Videoconferencing (distance learning) 

St. Clair County's Learning Net has established a videoconferening classroom in each high school in all seven public school districts. In addition, portable videoconferencing carts have been added to each district's middle and elementary school buildings.

Shared classes

Each year local districts team up to offer a variety of classes through videoconferencing. From foreign language to AP classes students and teachers learn together by utilizing this technology.

Virtual field trips

Students and teachers can visit museums, talk to experts and so much more by taking a field trip via videoconferencing. Participants in one location can see, hear, and interact with others in real time, even though they are miles apart. Thousands of activities are available!
