Hallo, Deutschland ich komme!

Hello, Germany here I come!!!

Hi, my name is Tara Mauney and I am an Instructional Technology Facilitator for Rutherford County Schools in rural western North Carolina. I was recently selected to travel to Germany as a part of the Center for International Understanding's Global Teachers to Germany Program.

While in Germany I will be exploring the following areas:

• Germany’s history, culture and education system 
• technological innovation, particularly in renewable energy and sustainable development practices

Through the use of technology, I will be able to collaborate with other program participants on ways to implement global perspectives and technology into the classroom.

This trip is a once in a lifetime opportunity and I am proud to represent Rutherford County Schools, North Carolina, the James G. McClure Fund, and the Center for International Understanding.  

While I am in Germany I hope to blog frequently to keep my family, friends, and students involved in my adventure.  

Wiedersehen für jetzt...Goodbye for now,

Tara
