Access Lab Visit


For this blog, I'm going to tell you about our visit to Daphne High School's Access Lab. Me and a few of my classmates went on a tour of their lab a few weeks ago. It was a pretty impressive classroom. There were two huge flat screen TVs on either side of the room, and a microphone on the ceiling. There was also a type of a command station at the front of the room that resembled something from NASA.

The lab instructor gave us a pretty extensive overview of what the lab was trying to do and what it actually did. It was pretty amazing to think that you could take a class from so far away. Unfortunately the lab instructor informed us that the lab had many problems and that it was not getting utilized the way it could. But all in all it was a pretty good tour and I can see where this kind of technology can be utilized in the future. You just need to get the interest of the students.
