Southern Italy Capstone: There's Nothing Like It Past Review
By Anna J (Elementary/Early Childhood Education, University of Northern Iowa) for
University of Northern Iowa: Capstone in Southern Italy
What did you gain/learn from your experience abroad? Was it worthwhile?
I gained more of an understanding about Environment, Technology, and Society. Of course I learned a ton about Italy and learned some Italian in the process. I plan to implement an Italy unit in my classroom someday.
