The first step that I took to locate and contact 2 professionals, was to click on the link http://www.naeyc.org/resources/partnership/globalalliance and then scrolled down to the center of the page to see other links and contacts to different professional’s worldwide. The contacts that I selected were in Egypt Dr. Laila KARAM EL DIN. I clicked on this link and then went to communications and information. The second link was in Asia Georgia center for Educational initiatives Eteri Gvineria at email address eteri@osgf.ge. I have not had any response from either connection, but I did email my interest and to introduce myself. The process I took in selecting the early childhood organization was to carefully look at what I would really want to learn more about from the list of blog resources and made my selection. The website that I decided to study was National Association of Early Childhood Teacher Educators at http://www.naecte.org/. The reason that I chose this website to study is because I believe if I want to be a successful educator, I need to have all of the knowledge, connections and resources to achieve my goal from different sectors around the world.
Tammie,
ReplyDeleteIt looks as though you and I followed the same steps in attempting to contact two early childhood professionals worldwide. I am hoping that we will be so fortunate to hear back from them and establish the connection. What a learning experience and benefit it will be.
I like your choice of study with regards to the National Association of Early Childhood Teacher Educators. It is essential to have available such valuable connections and resources to help us achieve our professional goals. Great choice!
Tammie,
ReplyDeleteI am trying to figure out why several of my e-mail contacts bounced back when I attempted to contact them. Did you use your Walden e-mail account or a personal e-mail account like G-mail? I am just curious because maybe the school account has limitations on what kind of mail is being sent to protect their network from Spam and viruses.
I will definitely be following your blog throughout this class in regards to the National Association of Early Childhood Teacher Educators. I am currently a Educational Director for an Infant, Toddler, and Preschool Program. Any information that I can find to help guide my Staff is helpful. Thanks for the post!
