On February 4, 2010 the Washington Elementary fourth graders were able to meet and interview the author of
Freedom Train, by Evelyn Coleman. They were able to do this through the Interactive Distance Learning (IDL) equipment. The students read the book during library class and other times throughout the weeks prior to meeting the author. After creating questions about the book and the author, the students connected through the Internet to be able to converse with Mrs. Coleman. Using the projector screen and the IDL camera the students were able to see Mrs. Coleman and she was able to see the students and hear their questions. The author was in Atlanta, GA and one other school from Michigan also joined us for this interview meeting. You can visit Evelyn Coleman's website at
