From USA Today:
Jacy Borlik and her sixth-grade classmates watched as a curator for the Indiana State Museum showed how a 30,000-year-old dinosaur bone is excavated and then catalogued.
“It was cool,” Jacy said.
But the students never left their school 15 miles southwest of South Bend and the curator never left the museum in Indianapolis. They were connected from North Liberty Elementary School by interactive videoconferencing, which educators say is becoming more common as firsthand learning experiences like field trips are cut from tight school budgets.
