Establishing New Contacts

     I am pretty excited to be starting this next adventure with my peers at Walden University. For the first stage of the blog assignment I have sent e-mails to three people/agencies.

"Early Years" was the first organizataion in support of young children and is currently the largest organiation in Northern Ireland. They have quite an array of programs to include Sesame Tree which is their local vesion of our Sesame Street.

Mr. Eric Atmore from The National Early Childhood Development Alliance at cecd@iafrica.com

     I will start with my tip first: read the entire assignment before jumping into the assignment. After I had frustrated myself in not being able to get an e-mail I took a break, started a load of laundry and read a peers blog before returning to the instructions for this weeks blog. Once I read through all of the instructions life became better for me and I was able to pick out the above address. Not surprisingly I haven't heard back from any of the e-mails that I sent out, if I do not get any replies I will be looking into the alternative for part 1.
     Part 2 was much easier for me. I knew right away that this would be a perfect opportunity to study NAEYC's website. I refer to it alot but know that I have only touched the surface of what they have to offer.
     I am looking forward to all kinds of interesting views on Early Childhood from all over the world!

  1. Great post! I got frustrated as well but I tried again and finally got an email that worked. Although I haven't heard from anybody I'm hopefully that I will by the end of the week. I agree part 2 was a lot easier and I enjoyed it more than part 1.
