After a very long 18+ plane ride - well two actually, one to LAX and then to Seattle I finally arrived in Microsoft territory some hours into the past. It is a bizarre thought that I get to relive a day but then of course loose a day when I travel home! My first real 'Microsoft' experience happened as soon as I jumped into my chauffer driven car! My driver was fiercely proud of his hometown and provided me with a detailed history of Microsoft’s development in the area. Did you know that Microsoft occupies 80% of the town of Redmond? Or that as soon as the company buys a building its logo is branded on the building long before it is inhabited?
With less than 3 hours until the official proceedings were due to begin I hit the shops to find me some American bargains!
7pm saw the official opening of the first Partners in Learning Institute session. 50 educators from 31 countries all gathered together to discuss their opinions on education and ICT and of course explore how the use of technology can aid the learning process!! The excitement in the air was electrifying and the energy and enthusiasm was addictive!!
With the official business over and done with, we were on our way to discovering some of the US history and culture – break dancing!!
