SEYMOUR - I happened upon a "virtual field trip" at Bungay Elementary School last week and the students seemed to be having a great time.
Not only was it clearly fun, it was educational for them to meet the students with whom they have been corresponding via e-mail for the past few months.
I never dreamed of talking to and seeing my faraway pen pals when I was a child, or even when my own children were in elementary school.
What a difference a "few" years makes.
Technology has changed everything. But is it for the better?
Hard to say.
