This past September, Michael Presser, a teacher at Rancho Verde High School in Moreno Valley, California, traveled to the Galápagos Islands as part of the 2015 Grosvenor Teacher Fellow Program. The Grosvenor Teacher Fellow Program is a professional development opportunity made possible by a partnership between Lindblad Expeditions and National Geographic Education.

Here are a few of Michael’s photos from the expedition.

Want to know how this experience is going to help students enjoy virtual field trips, scavenger hunts, and self-directed exploration? Watch this video and learn why Michael was “too excited to go to sleep!”
