Final Blog Assignment

I have enjoyed being a part of this class.  I was able to explore new resources and research new ideas from different areas of the early childhood field.  I attempted to contact fellow colleagues from other countries.  However, I was unsuccessful in getting contacting anyone.  I feel this partly is due to the communication barrier and how differently internet connections are as well in other countries. 

Three consequences that I find pose issues involving my professional development include:

* The first consequence, I was unable to contact anyone in the field.  I was able to view international resources.

* The second consequence, I found viewing the websites very informative.  However, I can not help but think that other countries take early childhood education more seriously than the Unites States does.  This is very frustrating because we have more funding than these countries.  We have more resources and we could stronger early childhood education programs.

*The third consequence, is contacting other countries can be problematic due to the communication barriers and internet connections across seas.

One goal, I would like to implement in helping the international community would be to provide information to other about how the international community views and accepts early childhood education.  Maybe share resources with other countries on the United States success and research into the early childhood education profession.

  1. I have to say that I agree with you on about not recieving any information back. Receiving information back would have been interested to see what type of responses we would have received back. Sharing resources and information regarding early childhood education can be effective in the early childhhod field.

  2. I think we all tried to get in contact with someone and were not able to, I hope you dont give up and continue trying to contact someone. I have enjoyed reading your blogs through this class, good luck in future classes and hope to see you again down the road.
