Experience 7 Thursday April 10th, 2013

           Maritime Academy of Toledo has resources including Simulator. Simulator is located at Toledo Town Hall. Simulator allows students an opportunity to get the experience as if they were on an actual U.S. Marines ship. The U.S. Marines is a big theme for Maritime Academy of Toledo since it is half education as well as half discipline of the Marines. The uniforms emulate the U.S. Marines and the disciplinary actions also reflect the Marines. I had the opportunity to see their simulator. The simulator is at the Maritime Academy Headquarters. The headquarters has a computer lab for students to practice steering a boat. The second room has mapping and route mapping for students to practice coordinating ships. The final room has an elevated simulation of a boat with plasma screens of the bow.
           The academy has a strong after-school program where each teacher will focus on a specific subject and teach it to their class until 4:00pm. There is also classes dedicated to games and movies.
