 Attendance board in Chinese Kindergarten (I think!)

Home made puzzle  - Children's Expo, Kingston Jamaica



Social media and digital photography have done so much to move our field forward.  I just love it.  Recently, just simple pictures of home made toys (water bottle shakers and the like) have inspired my students to make their own creative versions.  And these great pictures were made known to me via Twitter and Pinterest.  Videos on You Tube demonstrate stages of play or any other aspect of child development you care to name.  The ideas come so quickly on Twitter, that it's like a 24 ECE conference that I can attend any time.  Love it!  And pictures are worth a thousand words, and help us all to achieve more.  Makes teaching in a digital world so much fun.  However, there are still classes where the computer/av system should never be switched on.  We discuss and debate and live in the now!  Whoops, there goes my BlackBerry.
