When I think of blogs I think of people writing about things that interest them or writing about their lives, problems, and current issues. I have used blogger before and I think it is a wonderful tool for school use. It brings new insights to the people we have a course with and allows communication on a different level than just laulima.
"Being with children offers countless moments and situations that test our understanding of their complex world, of ourselves, and of a broad range of issues related to learning and techers. As adults, our responses to these moments, especially those that press the limits of our own understandings, reveal the stance we take in the world as learners and teachers."
This statement is so powerful to me, because it is so true in my life. I feel that when I'm at work, sometimes I am being tested. I feel this way, because the moments and situations I encounter with the children tests me on a different level to challenge myself and go out of my comfort zone. I've never question the reason why I am in the early childhood field. I know I am in the right career. The situations make me go back and reflect upon my responses and actions towards the children. What could I have done better? What could have I done that would have a different outcome? What kind of responses did the children have? But I think that is part of working with children that challenges and tests us all the time. It's a process of trial and error. Because once I have seen the children connect an idea or accomplish something, it makes me proud of those moments that I work with children. These moments make me realize that I learn more about myself and the children as individuals. I become a learner and a teacher, which I am proud of.
