Hi. My name is Darlene Torres and I procastinate! I waited until Winter Break to start posting. I was very intimidated at first by this process. But I think I will really enjoy this now after readiung some of the posts and understanding how the forum functions. I've NEVER had to post anything as part of my education. So here's to coming to the 21st century...I've been a teacher for 16 years, 13 of which I've been at the same school, Sierra Vista High School, in Baldwin Park. This year, I teach AP American Government and Economics, and US History. But I've taught every Social Studies course we offer (and for about 10 yrs I even taught them in Spanish, within a Bilingual setting). Most of my students have been Latino, up until the last 4 years. Once I started teaching AP I started receiving a large number of Asian students. I decided to take this seminar (although I missed the first session because I was ill) because I've always been curious about Asian culture and want to travel there. I've traveled extensively throughout the world. But besides Hong Kong (when it was until British control) and Thailand, I've not visited Asia. So here's to a great start! 😀
