Edheads / Virtual Knee Replacement
For some reason today I remembered a web site that I have been wanting to check out but I keep forgetting. Noelle came home from school one day saying that she did a virtual knee surgery at school and it was gross. I told her that she should be happy that they are doing stuff on the computer and not dissecting anything yet. She said that the web site was gross enough and that she does not want to ever dissect anything.
I kept meaning to check out the web site and today when I got home I finally remembered to. It has a couple of things on there like a hip replacement and a car accident investigation but today I just did the knee replacement so I could see what it was that she did and found gross. The other stuff looked interesting but did not have time.
She made it sound so gross that I did not expect it to just be computer generated cartoon looking people. Then it has you actually pick up the instruments with your mouse and do the operation. I have to say I did not think I would find it gross but when it got to the bone saw I was a bit grossed out. It was not too bad though and it is a neat learning thing for kids. Just not little kids.
If any one wants to check out the website you can click on it here.
It is called Edheads.
