- I have expanded my commitment with Virtual Homeschool Group from two classes in the fall to three starting this spring. When I reached out to VHSG about volunteer-teaching a class or two (now, three, come February!), I wasn't quite sure what I was getting into, or if it was a good idea. But I must tell you, and I mean this with all honesty, it was one of the best decisions I made in 2012. I've enjoyed immensely helping students learn Spanish. I am passionate about teaching and learning, about the Spanish language, but mostly about my students. I love the collaborative relationship that grows out of a teacher teaching and a learner learning. It is dynamic and fulfilling, to say the least, and I look forward to 2013 with this group.
- We have committed to setting up a booth at Great Homeschool Conventions-Cincinnati April 4-6. I am really looking forward to getting out and personally meeting families that are looking for a solid online Spanish-language program for their families.
- I have purchased Rosetta Stone Italian! In 2013, I will kill two birds with one stone. I've always wanted to learn at least one other language, and everybody is always asking me about Rosetta Stone. I always hear good things, so I will be trying it out first-hand and I will now be able to give my educated opinion when I'm asked about it. So under the umbrella of CLA, I will be learning Italian with the intent to one day teach online Italian homeschool courses.
Great, sound advice... I love it. I hope I can follow it. :)
