learn during classroom time, participate in school-wide programs and assemblies, and build relationships with classmates and school staff.
Common questions/concerns:
- Can the student who is logged in to the robot record what is going on in the classroom? The answer is “no”. The VGo is not designed to record. The student can take a snapshot of notes on the board or screen but that is the extent of capturing a picture. This is very similar to anyone being able to take a picture with their cell phone. When we train the students on how to use the robot, we discuss appropriate use.
- Who else will be able to see what’s going on in the classroom? When we instruct the student on proper use of the robot, we discuss with the parents that the student needs to be able to concentrate on school work. Depending on the illness/injury, there might be a parent nearby, an aide, a nurse, etc.
