"Technology Helps Sick Students Stay In Marin Classroom" discusses ways that students with cancer or other sicknesses can avoid falling behind their classmates in school-work. A student in this report is named Laub, was diagnosed with Leukemia. He missed one year of school, but still had confidence. He was home-schooled using ichat, which made him feel as if he was with his classmates and teachers. The elementary school is now having three other children using this technology while they are sick and out of class.
I think it is great for children that are sick and out from class for a long period of time can still connect and interact with their classmates via ichat. I had never heard of this, but feel it is a great way for students to feel connected with their classmates. This is a great option that can enhance home-schooling for students. Technology is starting to have more and more of an influence out of the classroom for students. Also, during a time of sickness for a child they can be very lonely and being able to see their friends and feel a sense of comfort with the school day can be a great aspect this technology brings to a child.
