Poetry on the road: Day 5, Colville

On October 20, 2014 By Elizabeth AustenLeave a comment
I spent the day at the Colville branch of the Community Colleges of Spokane. Notice the big screen at the back? That's an Interactive Television system - it lets students from three different counties participate real-time in classes. Cool, huh?
