A Few Pictures from the Arctic

Recently I was honored to be selected as one of 14 teachers from across the United States as a Grosvenor Teacher Fellow. This is a fellowship sponsored by Google, Oracle, Lindblad, and National Geographic. As a part of the professional development opportunity that accompanies this fellowship we traveled to the Arctic. Arctic Svalbard to be more specific. I was just asked to share a few of my photos with the other Grosvenor Teacher Fellows, so since I created a Picasa album anyway, I figured I'd share these here on my blog too. I hope you enjoy a few of the 3600 pictures I took on this fabulous trip. I just want to say that I LOVE the Arctic and this was one fabulous experience that I will never forget. I hope to blog more about the trip at a later time. But for now I'm just busy sharing my photos and stories with a variety of local groups.
