I stayed for the open forum this evening where the director for AP World and another speaker talked a bit about the digital exam and the upcoming project based learning project. They then answered questions, usually emphasizing the need for people to email questions. My favorite part was the freshly popped popcorn (they also had an open bar, but that doesn’t appeal to me).
The big surprise today was the sudden summer squall that erupted just before my friend and I walked back from the open forum. There was no indication of it on our weather apps, but it had rain coming down in sheets sideways with lightning and thunder punctuating the rapid torrent. I’ve made a strong effort to walk the 1.2 mile distance from and to the hotel every day, but we sagely chose to take the shuttle bus instead.
