David Bill, director of academic technology abd a history teacher at Worcester (Mass.) Academy shared his school's plans to take a group of students to the inauguration of Barack Obama.
I caught up with Bill and the crew them via Skype as they were trekking in the cold--you can see their breaths-- to find a spot to watch the festivities on the National Mall.
Maya, one of the students, explained that they will be using Skype to share the experience with students back in Massachusetts. She panned the camera in her laptop. I even spotted the famous--infamous--Watergate complex in the background.
Stay warm, kids. I'll check in later.
Check out their progress online.
