A student at Northeast Technology Center\u2019s Afton Campus is not letting her inability to hear the world keep her from being a part of it. Erin Barnes, from Quapaw, is a deaf, first-year Information Technology student under the direction of instructor J.R. Morris. Before coming to NTC, Barnes attended the Oklahoma School for the Deaf in Sulfur, Okla. Barnes says the learning experience she has received at NTC is very different.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey are different worlds,\u201d Barnes said through her interpreter. \u201cIt was an adjustment for me, but now that I\u2019m getting used to it, it is really nice. I love the projects and hands-on instruction here.\u201d<\/p>\n

One of her recent projects, called Fruit Salad, consists of networking several computers together. The idea behind the project is to establish a small network that over time will continue to grow in complexity. Barnes did really well with this project and found it to be very interesting.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is really interesting going through the program. I\u2019ve learned so much and Mr. Morris has been a huge help. He is always available to answer my questions, and his PowerPoint presentations are really nice.\u201d<\/p>\n

Erin plans to return to NTC next year to complete the program. After that she hopes to get a job doing computer repair and support for the casino near her home.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am learning so many new things. I really enjoyed the computer-repair projects I got to be a part of, and now I am learning networking, and it is also very interesting. I really hope to get more into computer building when I come back next year. Hopefully I will be able to retain all that I\u2019m learning and take these skills with me when I go to work.\u201d<\/p>\n

Misty Moreland is a Certified Sign Language Interpreter who facilitates communication within the classroom every day. She will complete her degree in Interpreting from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock this month and plans to continue her contract with NTC next year and work with Barnes through her completion of the program.<\/p>\n

Moreland states that it has been a very good experience for all of them, and they have worked very well together.<\/p>\n

\u201cEven though communication barriers exist between Erin and Mr. Morris, he is not afraid to push Erin and encourage her to do better. Because of that, she has really blossomed and developed a thirst for learning,\u201d said Moreland.<\/p>\n

Instructor J.R. Morris also said that while there were hesitations and anxiety about how the modified program would work, it has been a great experience for everyone involved.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe neat thing we didn\u2019t expect is the relationships we built through this process,\u201d said Morris. \u201cWatching Erin grow and develop an eagerness to learn has been very rewarding, but realizing she has taught us so much more than we could have taught her has been enlightening. Getting to see her personality come out and watching her interact with others in the classroom has been such an amazing experience. A teacher will instruct many students during their career and will always have a few experiences they really cherish. This is definitely one of them.\u201d<\/p>\n
