(from left) Patricia Vermeersch, PhD of Wright State University; grandma Sophia; Marie Bashaw of WSU and grandaughter Beth during the 2nd annual Embracing Technology: Faculty/ Educator Deveopment Day at Bethany Village in Centerville, Thursday, August 4, 2011. Sophia and Beth are high fidelity, tetherless simulators for instructing nursing students in proper in-home visit protocol and practices. They were used in the 'splash of technology' session to demonstrate 'futuristic technology that students and faculty will be encountering.' Sophia and Beth 'spoke' (thanks to Diane Mehling and Leslie Timperman,) and interacted with Vermeersch who was playing the part of a student while Bashaw played the part of an instructor.)
