Pendragon author D.J. MacHale to appear on streaming video

The second Electronic Author Visit, a program sponsored by Simon & Schuster and Ball State University, is scheduled for April 29, 2008, and will feature D.J. MacHale, author of the Pendragon series. Teachers can sign up via the program’s website.

Nearly 80,000 children at 743 schools tuned in for the first broadcast featuring author Andrew Clements (No Talking). During the broadcast, Clements discussed his books and answered children’s questions (a classroom of children was present at the recording, and students at participating schools could submit questions). Ball State records and broadcasts the sessions, which are available as streaming video online, on certain PBS stations and via satellite.
