I’d like to Congratulate Matt Haeger and Elm Tech Assistant Janet Kouvelas for arrange a physics shattering Video iChat through time today with Former President Thomas Jefferson! President Jefferson appeared on iChat from his home at Monticello to answer questions from 63 5th Graders on the writing of the Declaration of Independence, the Lewis & Clark Expedition, and Slavery.

This conversation through time was made possible thanks to our new Fiber Network which performed well, even without the increased Internet Bandwidth coming in Phase II of the project (Great Job Keith!). I invite teachers to look around the world for exciting resources that will engage your students in fun new ways. The Tech Department is happy to help your class interact with others all across the world!

Once again, Congratulations to Janet and Matt on working to make this event a success.
