I am sad to say that as of this moment I have not yet received any emails back from people that I have contacted. I assume that I will receive replies soon. I started to do the alternative assignment but I must admit I would prefer to communicate with a live person. In fact I will not give up until somebody contacts me back. Anyway with the alternative assignment I listened to the podcasts of Ms. Susan Lyon and Barnabus Otaala. I found Ms. Lyons website about the Innovative Teacher Project which she is the founder. I joined her website contact list and I am waiting for a newsletter or other information which they may share.
I was not able to contact Mr. Baranabus Otaala but listening to his podcast I an interested in his project because he wants to help the children of his region that is affected with HIV/AIDS.
While visiting the World Forum Foundation website I did try to join their discussion group but that feature is coming soon. So I will be checking to see when the first discussion has posted. Also, I have been a member of the Children's Defense Fund since I enrolled in the Child Development class. That is where I was introduced to this organization.
I hope that I can alter my blog in a few days to share with my fellow classmates the people that I am establishing a professional relationship with.
Tarshia,
ReplyDeleteI have also had not heard back from anyone I have made contact with either. I am hoping to hear something soon. I received one email back that said it was undeliverable.
I am interested in learning more about the research taking place in early childhood so I subscribed to the early education research website to gain more information.
I hope that you, as I hope for myself, that contact is made soon.
I too am having difficulties reaching out to professionals in other countries as one of my e-mails also bounced back. I had not considered using social medias such as facebook as a resource to establish contact but after receiving that as a suggestion from a classmate I might try this. I also had not considered that my friends or coworkers might have contacts in other coutries so I need to reach out to them and utilize every resource I have. I agree that communicating with another professional would be much more beneficial than having to do the alternate assignment each week. Fingers crossed that all of us find success with communicating with our contacts!
