Long-distance education

Long-distance education

The 11 students in Christa Schallers fourth-grade class went on a field trip to Cleveland on Monday.
The students didnt drive or fly there. They watched television.

Instructional television allows students to take classes their schools dont offer, and to visit the Baseball Hall of Fame, listen to NASA experts and see art from the Cleveland Museum of Art.

A classroom at Otterville has several television monitors, microphones and cameras that allow students to see and talk to teachers from other schools.
