On February 11,
Senator Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) chatted online from his Washington,
D.C., office with students from Rutland Middle School's eighth-grade
class. Online video was used to communicate, so the Senator could
see and hear the students' questions and they could watch the
Senator's responses. Many Vermonters do not have the opportunity to
travel to Washington and this is one way to bring Washington into
the classroom. Click
