Students in 43 schools across the country read the Constitution together on Friday in a massive National Constitution Day videoconference event. Sponsored by MAGPI and the National Constitution Center, the event used high-quality videoconferencing technology and the Internet2 high-speed network to bridge hundreds of students across time zones and state borders, while thousands more watched the live webstream.

Each school site was assigned a portion of the Constitution to read, including Washington State School for the Blind, whose students read their portion from Braille, and the Scranton State School for the Deaf, whose students shared their section in sign language. The Cleveland Institute of Music created a musical score to accompany its readers. After the reading, students had the opportunity to ask each other questions and share observations.
