Hi!
This is a post for those who wrote a comment on ampling.blogspot.com, that is, Rosita, Lorena, Vanessa and Natalia. Thank you!
I must say that I had already visited your blog. In fact, I do it quite often. Why? Because you are doning a good job and because your teacher, Juan Ignacio Castro, was one of my tutors in a course I took about using Internet as a tool to teach. So, say hello to him (though I'm not sure he will remember me: too many people doing the same course.
Anyway, I've become a follower of your blog.
See you.
