Teaching Ireland
I’ve just returned from the “field experience” with EF Tours of The Emerald Isle. This trip through Ireland and Northern Ireland was the end to the Honors class I taught this Spring entitled “Hon 391: Places You Should Go: Ireland.” I very much enjoyed the trip, but am completely exhausted and know I will need to take a few days to get my jet-lagged motherly bum back into normalcy…
my question for this blog, is “what’s next?” Another destination class? Or a repeat of this amazing experience, with 20 “new-to-the-class” students? Was my inexperience with the topic something that helped foster learning? Or is my new-found quasi-experience going to enhance the class for future participants? How to improve this? Change is inevitable, even as I sit back and absorb the sights and sounds of Ireland….
