President Obama spoke with middle-school students at the Anacostia Neighborhood Library in Washington, D.C., and those watching the event from around the country. He answered questions about his experiences in school, his favorite books, and technology in the classroom in this “virtual field trip.” The event was moderated by a sixth grader from Salisbury, Maryland.
