Hi guys, I’m happy to find you blogging here again. I was just thinking this past weekend, when I was flipping between the different sports on TV, that I wanted to share the accomplishments of Jimmie Johnson.

Hey Daisy, I thought you might want to know about a group of students at Kearns High School in Kearns, Utah who are putting technology to use for patients at Primary Children’s Medical Center. The students, who are part of a group called iCougars, teamed up with a non-profit organization called Operation Kids to raise more than $7,000 to donate a VGo robot to the children’s hospital.
They did this by selling iCougar and “love bytes” T-shirts and wristbands, along with securing a matching donation from a private foundation.
Once connected online, a VGo robot can attend classes remotely More >
