Hello Switzerland

I had the opportunity to visit Switzerland on this trip.  I had never been before and had such an amazing time!  Over 3 days I went white water rafting (level 3-4 rapids), did a ropes course with ziplining, and overcame my fear of heights by paragliding off the Swiss Alps. 
I was not going to do all of these adventurous things that scared me but I remembered telling all of my students to try new things and to CARPE DIEM so I had to take my own advice.  I am so glad that I did because I had an amazing time!  I hope you all get the chance to try these things one day!

Switzerland is the best place to enjoy a nice vacation. I have been there for a couple of times now, and I just cannot get enough of the place. I believe that going there is going to make me an even better person compared to the first time that I went there. If you think about it, life is just like that. I enjoyed my time there so much, so please, try to go there as much as you can, man.

    received a FFT (Fund for Teachers) Grant to travel to Pompeii to create a virtual field trip for her students.  Once they "visit" Pompeii, they will use Minecraft EDU to recreate the ancient city.  Using STEAM principles, they will redesign the city better withstand natural disasters such as earthquakes and volcanoes.
    Jen has been teaching for 12 years in NC, NYC, and NJ.  She currently teaches middle school Latin at Hillside Avenue School and Orange Avenue School in Cranford, N.J.  Jen is also an instructor and course developer for the Professional and Continuing Education Department at the University of San Diego. Jen is passionate about Latin, Critical Media Literacy, Participatory Learning, and cross-curricular integration of STEAM.
