Week 4 Practicing Awareness of Microaggressions

Practicing Awareness of Microaggressions I was having a conversation with some colleague about a month ago about the president and one of the statement was make "why did they let Obama run again and he's not going to help us. He have mess up things in the white house with the Healthcare plan. I response to her what do you mean about that she said he a black man not a white man. I stated they all do what they want to do in the white house. We cannot change anything and the only one that is god. The world was already mess up when he got in there. The offended me when she said that to me because i am black and we have a black president. I felt very sad about how that went down. Even though my observation experience did not happen this week. Discrimination, prejudice, and stereotypes of people happen all the time in school work, home, and public place. I think that we should just be quiet sometime and do not say mean thing to people.

Week 3: Blog Perspective on Diversity and Culture

Perspectives on Diversity and Culture

I have two cousins that have the same feeling of culture and diversity. They stated that culture is know for ways people live, eat, sleep,talk, play, and how they care for their family. Diversity is the way people are different  from each others.

Last, my future husband say that culture is the way a person religion, personality, and race. Diversity is when a person have different language and tradition that is around us.

The answers I receive from the three people help my understanding with this course on culture and diversity. Diversity is how we are different in this world today with our language and religion.

I did not have any omitted because they covered everything about culture. It helps me understands what is culture and diversity. I have learned a lot from the three people I interview.    

Week 2 Blog My Family Culture

               My Family Culture

If a major catastrope happened and I had to leave my home and I had to live somewhere else and I could not take anything with me, but three items. The three items I would take would be, a bible, computer, and pictures.

The reason I would take a bible is because I was grew up on a bible when I was little. Another item is a computer because it stores all my information on it to research my family.

Last, is pictures so I can look back at my family.

If I was told that I could not take anything, but one item with me I would pick the bible, because God is first in my life. I would really want to take all three items. I want to have connection with them in some kind of way.

As I finish my assignment I realize that something like cars, jewels, clothes, and shoes, do not mean anything to me at all. My family is the main people in my life.

Wk 8 Blog Assignment: When I Think of Research...

 When I Think of Research...

My insight that I have gained from this course that I donot want to be a researcher the reason I say that is because you have to make sure you get the right information. It was also a stressful job for me to do the assignment but I make. The is my first time I ever did research on a topic in this course before but I see it is alot of work that you have to planned for before you get to the main point. 


While finishing this course I see that researchers have alot cutout for them but I will give the the up most on their work. 

Doing research is a lot of work because you have to come up with a researcher topic to get information on and study the problems. Some infromation cannot be solve in a day because it might take weeks, months, and years to complete. Research should be use to help children in the research to have a better program. 

One of my challenge was developing a topic for my research and a questions that could do research on. I meet some of my research by doing research over my topic and talking to early childhood workers that are in the field. 

One of my perception of early childhood professional is thank everybody in my classroom for helping out with each other. In this research I did not know what to extent to complete this course but I did it. I would use this issue to help educators better themself in a child environment for young children. 

Week 5 Blog Assignment: Research Around the World

 Research Around the World

The website I chose to explorer was Early Childhood Australia, 2012 that was interested to me. The international research topics that was on this website I check out was how they were going to improve children’s speaking skill; Literacy and numeracy week; Advanced teaching standards forums; and Early years learning framework online forum.

There is one section on the website titled that I was interest in “Special dates for early childhood ECA events calendar” and in a country like Australia thing happen all the time. I found a lot of topics that I was interest in but the one that catch my eyes where “Everyday learning about babies as amazing learners.” In this article it talk about how babies are amazing learner from birth and how they are build to learn from everything around us by watching us. It mainly talks about how babies learn through their parents. I really enjoyed reading about this article.

The website has all kind of information that you can uses and to put in your classroom. It gives information to parents on how they can work with their children. It also talk about how they have partnership in early childhood setting.

wk 3 Blog Assignment: Research that Benefits Children and Families—Uplifting Stories

 Research that Benefits Children and Families

Option 2:
Imagine that you possess the means and the knowledge to conduct research studies about any topic in the early childhood field. Imagine further that you are not restricted by the reality of the present. Imagine that your study will make a major positive contribution to the well-being of children and/or their families. What topic would you choose? What can you imagine the positive contribution(s) would be?

I would do research on how children learn through play. I picked this topic because children do learn through play while they are in or outside. Children love to play outside on the playground to ride their bike and play with toys. I would let my children learn about the world for they want be lost. Play helps children with their physical development, cognitive concepts, language, and their social skills. With their physical skills children learns to balance, climb, and use their hands to grab objects. They also learn to solve problems with each other and thing.

As a parent we should make sure that our children learn through play. Parents should make sure they are involved in their children play. We should make sure we play with the child and not just watch them play. I think children love to be involved with parents while they are playing with them. They are so excited about how their parents be interact with them. I love interacting with my children at my job they like to play dress up with me.

I hope that this will help parents to be more interacting with their children while they are playing with their children while they are play. You have to ask different question to develop their learning skill to new words to use.

~THREE CONSEQUENCES~

My three consequences of learning in this course is learning about poverty of the way families are living. I see how the world is today on how families are living poverty with no food, clothing, and no clean water to drink. My two consequences are how poor families’ children do not have a good education like the wealth families. The last consequence is that I never got a response back from the international person I contacted but I really want to have a contact with them.

My professional goal is to finish up with my degree and go back to school for computer information. One day I want to own daycare center or work at a computer places.
