Gov. John Baldacci and his wife, Karen, popped into a third-grade classroom at Washington Street School for a visit Monday afternoon and did so from the comfort of the Blaine House in Augusta. The Baldaccis used the Internet and videoconferencing to meet pupils in Cherrie MacInnes’ classroom, which included visitors from Deirdre Bryant’s third-grade class. Third-graders in MacInnes’ class have traveled to 31 states this year by the Internet through her “Chatting Across the USA” project, and are planning trips to every other state in the nation before the school year is out.
