M How do they get an education? This is a story about a day in the life of an 8-year-old child living
in Australia on the farm, 300 kilometres away from
the nearest school.
Jack wakes up at 6 a.m. to feed the chickens and
help his dad on the farm. Then he is back to the house
at 7 a.m. for breakfast. His class with his teacher is
at 8 a.m. He leaves the kitchen and goes to the study
room. He sits in front of the computer and waits for
his classmates and teacher to come online. This system
is called Interactive Distant Learning (IDL). He has
seven half-hour lessons using IDL with the School
of the Air each week. The Alice Springs School of the
Air has 120 students who live on an area over a million
square kilometres, which makes it the largest class-
room in the world​
