Virtual classroom takes field trip to UT

TOLEDO, Ohio (WNWO) - Some local students may be looking up at the sky a bit differently.

More than 200 kids, parents, and staff from Ohio Connections Academy visited University of Toledo's Ritter Planetarium on Thursday.

The online public charter school goes to various locations across the state so kids can get some hand-on lessons outside the classroom.

"I knew he'd have fun," said mom Gayle Oboy, "you kind of have to get him to get out and then afterwards he was like so fun!"

The event was one of four chances a year that students get to meet their online teachers.
