NBC WSMV-TV Channel 4 Nashville Reports on Lindamood-Bell Robot Helping Teachers

TULLAHOMA, TN (WSMV) –The coolest classroom gadgets on two wheels are making a difference and teaching Tullahoma City Schools students to read.

A group of third graders at Tullahoma’s Robert E. Lee Elementary School are taking part in a groundbreaking reading program now in its second year with the district.

Reading specialist Dr. Joanne Coggins is new to the program.

“This one helps students that have difficulty with reading words accurately and decoding words they don’t know,” Coggins said.

And with a new program comes a steep learning curve, even for the teacher. That’s where Jessica comes in.

More than 1,200 miles away in Denver, Jessica watches the reading group through cameras connected to a robot, which she controls from her keyboard.

Double Robotics Case Study: Lindamood-Bell Deploys 50 Doubles in Largest Deployment Yet

Learn more about how schools are using technology to make Lindamood-Bell Professional Development more affordable than ever in a recent video case study produced by Double Robotics. Double Robotics is the creator of Double, the world’s leading telepresence robot:

From Double Robotics: Lindamood-Bell Learning Processes, a leading education services agency that provides professional development and best practices for teachers, has deployed 50 telepresence robots from Double Robotics in the largest deployment of Double Robotics to date.

Traditionally, a Lindamood-Bell staff member would travel onsite to a school and embed him/herself in the community by living there full-time, from anywhere between six months to a few years. Now, rather than sending a person, Lindamood-Bell sends a Double, allowing staff members to visit schools anywhere in the world, from Colorado to Alaska to Honduras, without having to spend the time or money associated with physical travel. Double allows Lindamood-Bell to provide the same high-quality instruction in a more efficient and cost-effective way. With Double, Lindamood-Bell employees to have greater flexibility to visit multiple sites per day or per week, all while saving the school thousands of dollars per year.”
