Students at Boston's John D. O’Bryant School of Mathematics and Science were able to compare course notes and talk about social media with counterparts 2,600 miles away, in Paradise Valley outside of Phoenix, Arizona over Cisco TelePresence made possible by NLR's Research and Education TelePresence Exchange.
The O'Bryant school is connected to Internet2 via Harvard University and Paradise Valley is on the NLR network.
