I am a high school Spanish teacher who is interested in learning about different cultures. I would like to exchange ideas with other teachers and give my students the opportunity to interact and learn from other students around the world by taking advantage of what technology is offering to us right now.

I was raised in Honduras because my family is from there, but I have been living in New Jersey for many, many years. In my younger years I spent a few months in Italy learning the language,meeting new people, and venturing through some european countries. Before becoming a teacher, I studied International Business Management, and I worked in the private sector for a few years (Revlon Inc., and Carter-Wallace International). I am also involved in the real estate business, so I strongly feel it is very important to instill in our students the importance of being bilingual and becoming globally connected. For a few summers I have taken various groups of students to some european countries with EF Tours and those trips have created long lasting memories for everyone. I enjoy very much sharing as much as I can with my students enriching opportunities, and I feel that through edmodo we can achieve wonderful connections as well.

Me encantaria poder establecer y mantener contacto con diferentes maestros de diferentes materias a nivel nacional e internacional y asi encontrar una forma interesante, divertida y controlada por nosotros en la que nuestros alumnos se comuniquen y aprendan de nuevas culturas.

Les invito a que me contacten, mi correo electronico es: yjimenez@frhsd.com
