[0:00] At Hastings High School, health and [0:02] science classes have just got a major [0:04] upgrade. The district has added an [0:06] anatomage table, an interactive [0:09] life-size real human 3D anatomy system, [0:12] putting college level tools at students [0:14] fingertips. [0:16] What it is is a digital learning tool [0:19] for students to access realworld [0:22] uh cadaavvers, medical imaging and [0:25] science curriculum all in one device. At [0:28] least at this point, I believe we are [0:30] still the only high school in the state [0:31] of Minnesota that has this technology. [0:33] This is typically used in colleges. When [0:35] you pull up Victor on your iPad, built [0:39] from digitized real human cadaavvers, [0:41] the table lets classes explore anatomy [0:44] in layered 3D organs, vessels, even [0:47] clinical cases without a traditional [0:49] lab. So, this is awesome because the [0:52] students are working to find the disease [0:54] or they are working to find whatever [0:56] we're looking at versus me showing them [0:59] a picture of what it looks like on the [1:01] slide or me giving them a piece of paper [1:03] that shows them what it looks like. [1:05] >> The anatomage platform includes real [1:07] patient cases, hisystologology images, [1:10] and physiology simulations, plus [1:12] quizzing and lecture tools. So [1:15] essentially we use this device in this [1:17] class to look at two specific patients [1:20] both with kind of a lot of really [1:21] awesome conditions that give the [1:23] students an experience to look at [1:25] diseases that are like very hands-on. [1:27] >> During lessons, students use tablets [1:30] with the same features as the table to [1:32] explore models, view scans, and examine [1:36] structures. [1:37] >> It's really, really cool. I did not [1:39] expect to have so much fun. I definitely [1:41] think a book would be a lot more boring [1:44] and I don't think I would have paid [1:45] attention as much. It's a lot more [1:47] entertaining and you can definitely [1:48] learn a lot more by looking at it like [1:51] physically. While it shines in health [1:53] sciences, the anatom contains content [1:55] that spans biology, chemistry, physics, [1:58] earth, and space science. [2:00] >> This technology really lets us take that [2:02] learning to the next level. Every [2:04] student in the building should have [2:05] access to this at at least at some point [2:07] during their high school career. The [2:09] idea to acquire an anatom started at a [2:12] statewide schoolboard conference where a [2:14] booth demo turned into a district [2:16] priority that was made possible by a [2:18] generous donation. [2:20] >> We were just absolutely in awe and [2:22] thought it was one of the coolest things [2:23] we'd ever seen. [2:24] >> And a really really fantastic [2:26] partnership is the Ruth and George [2:27] Doawing charitable fund. So that [2:29] individual fund was able to support a [2:31] little over half of the total cost [2:33] >> from identifying lymphoma to comparing [2:36] real brain scans. Hastings students [2:39] aren't just reading about anatomy, [2:40] they're doing it. [2:41] >> If you cut it in half, you could see [2:44] like a half of it and you can see like [2:46] differences. If I was just looking [2:47] through a book, I'd be so bored. [2:49] >> We want kids to want to be here and want [2:51] to learn. Anything that we can do in the [2:53] district to make learning exciting. [2:55] That's the absolute best. [2:57] >> A college caliber lab now a part of [2:59] daily learning at Hastings High School.
