This blog is a place to share research, experiences and inspirations around teaching and the world of Early Childhood Education —which I believe includes just about anything and everything creative.

The Power of Real Life

Working in an environment where 80% of the children speak French, I often rely on images to help me teach and communicate – real life images, not the cute animation kind. These clips, from everynone.com, enforce the power of real life images and have me thinking about ways to add a third layer to what I do.

Easter Egg

Thanks to this recent post by oberholtzer-creative, I have just purchased an ornamental egg to support the BRC’s efforts in Japan!

“In an effort to assist Japan in their momentous healing and rebuilding efforts, The British Red Cross, in combination with the Egg-Bot and a select group of artists offer the Eastern Egg“. Proceeds go towards the BRC’s Japan Tsunami Appeal, and “donors may get the chance to watch their egg being printed (by the Egg-Bot itself) via webcam.”
