Today was a fun day as 14 of my students and I got to take part in a Digital Learning Day event at the Newseum in DC. We got to meet Sec of Education Arne Duncan and take part in a 90 minute webinar explaining all of the things that the Alliance for Excellent Education is doing. As part of the event, on Monday our DC affiliate for ABC came out and filmed one of my classes which you can see above. Fellow blogger Scott Campbell was also there making a presentation for a program he did at the Newseum.
