OK I’m already so happy to be on TIES’ listserv of Internet 2 activities. I just heard about the coolest high school project ever – an autopsy videoconference. You can learn more about it in the Fargo In-Forum. [Note added June 3 by Ann: I’m sorry but the link to the original story is no longer working. You can purchase the article - but I think the basics are all here. I’ve tried unsuccessfully to find another article on the event.]
I’ll summarize just a little since I’m not sure how long the newspaper article will be up. Juniors and seniors at Moorhead High School recently watched an autopsy being performed at Ohio State University Medical Center while a retired forensic pathologist talked about what was going on via interactive TV.
The class was one of six around the country to participate. Students could ask questions during the autopsy. They took notes on what they saw with an eye towards determining the cause of death.
