A couple of months ago I got an email from an Australian fellow named Alec Duncan from Child's Play Music, an excellent blog about bringing music into schools using homemade instruments. He strongly encouraged me to create a Facebook page for this blog. He offered a lot of good information about setting up a page and for that, and the nudge, I have to thank him.
I have been mulling the prospect of setting up a Facebook page ever since. My tech-savy daughter is visiting this weekend, so I asked here to help me set it up. She did---thank you, Ester--- and as you can see from the new gadget on the right, the Sand and Water Tables blog is now on Facebook. Check it out here: Facebook.
And if you like it, Like it.
I will be back next week with a legitimate post about play and exploration at the sensory table.
About Me
- Tom Bedard
- Early childhood education has been my life for over 40 years. I have taught all age groups from infants to 5-year-olds. I was a director for five years in the 1980s, but I returned to the classroom 22 years ago. My passion is watching the ways children explore and discover their world. In the classroom, everything starts with the reciprocal relationships between adults and children and between the children themselves. With that in mind, I plan and set up activities. But that is just the beginning. What actually happens is a flow that includes my efforts to invite, respond and support children's interface with those activities and with others in the room. Oh yeh, and along the way, the children change the activities to suit their own inventiveness and creativity. Now the processes become reciprocal with the children doing the inviting, responding and supporting. Young children are the best learners and teachers. I am truly fortunate to be a part of their journey.
Love it & welcome to the world of FB so good to have you over there now too.
ReplyDeleteTom, welcome to Facebook! I've been wondering how you were going with getting a Page. It's looks great, and it's good to see that in less than a day you already have 250+ fans; it will snowball from there, I'm sure.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the nice mention of Child's Play Music - I really appreciate it.
Alec.
