Sharing web resources


     While researching the NIEER website. I appreciated the web resources that linked directly to YouTube videos. I feel that as an emerging educator that technology must be Incorporated to assist in sustaining my professional development. The YouTube videos not only are informative, they make the topics more interesting to read about and view.There are many article on the website that have opposing views on topics related to early childhood. These resources helped me to gain a better understanding of early childhood education and some of its initiatives at the present time. The state of preschool and head start portions of the website allows the reader to review the current state of affairs in those sectors.There are many articles that bring to light how economists feel about investing in children's education. Here are the links for two of those articles: 



     Another new issue that I gained from exploring the website was an article about designing a professional development program emphasizing STEM with supports for dual language learners. I recently have been introduced to providing STEM opportunities for the program that I work for. I think that it is so beneficial for children to be introduced to STEM at an early age.

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.
