This week attempting to locate and contact two professionals
outside of the United States was a bit challenging. I started my quest by
asking my friends and colleagues to help me find someone to network with. I am
waiting to hear from someone who relocated to Paris and is currently working in
education. I then turned to social networking and emailed a moderator of an
online community I was introduced to in my undergrad studies and I am waiting
for a reply. I explored the website
World Forum Radio, in the meantime, I am going to attempt to contact professionals
from the website and listen to the broadcasts so that I am able to participate
in upcoming class discussions.
I decided to study the National Institute for Early Education
Research website, because it offers research based advice in various issues in
the early childhood field. It also conducts research supporting quality early
childhood education and I can learn information specific to the state I live in.
I aspire to start my own day care center
and as I immerse myself in the early childhood field it is important to stay up
to date with issues and changes in the field. There are many valuable website
and resources but I would like to take a deeper look at the resources this
website has to offer. It also has a Pinterest application, an online pin board
where I can follow the site’s interests and read articles from my phone.
I look forward to learning about the issues and trends in
the early childhood field and I am also excited about sharing experiences and
learning from my colleagues.
Katara,
ReplyDeleteI agree that the search for professionals is definitely challenging. I sent out emails but they bounced right back. I never thought to use social media to locate professionals, but I will give that a try. I will also check out the World Forum site some more just in case I hit a wall with the professionals.
I, too, would also like to start my own child care in the future. I didn't get a chance to check out the National Institute for Early Education Research but I will. It sounds like it has some very valuable information. Thanks!
I'm glad I wasn't the only one finding this assignment difficult. Facebook was my best resource and the email my uncle gave me worked....I never would have someone otherwise. How are you getting along with the new class format? I feel like I have no idea where to post things or where to look for posts other people make. Hopefully it will get better as we move on into the semester.
