My Trip to Discovery Education National Training Academy June 1st - 3rd — Day One
* Would you believe that thismonster is what was staring me in the face when I entered One Discovery Place on Sunday night (June 1st)? Granted I was a little run down and groggy from my flight from Portland, Maine that day. Could I be hallucinating? This was just too much… even at Discovery Education’s International Headquarters in Silver Spring, Maryland.
*I shook my head gingerly, rubbed my eyes and realized that the T-Rex wasn’t alive at all. It was actually “sans-skin”, a giant fossilized model of a once ferocious prehistoric predator. Wow! What a sight to grace the lobby of such a magnificent building.
*After registering for the conference I returned to my home for the evening, the Crowne Plaza — Silver Spring. My king sized bed beckoned to me, as my mind slowed down – filled with anticipation and thoughts about tomorrow’s Discovery Education Training.
* It’s tall order to tell you, all about my experiences here. I’ll most certainly find myself going on and on and on and on… Well, you get the picture! Suffice it to say, this has been one of the richest educational experiences I’ve ever had in all my life. The presenters and trainers have been dynamic as well as inspiring. The ideas have been challenging, yet accessible. The work has been all-consuming, and oh so, gratifying. I’ve learned so much… One blog could hardly do it justice.
* I plan to post again… In my next blog I’ll share a few reflections from day two of my trip (June 2nd).
