Today's Program Spotlight is Mrs. Barnhart's Therapeutic Services!
Her students are participating at the Long-Term Care facility in order to gain their required 55 clinical hours to sit for the state Certified Nursing Assistant test. While at clinical, students are able to safely utilize the skills they have learned in the classroom at a healthcare setting with instructor supervision. Some skills that the students are using while in clinical include providing personal hygiene, communication, patient positioning/transferring, vital signs, bed-making, and infection control.
Today, Mr. Morehead's Emergency Services students had an exciting day of learning as they received hands-on experience with the childbirth simulator. This advanced technology allowed the instructor to vividly demonstrate a range of potential complications that can occur during labor, high-risk deliveries, and postpartum emergencies. It's crucial for future EMTs or healthcare professionals in an emergency setting to be well-prepared to handle the basics of delivering a baby.
Mr. Burns and his students operate a bustling auto shop- Ratchit Patchit Mechanics. The students are equipped with the technical skills required to carry out tasks like running diagnostics, alignments, changing tires, and performing oil changes. By appointment, members of the community can visit the shop for minor work on their vehicles. Additionally, when the students are not working at the shop, they can earn embedded math credits with Mr. Sandy.
We had a great visit from Anthony Underwood and Jenn McClain-Eskey from Hocking College today at the MOVTI! They took the time to speak with Law and Public Safety students and were available during breaks to chat and share information about Hocking College. Thank you for your visit!
The second program in the spotlight is Mr. McGrew's Coding, App and Game Design program.
This school year, the students have been working hard creating their own video game from scratch! The class has divided the work into four categories: coding, level design, writing, and music. They code with JavaScript and utilize the Kaboom JavaScript library to bring their game to life. The students bring their levels to life utilizing various design apps and even write their game's own story. One student even writes the music for the game! They are learning the ins-and-outs of the game development process, utilizing what they already know and working with their classmates to create an open-world action game!
Mr. Sims and a few of his welding students visited Plumbers and Steamfitters LU 565 in Parkersburg, West Virginia.
