Greg, Rob and Gregory (retired) helped create the “Classrooms Without Walls” program, which is a grassroots effort to enhance learning with video collaboration to help connect students, teachers and experts across the vast Kenai District of Alaska.

All the students participate in the same exercises, projects and discussions, and can share content using multiple technology solutions.
