David Bill is a history teacher and director of academic technology at Worcester (Mass.) Academy.
He and 11 high school students will attend the inauguration of Barack Obama next week in Washington, D.C. But they plan to share their trip with students back home.
Using Skype, Twitter, Flickr and Youtube, they will be providing students at Worcester with a front-row seat of history.
In this Video, Bill describes how he plans to use Skype Video, setting up laptops with wireless cards, webcams and tripods, to share interviews with people and views of the inauguration parade route.
You can follow the students at their online HQ.
Any schools that might want to connect with the project can reach the Worcester Academy students on Skype at wainauguration
