WELCOME BACK TO OZARKS
TONIGHT.
ROCKWELL IT'S SUMMER NOW BUT
SOON KIDS WILL BE GOING BACK TO
SCHOOL, AND SAFETY IS ALWAYS A
CONCERN FOR PARENTS AND SCHOOL
STAFF.
THAT'S THE TOPIC OF OUR
CONVERSATION TONIGHT.
WE HAVE ALL HEARD STORIES ABOUT
STUDENTS GETTING ON THE WRONG
BUS, OR GETTING OFF AT THE WRONG
STOP, CHILDREN HIDING OR FALLING
ASLEEP ON THE BUS, AND BUS
DRIVERS DON'T SEE THEM OR FAIL
TO INSPECT.
WELL WHEN APP ADDRESSES THAT
AMONG OTHERS THINGS IS CALLED
CLUTCH.
IF USE ASSISTIVE TECHNOLOGY TO
SOLVE THESE PROBLEMS AND PREVENT
THESE SITUATIONS FROM HAPPENING.
MR. BURTON IS THE CREATOR OF
FLEX AND IS HERE TO EXPLAIN HOW
THIS WORKS.
THANKS FOR BEING HERE.
THANKS FOR HAVING ME.
PLAINE MORTE CLUTCHES.
HOW DOES WORK.
/IS THE SIMPLE TECHNOLOGY.
PLEASE A LONG LAKE LONGRIDGE
BLUETOOTH DEVICE WE CAN PUT IN
THE CLASSROOM OR IN A BUS AND
LEAVE IT THERE FOR THREE YEARS.
NO ONE NEED TO TOUCH OR KNOW
IT'S THERE.
STUDENT GET TO THE BUS IT CAN
AFFECT THE PRESENCE OF A MOBILE
PHONE, TABLET OR IPAD AND
INSTANTLY DOWN TO THE MINUTE
LOGIN ONTO THE BUS AND WHEN THEY
GET OFF LONG THEM OUT.
THAT WE BOTH THE PARENTS AND THE
SCHOOL KNOWS THAT THE STUDENTS
ARE ACCOUNTED FOR AT.
THEY GUN SAFE AND ARRIVED AT THE
DESTINATION
Anchor: THIS WOULD BE
CONNECTED TO A DEVICE THAT
STUDENTS ARE CURING, FOR
EXAMPLE, AN IPAD IF IT IS
PROVIDED BY THE SCHOOL OR MAYBE
EVEN AN PHONE AND THAT THEY HAVE
THEIR PERSONAL PHONE, SOMETHING
LIKE THAT?
100 PERCENT CORRECT BECAUSE
LET'S SAY IN FIVE YEARS, 2014,
CAVE CITY MISSOURI, HE WENT ONE
TO ONE SO ONE DEVICE FOR EVERY
STUDENT.
SO A LOT OF SCHOOLS AROUND THE
NATION ARE GOING ONE TO WANT TO
THINK THE SCHOOL WILL GIVE A AT.
ONCE THE STUDENT GETS ON AND HAD
THE TABLET IN THE BACKPACK, THIS
DETECTS THE PRESENCE OF THE
TABLET ON THE BUS AND INSTANTLY
LOG THEM IN
Anchor: EVEN PARENTS CAN TRY
THIS?
THAT'S RIGHT, THEY CAN LOGON
THROUGH THEIR PHOTO ON OUR
REVOCATION TO SEE THAT THEIR
STUDENT IS BASICALLY WHERE
THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO BE
YOU ALSO SAID THIS WOULD WORK
FOR CLASSROOMS, NOT JUST FOR
GETTING ON AND OFF THE BUS, BUT
EVEN CLASSROOMS FOR ATTENDANCE
OR EVEN TO KNOW WITH STUDENTS
WHERE THEY ARE FOR SAFETY OR A
DANGEROUS SITUATION IN AT FLETCH
STARTED AND THAT TYPE OF
TECHNOLOGY SO SIMILARLY WHICH
STUDENT WALKED INTO THE
CLASSROOM IT WILL DETECT THEIR
PRESENCE AT.
AND 11 INSTITUTIONS WE PUT THESE
DEVICES OUTSIDE OF CLASSROOMS AT
WELL AS
WELL.
SAY FOR INSTANCE THERE IS A AT.
IT'S ALMOST LIKE A GOOGLE SEARCH
IN THE PHYSICAL WORLD.
IF YOU WANT TO TYPING THE
STUDENTS NAME IS SANKOH OKAY
THAT STUDENT IS IN THE RESTROOM
AT OR IN HALLWAY WING EAST WING.
IT IS QUITE A CONVENIENT
TECHNOLOGY, ESPECIALLY WHERE
SAFETY IS CONCERNED
IN THAT CASE THE STUDENTS
WOULD HAVE TO HAVE THE DEVICE
WITH THEM, AT THAT'S CORRECT BUT
TYPICALLY IT WILL WORK FROM
THERE IPAD OR THEIR TABLET, OR
IN OTHER CASES LIKE WITH YOUNGER
KIDS WE ALSO HAVE YOUNGER BLUETOOTH
DEVICE WE CAN PUT ON A KEY RING
THAT THEY CAN KEEP IN THEIR
POCKET, TO AT.
IN FACT WE DESIGNED THIS TO BE
PRIVACY RESPECTING.
SO IS BLUETOOTH BASE WHICH MEANS
WANT TO GO OUTSIDE A AT KIND
WON'T BE ABLE TO ACCOUNT FOR
YOUR PRESENCE.
AND THE MOST IMPORTANT THING
ABOUT IT IS IT ONLY WORKS DURING
SCHOOL HOURS OR DURING CLASSROOM
HOURS.
SO IT IS VERY MUCH SO ORIENTED
AROUND MY BUSY
HOW MUCH DOES IT COST, AT
VERY LOW COST.
THIS DEVICE IS ABOUT $40 AND THE
IMPORTANT THING IS LAST THREE
YEARS SO YOU DIVIDE THAT BY
THREE SO IT'S A LOW-COST DEVICE.
PER STUDENT IS JUST TWO OR $3
PER STUDENT.
IT'S REALLY COOL TO BE ABLE TO
DO THIS BECAUSE TODAY ON THE
MARKET YOU WILL HAVE RFID
TECHNOLOGIES WHERE A AT, SO I
SAID IN MY CAREER AS A TEACHER
AND IT'S NICE TO BE ABLE TO BACK
TO LG -- IMITATEENTRY EDUCATION.
YOU MENTIONED RFID CAN'T
CANOUSE AT.
RFID, ALMOST LIKE LABELING YOUR
KEYCHAIN FOR YOUR CAR, WE GET
CLOSER THEY AUTOMATICALLY
UNLOCK.
IT IS IT TECHNOLOGY THAT USES
SHORT RANGE TO UNLOCK SOMETHING
OR TO REGISTER PRESENCE.
THE CHALLENGES THAT AN RFID
READER, THE THING THAT WILL READ
YOUR KEY, IS VERY EXPENSIVE SO
THE DEVICES CAN RUN UP TO $3,000.
IF YOU WANT TO BE ABLE TO READ
STUDENT CONSENT TO THE BUS, AT.
SO FLETCH IS NOT A RFID AND
NOT GPS, IT IS BLUETOOTH-BASED.
CORRECT, BLUETOOTH - AT.
WHEREAS FLETCH NOW IN TERMS
OF THE YOU HAVE SCHOOL DISTRICTS
IS NOW LOCALLY OR ACROSS THE
COUNTRY?
GOOD QUESTION.
WE STARTED THIS IN HIGHER
EDUCATION SO PRIMARILY ALL THE
FOLKS THAT USES ARE HIGHER
EDUCATION AT.
WE ALSO HAVE SOME BUSINESSES
THAT USE FLETCH AS WELL.
THIS IS RIGHT NOW ROLLING OUT
WITH A LARGE SCHOOL DISTRICT.
I DON'T WANT TO ANNOUNCE IT
BEFORE THEY DO BUT IT WILL BE IN
THE MIDWEST, PRETTY CLOSE, SO
YOU WILL HEAR ABOUT THAT
IS THAT WITH CLASSROOM OR THE
BUS SAFETY.
THAT WILL BE THROUGHOUT THE
ENTIRE CAMPUS COUNSEL CLASSROOM
THAN EVERYWHERE ELSE ON CAMPUS.
AT WE ARE INTERESTED TO FIND
OUT MORE, WORKING THEY FIND YOU
YOU CAN GO TO FLETCH@.COM AND
COMMIT INQUIRIES AND WE WOULD BE
HAPPY TO ANSWER THEM
WE'LL BE BACK RIGHT HERE ON
