Meeting an Old Friend for the First Time

What a great surprise. I finally met Jesse Weisz from GEEO for the first time face-to-face. We have communicated via email and by phone for the last five years. As executive director of GEEO, he helps teachers travel around the world and bring that experience back into their classrooms. 

Time for a Little Sightseeing

As I was writing the last post, several of the other TGC fellows invited me to join them for a bit of sightseeing.  The picture above shows a reflection of the Washington Monument on the Vietnam Memorial.  There was a bit of chill in the air as we walked by these and other famous sights in our Nation's capitol.  We got back just in time for the Welcoming reception. where I met even more of my fellow educators preparing to venture off to all parts of the world.

First Day in Washington DC

Ms Neely and I flew from Dallas to Washington DC this morning. I'm meeting many of the other TGC Fellows as we all arrive at the Washington Court Hotel and register for the symposium.
