Students take field trip -- inside school - KURT BRESSWEIN , The Express-Times


Three classes of Easton Area High School students took a bold step into the 21st century with a virtual field trip to the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Using identical sets of cameras and screens in the school and museum linked by a high-speed digital network line, the 45 students studied medieval art from the 13th century without ever leaving the building. "I didn't even know this technology existed in our school," said Kristina Horyn, a 17-year-old senior in Jeannine Capecci's humanities class.
