Expanding Resources

When completing the blog assignment this week I was able to browse several podcasts on the World Forum website. One I chose to listen to was given by Ebenezar Lartey. The video was about how Lartey went about building connections in early childhood education to promote change within the African community. Lartey stated that he did not have much knowledge of the Early Childhood Education field at first, however as he learned more about the profession he spread the word and is advocating for children and their rights. The link for the video is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a526o1HJgT8 .

The way that I attempted to establish a connection with the World Forum was by subscribing to their youtube channel. This will ensure that I receive notifications, when a new video or commentary appears.

The website that I chose to explore was the National Institute for Early Childhood Education Research http://nieer.org/publications. I chose this resource because there is so much information contained within it. The website reminds me of NAEYC's website. I am looking forward to exploring each section and gaining new insights and knowledge.

    I appreciate the video that you have presented to us through your blog because I feel that all children need advocates and as early childhood professionals it is our duty to speak for and on behalf of all children. How do you advocate for children?

My Family Culture

     The three items that I would choose to take with me would be my mom's ring, a medium sized knife, and a pocket bible.I would say that I would take the ring because my Mom passed away a few years ago and I would take the ring to keep her close to me. I would take my father's medium sized knife, because a knife is always useful. You can use it for cutting things, hunting things,making things or for protection. Lastly, I would bring a small christian bible.       If I would told that I could only keep one item, I would be disappointed, but I would keep the bible. I would keep the bible because based on my previous life experiences, my faith and my family's faith in God has gotten us through tough times and has guided my family with decision making. An insight that I gained about myself when doing this assignment, was that I believe in and rely on my faith more than I had originally thought. In my opinion, this was a good thing, because I feel lik...

Reserach Around The World

The website that I choose to review was http://www.ecdvu.org/ssa/index.php. This website was related to offering educational resources in Sub-Saharan Africa. The resource is basically a virtual school /university that caters to those who would like to pursue the field of early childhood education. This website is a valuable resource because it provides an opportunity for those who may not normally have chance to a quality higher education get educated and serve their country. The website offers courses in professional leadership, child development, and the principles and practises of early childhood education. There is also a news letter on the website that showcases some of the happenings that are taking place with the students of ECDVU. This website is extremely valuable and useful to promote learning for educators and their future students.
