Howdy!
So one more week of VR stuff, and then we'll move on.
Here are a few more links regarding VR use in the real world.
Links removed. This week we read about the CDC, train conductors, and the pros and cons of real world VR training.
For credit this week you will need to give an informed opinion about the article you read AND provide one fact to prove you read it. Hope you actually read. You have to do both of these things to receive credit. I'm really, REALLY not asking for all that much here. Seriously.
Many, MANY of you received blog zeros last week because you failed to follow all the directives. Maybe I can be less disappointed this week.
Talk to me . . .

Just recentley the CDC (Center for Disease Control)awarded a $626,000 contract to a Company based in Georgia for the third phase of a pilot program that uses an immersive virtual reality training tool to prepare first-responders for real-world crises.

Virtual reality is really helping out people learn how to drive trains efficiently. The guy who came up with this is trying to come up with new ways to advance the technology.
-Barrios, 1st period
The CDC's use of VR to train its workers is very useful. It helps to prepare the workers for what they will see in the real world.
McClanahan - 1st period
I read the article concerning virtual reality according to military uses. It's stimulation and practice with real world occurances throughtout the military is suppose to mentally and phyisically prepare those going into the military.

Virtural reality, (VR), has its postitives and negatives. Mostly positives... It trains people who work on railroads in a fast, non harmful way. They're fairly comfortable when training, and getting the information they need without putting themselves as well as anyone else in danger. I find it a great idea, personally.

PS? Military was last week.
The CDC, Center for Disease Control, is very useful because it's supposed to help trainers develop virtual reality skills in the real world by interacting with dangerous forces in the gaming process.
Heyn, 1st period
CDC has nothing to do with gaming. Please read my blog during blog time.
The CDC uses this to help people get used to what they will actually be facing in the real world issues. This will give them time to get used to the challanges, and help them not hesitate when they are needed to help real victims and problems. I think this is an amazing way to have them be accustom to what they wil be facing when they are deployed.

the CDC uses VR training to train its workers for real life situations. For example they train them to get use to the sounds, sights, and smell of a disaster.

I believe virtual reality has many amazing benefits other than using them for video games, and it's being shown with training for real world scenarios like natural disasters. I think it's very efficient and safe and provides experience like no other training to prepare disaster relief workers for the future.
Slide, 2nd period
Virtual reality is helping people train for jobs they want that might be dangerous. Like learning ow to drive a train. That's pretty cool!!!
Coen, 2nd period ;)
I think its good because its just a new way to gain experience for our medical workers but at the same time virtual reality cannot be compared to reality. The CDC is putting medical personal through differed situations through virtual reality and testing the patience and skill of our medical personel that work in the field.(Kade)
The CDC created a progran that gives a person the ability to experience real life crisis and see how they work through it.
Delagarza, 2nd Period.
Virtual Reality training is helping people in the medical field to help people faster and eaiser without actually messing up on a patient or victum.
Irwin, 2nd
virtual reality helps people that dont do anything else with there life do somthing .
winn , 1st period
The CDC's new virtual reality can help trainers practice for real life disasters. They said that they can copy the situations of one and produce the same smell of "sights, sounds, smells or ideas"
Lopez, 2nd period
I can't remember all that I read, but I remember some pros & cons of virtual reality. One pro was that virtual reality is a way you can train for many different things, & it is safer then real life. One con is that being in or working in a virtual world for a while could cause a little sickness.
Laronda Steadham, 2nd period
The CDC on Thursday awarded a $626,000 contract to a Decatur. I think that simulating natural disasters and major emergencies is a great way to prepare those in the field of medical emergencies.
Culpepper, 2nd Period
the CDC just recently added the VR ( virtual reality) this allows the patients to have a real view of how death smells. trainess are exposed to sight, smell, sounds, or ideas.
johnson, 2nd
The CDC, Center for Disease Control, is very useful because it's supposed to help trainers develop virtual reality skills in the real world by interacting with dangerous forces in the gaming process.
alvarez 2nd period
Personally I think virtual reality is a good think for people to start training for because, it will prepare them for all things like sights, sounds, fighting and etc. I think this is a very smart thing and I hope it follows through.
Hill, 2nd period
I do believe that virtual reality could help us in train in different kind of fields we are wanting to go into. It shows us what we could have to deal with on a daily basis. It will make it to where you can experence different things like the sights, smells, and sounds of what you have to deal with.
Jones, 1st period.
Again, military was LAST WEEK. This week's choices were CDC, driving trains, and the pros and cons of VR training in the workplace.
Seriously, I'm not asking for all that much here.
2nd period's responses seriously made me want to cry. :-(
i felt that the virtual reality porgram is helping technology and how to "drive trains" easier and more accurately. Nevertheless technology is becoming more advanced every day and is allowing new programs, ways, or even the way we see things to change. The world one day at this rate will be all run on technology and space aged programs.

The Center for Disease Control (CDC) is experimenting with a Virtual Reality program that allows users to replicate the scenario of a real-world disaster or outbreak. I think this is pretty cool becuase it gives workers more experience and helps them prepare for a possible Apocolypse, disaster, or virus outbreak that may very well happen in the future.
-Zach, 7th
Train one I think I read and it was cool that it was used in more thank you think as in their technology. Example it said if you had a xbox 360 then you used their technology.
-Roland 7th Period
the thing about VR that i have noticed is that in the 1st article now doctors (i think),or people in the medical field who go to wars like in the middle East or war around the world, are now using this sos when it happens in Iran , for example, they can be use to the environment and the blood all over the place and curing the patient in little time of surival.
Ibanez, 7th nperiod ;)
The cdc (center for disease control) use VR train it works pretty good.they keep working on it all the time. It will help people get ready for the real world.

the CDC (Center for Disease Control) makes experiencing the disasters come to real life and the training for helpers exact so when they do head into the real deal they will know what to do thats why its a good virtual reality simulation
- Cano 7th pd
I think that the CDC using the VR to train their workers is great. It helps them to understand and detect what is going on in the real world.
-Wright, 7th
The VR may come very useful for workers so they can prepare for real life situations
Teal 7th Period
The CDC is very interesting and of course very much helpful to people who participate in this. It helps people in the real world with several skills.
Garcia, 7th
I picked the article from the CDC. The CDC uses virtual reality to prepare their employees for traumatic experiences they could encounter on the job. They have sights, smells and sounds that are similar to real world situations. They call it an "emotional vaccine" for their employees. There are things like piles of dead bodies in small villages and people dying from unknown diseases.
I think the use of virtual reality to help prepare for such traumatic is a good idea, because it would be awful to have to experience something so icky for the first time in real life.
-SWalker, 7th
The CDC encourages for you to try it to experience different type of controversies in your life.
Venegas,7th period
The CDC uses of VR to train and it helps the workers to prepare for what they would see in real world. The CDC is very useful and really awesome.
Wah, 7th period

The CDC has been using virtual reality training programs to help their new trainees get a better understanding of the things they will have to do in certain cases without being actually in those conditions.
Your Favorite Mexican XD, 7th Period
Virtual reality is very useful for helping train the workers in the medical profession its most used for real world problems and to help with what they might see.
Thumann/T-Dawg 8th
Train conducters are using virtual reality to train new conducters since a whole lot of conductors retired recently.
Labbit 8th
i read the article regarding the CDC and VR training ,and i do not see how it can fully "emotionally vaccinate"you to perpare for a disaster because you cant really recapture all the stuff that goes down at an emergency so in my opinoin nothing can really prepare you for the real thing except the real thing.
D'Andre, 8th period
The CDC has been using virtual reality training programs to help their new trainees get a better understanding of the things they will have to do in certain cases without being actually in that position of getting in danger but they can see what they are going to go thru
-Castro 8th period ^_^*
I like the use of virtual reality in the CDC as a way to train their employers better for disasters. This helps the CDC because it prepares their workers for real-life effects in a safe way.
Cespedes- 8th
I read the article about the train conductor traing. Using the virtual reality helps them train the employees better. They can let people practice with swithching rail cars without the chance for them to really screw up something.
Cody Langley 8th.
i read the train article and i like how they use virtual reality to train them and how to train them for first responses
Sweat 8th Period
I believe the pros and cons article made perhaps the most valid point: virtual reality can never truly replace live action training, especially in combat. To support this assumption (as I have never actually faced an actual combat situation, obviously), I should like to draw attention to the fact that warfare has remained relatively unchanged, concerning the way it is fought, since the 1900s. The introduction of Virtual Reality tech has, to my rather unknowledgeable viewpoint, not made a noticeable difference.
Kwiatkowski, Eighth
The article that I read was the article about the CDC. I think that is a great idea for people in the CDC to train with vitual reality so that they will be equipt with a great amount of knowlege and skills for real life instances. The CDC (Center for Disease COntrol) train to maintain dangerous chemical outbreaks like radiation.
Cold, 8th
I think that virtual training that Jon and Steve came up with is a rgeta idea because of the little transition from virtual to real life.
Gipson, 8th Period
The virtual reality porgram helps how to drive trains easier without risk of hazzard. Its allowing new programs & etc. Benefits better adn helps out from life threating events.
`Ikner, Tye-8th Period.
The center for disease control wants to use virtual reality to basically numb and de-sensitize emergancy responders, and basically expose them to horros they will surely see on the job.
Carrasco 8th hr
I believe that virtual reality as is used by the CDC to help prepare their employees for the real life scenarios they may encounter while on the job is well enough but it cant really prepare them for their emotional and psychological response because simulated reality while very useful in some cases cant incorporate the other 4 senses.
-Torres Per 2
The CDC using VR to train its workers provide better trained workers for disaster. Training with VR can make better worker, even though it isn't the real thing, because experiencing something like what you're going into is better than nothing.
