1). We did that very same Catamaran tour (Summer Blues) of the islands off of Split last summer. It was a highlight of our vacation. I was back in the area for two weeks this summer doing ecology field work with a group of students, and it was worth giving up two weeks of my six week summer holiday for (actually, my students are great, as was the project that we did). If you ever get a chance to spend a week or two on the Dalmatian coast in the summer, DO IT. You won't regret it, I promise. It's glorious.

2). Adobe Spark is an awesome platform to create interactive presentations. I first learned about it at the end of this past school year, and fully intend to use it this year with my students. Very user friendly, and it allows you to create an engaging product.

Oh, and GO IRISH!
