Rave Reviews
Finally, let’s take a look at what Realityworks’ customers have said in some of our product reviews!
RealCare Baby® Infant Simulator with Storage and Accessories
“The RealCare Baby has given my students the opportunity to get a quick but realistic snapshot of what life as a teen parent would be like. There are 15 different programs that can be set, each modeled after a real baby and the journal that its parents kept about its care. There are several ways to customize care to be sensitive to individual student needs while still creating a meaningful learning opportunity.
Programming is a snap, and grades are quick and easy to access. I especially like the printed grade report that each student receives after care – the details on it are extraordinary. The technical support staff is incredibly helpful, too. My students look forward to this project each year, and it never disappoints! So many wonderful lessons have been learned in my classroom thanks to the RealCare Baby program!” said Julie T. about our RealCare Baby Infant Simulator with Storage and Accessories.
Bovine Injection Simulator
“The Bovine Simulator is by far my favorite teaching ‘pet.’ The kids have named him Otis. Realityworks put every thought into this product. Such a great teaching tool,” said Morgan W. about our Bovine Injection Simulator.
Auscultation Trainer
“The Auscultation Trainer is one of the best in its class. My students and I have a model by another company, which is very good but for more advanced students only. This Realityworks model is for every level! It is fantastic for my earliest learners with the images of the organs but is equally challenging for my advanced students when the skin sleeve is placed over the top and they must use palpable landmarks only.
Also, the technology is advanced, but simple enough for anyone to use. In addition, the ability to use individual stethoscopes makes disinfection and infection control easy,” said Shelby L. about our Auscultation Trainer.
guideWELD® VR welding simulator
“Ever since I’ve gotten the simulators, I’ve seen an improvement in students’ abilities before they go into the shop. They have some knowledge of what to feel for, what to expect. And the greater percentage of what I get are beginners – they’ve never touched a welder before. But this helps them create the muscle memory they’ll need in the shop,” said William D. about our guideWELD VR welding simulator.
