Date: February 9, 2019

Instructor: Kate Woodbridge, Winnona Park Elementary School

Location: UGA Aderhold Hall, 110 Carlton Street, Athens, GA 30602

Cost: $45

Description: Do you want to deepen your experience when you have a chance to travel? Do you wish you could bring the local/regional/national/international world into the classroom to engage your students? Participants will experience ways of writing about their own travel in travel journals and see a variety of examples. The facilitator will share a third grade economics unit that revolved around a teacher’s trip to Otavalo, Ecuador, as well as other ideas for integrating travel experiences into the curriculum. Participants will write and collaborate on activities to use in the classroom.

Payment Information

Paying by check: If you choose to pay by check by submitting a purchase order, the amount due will adjust to $0.00 because you haven't actually paid anything yet. We will send an official invoice by email showing the amount due and the address to mail payment so that you can submit for payment. Checks should be made payable to “UGA”.

Paying by UGA General Ledger Journal Entry (Formerly called E-ticket): If you are a UGA faculty or staff member and are paying by departmental journal entry (formerly e-ticket), the amount due will adjust to $0.00 because you haven't actually paid anything yet. Please enter the name, phone number and email address of the person responsible for the account you are using to pay for the registration fee so we can work with them to make the journal entry. Registration will not be confirmed until we have this information.

Invoice procedure for everyone paying by check/PO or UGA Journal Entry: Invoices will be sent a few days after the registration is confirmed. You will receive an email from Melanie Baer (mbaer@uga.edu) to let you know the registration has been received and confirmed. A few days later, you will receive an email from Julie Davis (julidavi@uga.edu) including a copy of the official invoice and the payment address. Please don’t remit payment until you receive the email from Julie Davis as sometimes checks are sent to the wrong UGA office by mistake.

Paying by credit card: Credit cards sometimes aren’t processed until a few days after you submit the registration in Marketplace. Please make sure the card number is correct, the billing zip code matches the billing address for the card and the card isn’t expired, or expiring in the next few days. If the credit card doesn’t go through for some reason, you will have to re-submit the registration.
