In reviewing this website I came across several surprising facts and new ideas. I was especially excited to learn that they have also conducted a study regarding children and the role play has on their development. Another topic that I noticed they have studied was learning positive behaviors through educator-child relationships. I also noticed other important research topics that are being explored such as: managing difficult behaviors, building communication with families, and young children as active learners. The topics lend to be very beneficial in gaining insight on how educators and parents can help children develop.
A new idea that I have learned from this site is ways on how to fight against e-bullying. In today’s society bulling has become an major problem. Bullying has gone from accruing in home, school and other public places to being done via internet. In the websites e-bullying newsletter teachers and parents are given very good information on how to stop e-bullying before it gets out of control.
Deon,
ReplyDeleteI too chose the same international organization as you did. I too found the information very beneficial in gaining insight on how educators and parents can help children develop. Often as educators we focus on what we can do for the child and forget that we need to also educate the parent because they are their child's first teacher.- Jolene Hernandez-Romero
Deon,
ReplyDeleteThe website I also explored had several articles relating to the importance of children in research. Their point of view during research is just as important as the adults involved. E-bullying is something is an unfortunate side affect of being a more technologically advanced society. Do you think it is up to the schools or the parents to help prevent this?
Deon,
ReplyDeleteIt's sad to say that e-bullying is a very real problem for many children regardless of where they live. With the everyday advances we are making in technology, teaching children what to do if they feel threaten online by anyone has become a necessity for their mental, as well as in some cases, their physical health. I believe the sooner we start equipping our youth, the better.
