I had a wonderful experience last July in Cambridge. I took a course at Bell Teacher Campus about new technologies in the classroom. This blog was born from that experience! And now I want to share some of those moments with you...

Cambridge - July 2013

"Travel and change of place impart new vigor to the mind."

Seneca

On July we went to Cambridge thanks to "Premio Iantorno Zanichelli"!

We stayed at Homerton College - Bell Teacher Campus

We had a great experience! We met a lot of teachers from all over the world!

We worked hard: courses, workshops, conferences and cultural talks...

... but we relaxed and had fun, too!

We walked around the beautiful Cambridge...

"Living in Cambridge, with nature and everything, it's so clean."

Syd Barrett

"Cambridge was a joy. Tediously. People reading books in a posh place. It was my fantasy. I loved it. I miss it still."

Zadie Smith

 

"I find Cambridge an asylum, in every sense of the word."

A. E. Housman

Some typical British stuff...

We'll never forget this fantastic experience...

...and now follow us on a virtual tour through Cambridge!

Did you ever have an experience like this?
Did you ever meet some foreigner people?
What was it like?

 



 "Once you have traveled, the voyage never ends, but is played out over and over again in the quiestest chambers. 

The mind can never break off from the journey."

Pat Conroy
