Hi blog followers,
I've arrived in Washington after a long flight from Dublin to London and then on to Washington DC. (You should find a map and see how far I've had to fly.) We arrived at our very beautiful hotel, the
JW Mariott last night. It's right beside the White House, so we went out for a walk to have a look at how lovely it is at night. It's hard to see in the photo, but it's a very impressive building. I felt like I was in a movie.
We have started this morning with our meetings and presentations. There are hundreds of people here from around the world, all with different skills and backgrounds, but all involved in education. You can imagine how many ideas are here to make classrooms exciting and interesting for kids around the world.
Be sure to check back again later. I'll keep you all updated on the exciting things that happen during the week.
Well done to Ms McHale and to 5th, 4th and 3rd class in St Philomena's. We were prize winners in Washington, at the Microsoft Partners in Learning Global Forum.
It has been a hectic week so far here in Washington DC. We have been kept busy by Microsoft with workshops, excursions, presentations and projects. There is so much to see here and so much to learn from other teachers who are working hard with their classes from around the world. I have finally managed to find some time to share all that's been happening.
