EXPANDING RESOURCES.

 
I believe this is a great exposure by making contact with professionals in the field of early childhood outside the United Sates. After reading the options that we have, I sent emails to 6 different professionals. I chose Europe , Canada and UNICEF(Nigeria) . Some of the emails have bounced back but am still waiting on some replies.I was little bit nervous in the beginning but I realized later that this is a great opportunity to learn more globally about the issues facing the field of early childhood.
I chose UNESCO(United Nations Educational,Scientific , and Cultural Organization). I like this site because they focus on attaining quality education for all and life long learning. They also foster cultural diversity, intercultural dialogue and a culture of peace. I am glad to be part of this class.

  1. Christine,
    I too was nervous at first about this assignment. Now I’m getting excited about learning about the early childhood field from another country. I have used the UNESCO site before but I know there is more to learn about it. I will be interested in reading what you discover about the site.

  2. I have also sent out e-mails to four individuals, and I am hopeful that I will get a response since none of them got bounced back. I am a little nervous, also, about possible language barriers since I am mono-lingual. I look forward to reading more about your impressions of UNESCO.

  3. christine,
    I have only sent out two e-mails so far, but plan on sending more. I hope that you hear back soon too, especially since you sent out 6! I also think that this is a great opportunity to learn about other issues around the world.
