Ms. Vance's Early Childhood Education II class is learning how the evolution of the computer has changed the face of education. As part of the lesson, students visited Dr. Busbin to learn about the Apple IIe in her room and view a few pieces of technology history. They even had the opportunity to see the historic computer run Oregon Trail. They have gained extensive knowledge of information storage through the years and a new perspective on the field of education and technology. #4theT #BTTY #CTAEdelivers #oregontrail #AppleHistory #gadoe

Students in Forensics learned about forensic toxicology. Forensic toxicology is how chemicals are identified, quantified, and then associated with changes in behavior. Students did an intoxication goggle lab where they studied the changes in behaviors that chemicals have on people. They used goggles that mimicked several blood alcohol levels and various drugs. They attempted to play soccer, volleyball, whiffle ball, frisbee, and jumping rump all while using the goggles. #BTTY #4theT
