I started out today with Abraham Lincoln, then went to the General Session with Dr. Atul Gawande, a surgeon, who talked about learning through observations and further learning after you've reached a plateau in performance. It was actually really interesting and he received a Standing Ovation at the end. Then, I continued my history day with a session about using Primary Sources in the classroom through the Library of Congress and we learned a really neat way to introduce primary source images into lessons. Because Jen and I got out of the Primary Source session early, we decided to go explore the Reading Terminal Market. There, we got some chocolate to snack on to help pass the time between our sessions. Now, we are waiting in our next session (also history related to go along with the history streak) called "Medal of Honor: Lessons of Bravery and Self-Sacrifice" and eating our chocolate.
Not sure what sessions everyone else has been to today because we split up, but my Exit Buddy (Jen) and I are having fun with our Primary Sources and other history buff stuff.
