My
plan is to connect with early childhood educators on a global level by
connecting with them through social media. I looked up a few websites that I
think will help me with them journey as well. The website that I found to be
the most helpful was: http://theglobalclassroomproject.wordpress.com/2013/05/05/connecting-collaborating-in-early-childhood-may-globalclassroom-chat/.
This website gave me information about how to connect directly with early
educators around the world. There is a space on their website that had ‘chat
times’ listed where early childhood educators can collaborate and discuss
different issues in the early childhood field. At first I had a lot of
difficulty trying to find people to connect with, but I believe this website
and these scheduled chat times will be a good way for mean to connect with my
colleagues on a global level. The two other organizations I have chosen to
contact are http://globalearlyed.wordpress.com/
and http://www.unicefusa.org/.
Although I have had a little more difficulty contacting these organizations, I
believe that I am off to a positive start with this process.
Amy,
ReplyDeleteThese are great ideas. I will look into the global classroom project. Thanks! We could chat and then get an email through chat and go from there.
Thanks again!
Hi Amy, looks like you are headed in the right direction. If you don't mind I love to look into that website on the global classroom project. It sounds like a fantastic way to get connected and stay connected to valuable ECE resources and professionals.
ReplyDeleteHi Amy,
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing the idea of contacting professionals through the global class room project. I was able to find contacts through connections with some former colleagues. I think finding contacts through social media is a great opportunity as well. If you do not mind, I would like to have a look at the global classroom project; I believe chatting with educators would be very beneficial.
Good luck
Rawana.
Hi Amy,
ReplyDeleteSocial networking and online chats are a great way to make contacts. It's how I met my husband. Another site you could try is edublogs.org. They also have a section for collaborative projects and might provide an additional way to make contacts.
Hello Amy,
ReplyDeleteIt is amazing how social media is such a powerful tool. It would be easier to get in contact with early childhood professionals through this type of networking than through email.
I agree that this is a great way for us to communicate with these professionals on a weekly basis.
Thanks for the tip!
