Linking with other professionals can seem like a simple task of just picking up the phone to make a call but when trying to establish contact with someone who does not live in the same country as can seem intimidating. To complete this task, I decided to visit NAEYC website and look for information on how to connect globally. I came upon the Global Alliance for Education of Young Children and decided to pick two contact from Asia and one contact from Africa. I chose these three because I am curious to learn what are their specific cultures as well as job duties. I composed and email explaining why I was reaching out to them and what I hoped to gain from having them as a professional contact. I am not sure how successful and email will be but I know it is a starting point for me. In regard to organization of interest I decided to study the NAEYC's website as well as the National Head Start Association's website. I decided to chose these because their missions are not only focused on the children and bettering education but also on the amount of professional and reliable credibiltiy each one holds.

Kami, you mentioned a wonderful statement: "Linkingg with other professionals can seem like a simple task of just picking up the phone to make a call, but when trying to establish contact with someone who does not live in the same country can see intimidating."
ReplyDeleteI can appreciate that statement, because even though I have always wanted to communicate with other professionals around the world to share and give stores, hints, tips, and other experiences with... I've never taken the time out to sit down and even attempt to learn how to do so. So I can really appreciate this assignment; in the same sense, like you mentioned, I'd be more excited to actually hear a response from my individuals.
Wish you the luck as well.
