Three
consequences that have resulted from learning about the international early
childhood field that have affected both my professional and personal
development are …
1. I found it very interesting to learn about the early childhood field internationally as it has provided me with an understanding of how the early childhood field is effected on an international level. In the areas that I explored it appeared to be a great push for the early years, just as we are pushing for here in the United States.
2. At the beginning of the course I was excited
to contact early childhood international contacts, as I have never done this in
the past. I looked forward to learning
about the early childhood field on the international level from a person,
however, that did not end up working out.
I was able to learn a great deal of information about early childhood on
an international level by viewing podcast and a variety of International
websites.
3. Through
this course not only did I learn about the early childhood field
internationally, but, I have also had the opportunity to learn about a variety
of issues and trends in the field. I
feel that I have gained a great amount of knowledge about the field and the
issues that affect it. I believe what I
have learned from this class will definitely play a huge role in helping me to
be influential in the lives of many children
The goal that I have set for myself in regards to international awareness of issues
and trends in the early childhood field is to eventually make contact with
someone who works in the early childhood field internationally. I believe that there is a great amount of
learning and wealth of information, that I will gain if I am able to establish a
contact or two with someone internationally.
I
would like to take the time to thank Dr. Pickens and my colleagues for sharing information
each week through discussions and blogs that has indeed helped me to grow in my
knowledge in the early childhood field.
I wish everyone the best of luck as you continue in your journey of
education and I hope that we will be able to share with each other again in
classes in the near future.

Hello
ReplyDeleteI was not able to connect with an international professional, but as you said we still had a lot of information available to us from our weekly resources. I was kind of disappointed reading the discussions and blogs each week because some of our classmates were able to connect with someone. I know that was a great experience. I am not going to stop until I connect with an international professional. One of the teachers at the head start center is from another country and she is helping me to try to make contact.
I have enjoyed sharing this class with you and I wish you the best of luck with your continuing education
Randee,
ReplyDeleteWe had a similar response to the blog post for this week due to our lack on connection with International contacts. What sources did you use to try and contact international professionals? I used international websites but had little luck. I wanted to thank you Randee for all of your great input and comments. Throughout this course we had tons of opportunities to connect and interact, I could always count of your dedication to this course. THANK YOU! Best of luck in your future courses!
