Getting to Know your International Contacts- Part 3

Unfortunately, I am still having difficulty making contact with my international contact. I found a website and thought I would be able to connect with other Early Childhood professionals from around the world because of the chat rooms and discussion boards that are on that website, but unfortunately, I have had trouble consistently connecting with anyone. For this reason, I listened to a podcast presented by the Cambridge Trust Company. The title of the podcast was Closing the gap between what we know and what we do. The person giving the podcast was the director of the Center on the Developing Child at Harvard University talks about the impact of early experience on brain development and the implications of compelling new findings.

I also found the UNESCO website to be very interesting.  I think what was most interesting about it to me is the aspect that it is the United Nations website, so it is a global perspective. I do not have a substantial amount of international or global resources regarding Early Childhood, so this will be a good one to add to my list of resources. I am interested in learning more about global organizations and resources to add to my own personal resources as I continue my work in the field. I think it is valuable to have both local and global resources to cover a broad range of topics and ideas.
