Educational programs that extend beyond the classroom
| 04/01/2012
An engine roars to life and the energy in the room becomes electrifying. A group watches closely, eyes widening with excitement and curiosity. The group is made up of high school seniors and educators standing in the middle of a classroom; but this is no ordinary lesson – it is a Field Trip at the Universal Technical Institute (UTI). It’s not unusual for high school students to visit a college campus, but UTI Orlando offers an experience that goes above and beyond the standard campus tour. Read More...

The Vanderbilts at home and abroad
| 04/01/2012
Of all the questions we receive at Biltmore, the most frequent — and perhaps most difficult to answer — are: Who were the Vanderbilts? How did they spend their time? What were they really like? While recent additions to the house tour and audio guide have allowed us to share new stories of the Vanderbilt family and others who called Biltmore home, we are thrilled to have the opportunity to take the experience of visiting the estate one step further.

Zoo Atlanta Spend the night, the day or an hour
| 04/01/2012
Consider the sense memories associated with an old-fashioned backyard campout or week at summer camp. There are the sounds: the music of crickets or cicadas, or the furtive scuttling of backyard wildlife. There are the sights: the warm flicker of flashlights, or the cozy glow of the campfire. And there are the experiences: stories, games, songs and outdoor adventures to be remembered for years to come. What if the sounds were the morning rumble of a lion, the chuff of a tiger, or a cacophony of lemurs? What if the flashlights were night-vision scopes? And what if the experiences were steps toward lifelong habits of environmental stewardship ... Read More...

A solution to budgets that cut school field trips: Budget woes spark TECHNO-INGENUITY
RUTH BLANKENBAKER | 11/27/2011
I challenge you to name a school that isn’t faced with serious budget concerns. And what are among the first “extras” to be cut? Unfortunately for many it’s field trips. Putting buses on the road is expensive—with fuel prices on a continuous rise. Taking students off task in the classroom is a no-no with today’s high stakes test mentality. Read More...
