I thought this was cool that students in Chicago were able, through technology, to share in the historic event of the inauguration with their entire school district. Without SAFARI Montage technology, students would have missed out on the first district-wide student assembly, as well.
Being able to use technology and have it at our fingertips provides us with many more opportunities to learn and participate in activities with others. The article states,
"In addition to viewing the live broadcast via SVS, CPS students also conducted interviews, viewed an inauguration video created by students for the students, observed reactions surrounding the events of the inauguration, presented art,choir and band performances that not only showcased their artistic abilities, but also provided historical context for the event."
Students integrated several learning methods through this activity. I would view it as a best practices method because of the diversity in learning style it gives for different students.

I think this type of event will become more common place in all our schools. Media technology is changing monthly. I just hope we don't embrace live media events like we did filmstrips...more stuff without contextual meaning. Good post!
