This past Thursday my class and I took a trip down to Southern Methodist University and the George Bush Library. Pictured to the left is a picture on the steps of SMU's education building. We got to go in and tour the education facility. I was really cool and they had new state of the art technology. One of my favorite things that we got to do at SMU was their Virtual Reality Classroom Stimulator. They had a classroom of five virtual students, each with different personalities for aspiring teacher to practice teaching. The students were controlled by the people upstairs and could talk back and move. I like it because it gave a feel of a real classroom without even being in a real classroom.
At the George Bush library we got to see his famous education initiative, the No Child Left Behind Act. He believes that every child can read and write and it forces teachers to teach every single student how to do those basic things. 
In the library, we also got to see a replica of his Oval Office. Pictured is a picture of me in his chair sitting behind his desk. It was pretty cool to see what the Presidential Office looks like. There wasn't much personal stuff inside of the office except for the table behind us, that table has pictures of his family. Other than that is was mainly white couches and books.
