Robots are giving home and hospitalized students in Anne Arundel County access to the classroom.There was a Double Robotics dedication at Meade High School on Tuesday. Pinky is a double robot being operated by Destiny, a ninth-grade student in a hospital right now receiving dialysis."I use the buttons. Well, the up and down buttons to move it forward, backward, left and right," Destiny said.Destiny has renal failure and needs a new kidney, so she can't attend class like most students, but thanks to the $4,000 technology purchased by BGE, she can attend Spanish class on Tuesday and get the personalized instruction educators said is imperative."It allows that student, who is home-bound, to literally move through the classroom, raise their hands, ask questions and be involved in the learning," School Superintendent George Arlotto said. "That's the part they miss the most."The Anne Arundel County School system has 13 robots, two of them are being used at this school.Tenth-grader James Panarizi used his double robot last year following a leukemia diagnosis and knows all too well how important the video-conferencing technology is."Without the robot and just doing home- and hospital-teaching, it was mostly me just getting thrown work with not much help. Being on the robotics robot, it got me into the classroom. It got me connected to my friends that I hadn't talked to in a while. I was able to understand instruction way better," Panarizi said.As for Destiny, she hopes to return to the classroom in person real soon but until then she'll communicate through Pinky. Her mom said Tuesday's dedication was the most she'd smiled in a long time.
