What other noteworthy information
did you find on this website?
I found this site to be very informative. The mission, code
of ethics, liscence, are among all the information this site has to offer. I
really enjoyed the fact that this organization has a way for people to have a voice
and to share their thoughts with everyone. This organization has a newsletter
that is called Early Childhood Australia’s Voice Newsletter. In addition, this organization
also has a journal that gets published along with a magazine. I love the enthusiasm
this organization has for advocating.
When I have more time, I would love to continue to look and
discover all the new things this site has to offer.
Victoria,
ReplyDeleteI also chose the childhood Australia website. The article that you mentioned, "Being, Belonging,Becoming" was a good article. I looked through several of the research topics and I was surprised to see how many of these related to things that I have oftened wondered about. I think it was easy to navigate around also. I also liked that you could share your thoughts with everyone and that you could sign up for the newsletter!
Thanks for sharing,
Amy McCoig
I visited this site as well. I was also very pleased at how easy it was to navigate through. I thought that the reports would be overwhelming but the information was very useful and accessible. The mission statement expresses an important goal related to children. I really enjoyed exploring this website.
