Long Distance Learning

NPR's Claudio Sanchez has this week's final Changing Face of America story on how technology is changing education. For six months out of every year, children of migrant workers travel the country with their families harvesting crops. This lifestyle makes it difficult for most of them to stay in school, but a handful of migrant kids have been given laptops to keep up with their classes...even when they're working thousands of miles away from home.
