Thanks so much, kathleen, and welcome, everyone. Its great to see you all this morning. Thank you for attending todays first of two summits on innovation in education. And a special thanks to all of you who are going to present this morning. Were excited and grateful to have so much knowledge and expertise in one room, and i know were eager to hear from all of you. I want to say a quick word about the focus on innovation. This year, i embarked on a rethink school tour where we visited learning environments and institution that are taking creative approaches to education for students of all ages. I continue to travel the country to see the great work thats being done, and ive been inspired by the innovative educators and administrators ive met thus far, but theres still not enough. We need more like them and like you. The reality is that there are a number of challenges and opportunities facing Higher Education, and washington, d. C. , does not have all the answers. Government is not th
Going forward. You know, chris, the president S Homeland Security Department did say earlier there was no specific credible threat involving other public venues in the united states. How do they make that determination for certain . What they had in front of them, i think they are referring to based on this incident. I think theres always a generalized threat out there in large public events. Those soft targets weve been talking about. And people need to be aware. I saw a lot of people at that concert standing around watching what was going on instead of seeking cover, and i think that probably created a situation where more people were hurt than needed to be i mean, these fully automatic weapons can kill a lot of people very quickly, but we just have a very low level of awareness.

We are here to do a laser scanning and documentation of a slave house that is here. This is part of an independent project that i am doing thats called saving slave houses which is a data base of all the known slave houses in the united states. It is a Central Depository of information and documentation of slave houses in the united states. I have partnered with trimbell, the company that makes the survey equipment that i use to do kind of the highest level documentation that is available to us today, which is 3d laser scanning. Its important to do this because, one, documentation is a type of preservation. Slave houses are buildings that are disappearing from the landscape. So by documenting them thats one way of preserving them. Documenting them and through my data base is also a way to share information and get it out there and learn from them. So this is a way for people to learn about these buildings and save them, and make them available to a wider audience without having to nece
