NEW! Let's Travel with Janet Dieman
Janet shares her love of travel in every lively presentation she gives. Her audiences are swept away on a virtual journey to places they may only have dreamed of visiting. They learn about the country and its culture while viewing dramatic photos. During a "trip" with Janet, the routine and challenges of daily living fade away and are replaced by the joy of learning...and the thrill of being transported to places where new and unusual things stimulate curiosity and interest. (Preferable for a large group.)
Janet's travelogs are generated by her MacBook Pro laptop computer, which inputs images and sound to your flat screen TV (42" or larger) through and HDMI cable (which Janet provides). Alternatively, she can connect her laptop to your vidoe projector, via your cables, provided that a member of your staff does the hookup and testing when Janet arrives onsite.
Please note that, because of other commitments, Janet is available only during the second half of each month.
Janet offers 8 programs to choose from:
- How I know I'm in Europe
- Swiss Sampler
- Hiking in Switzerland
- Cheese Making
- Swiss Transportation
- Scotland Sampler
- Foster Goes to Scotland-Part A
- Foster Goes to Scotland-Part B
