About Me
Currently, I am in my third year of teaching Spanish at a high school in rural Eastern Kentucky. Also, I am in the second semester of a Masters of Art in Education - Educational Technology graduate program. This is a good program.

    Yes, Brazilian Portuguese is quite a bit different from that spoken in Portugal, as others countries speak Portuguese language. I will search more english information about it.

    Spanish is similar Portuguese because both is from latin language.

    All the best,

    :)

    Hi Ramona
    Sorry for the delay in answering your question. I think the Web 2.0 environment in general is less rule driven than many of us are traditionally used to. There are rules concerning commercial solicitation on the front page. As for everyone else, if you aren't playing nice, people won't want to talk to you. Good "digital citizenship" is expected. It is an area we are all still learning about. Spammers, improper solicitations, and "adult" photos and posts are removed. Steve Hargadon, the "owner" and facilitator of this Ning has the final say and action.

    There is an opportunity for any member to become part of the decision making process and to help guide the direction of the group. Any member can join into the "live" conversations each month. All voices who want to be heard are heard. If you can't join in the "live" conversation, you can listen to the recording from the session and post any ideas, or send them to Steve.

    I hope this helps.

    Remona,
    Sorry I didn't get back to you about the Spanish resources for AP earlier. I was gone over the summer and now first quarter is already past. This summer I met a couple of AP Spanish teachers in Las Vegas during a conference and shared these resources with them.
