Hey, my Alitalia flight got changed, so I'm sitting in Logan airport. Learned what Wi-Fi was--had my laptop, so I turned it on. I learned WiFi is not free, so I signed on for 1 day's service. Not bad--I was able to check my email and send mail while drinking decaf. (Why ever did I think Wi-Fi would be free, provided one had an ISP?)
My flight to Milan and then Naples now leaves at 10 ish tonight, and will arrive in Naples tomorrow at 4 or so. Will post again! Looking forward to getting to the other side, and checking out the Universita di Studi degli Salerno....!

getting started--a little about Bob
I love teaching. I enjoy it tremendously, and have gotten a great deal of joy out of figuring out how to be better at it each day.... I’ve been teaching since I started as a summer camp counselor in 1966 at Camp Cody in New Hampshire. Since then, I’ve been a teacher in Brooklyn, New York, where I was born and raised, and a teacher and school principal in Vermont.
Today, I’m a professor at Johnson State College, a delightful, friendly college in northern Vermont, and just as I enjoyed teaching 5th & 6th grade kids in inner-city NYC in the 1970's and Vermont kids in the 1980's, I now enjoy working with adult students, undergraduate and graduate. Six years ago, I had the good fortune to have been awarded a Fulbright professorship to the University of Jyvaskyla, in Finland.
This spring, 2008 I am on sabbatical, and was invited to be a visiting professor in Italy, where among other duties, I will be teaching one of my most-favorite courses--Educational Psychology--at the University of Salerno, located just south of Naples.
Once I arrive there in March, I hope to post my experiences and thoughts, as well as some pictures, which should be a great way to communicate with family and friends, old and new, as well as share experiences with my Johnson State College students. (Of course, if you want to email me directly, I can be reached at robert.digiulio@jsc.edu (Disregard my "out-of-office" automessage--it’s meant mostly for telemarketers and salespeople!)
Stay tuned!
