Testing New Ideas

I've been reading e-newsletters and blogs to learn more about how to share information. For those of you who are following my blog I do hope you'll post comments.

This Friday is a conference for the Ounce of Prevention Fund. They host a really nice conference that surrounds professionals with new information, confirmation of a job well done, and sharing of ideas. I will be presenting a workshop in the morning and I always enjoy learning during the rest of the day. This is a conference that I find stimulating and interesting.

Many Uses of Blogs

I hope that you will all be following each other through your blogs and invite your friends and co-workers to join in. This is a way to connect ideas and share what you're learning.

Over the next two weeks you will be exploring different ideas through your study.

Finding Ways to Connect

It was really fabulous to have so many graduates to celebrate for 2011. I'll create a link for everyone who would like to see the photos from the celebration.

Gaining more information

It is my belief that everything begins in infancy so that knowing and understanding the period of time from birth through age 3 (or four) begins the base for all future growth and learning. Sharing ideas about how children learn from infancy can help understand older children's behavior and learning.

Share your ideas on this blog. I am looking forward to reading what you think.
