Hi Joao -

An AMAZING network!

How could I forget!

Friends, Joao joined us recently in the WikiPasifika online workshop
on basic wiki editing skills. He teaches English in Portugal. If I
remember correctly, Joao found out about the WikiPasifika workshop
from Elderbob in Texas who posted a notification about the
WIkiPasifika workshop on the Webheads list.

Consider the network connections, working backwards  -- New Zealand
==> Brazil ==> Canada ==> Portugal ==> Canada ==> Texas ==> Nine
Pacific states ==> Portugal.

Hopefully we will connect Mozambique and Angola into this network
chart ....

Joao - to answer your question - the Newbie tutorials are in-fact the
tutorials we used in the online workshop:

http://www.wikieducator.org/Help:Contents

So for example, if you go to the Help page in the French WikiEducator:

http://fr.wikieducator.org/Aide:Aide

You will see that they are busy with translating these tutorials into
French.

So the idea is to start translating the English tutorials into
Portuguese so that they link from this page:

http://pt.wikieducator.org/Ajuda:Conte%C3%BAdos

mmmm - I'm thinking here - this could be a great project for
Portuguese learners studying English - For example, what about a
homework assignment where a group of two or three learners to
translate one of the tutorials.  Their teachers could then check the
translations and improve on the language.

Joao - thanks very much for the offer. Let me see if I can set up
linkages with colleagues in Mozambique, Angola, Brazil etc to spawn an
international community for the Portuguese WikiEducator.

Chat to you soon.
Wayne
