Today, I finished adding the content I found for the Early Education Room – Babies & Toddlers and Preschool area. The only thing I have left to do, unless Amanda wants me to add more – is create the Just for Kids Room. That should not take me long – hopefully I will be able to do that tomorrow.
I spent the day today creating the content with drop down menu boxes for the Preschool – Educators page and for the Babies & Toddlers Educators page. Those included for Preschool: Ready to Read, Counting and Numbers, The First Day of School, and Science and Discovery. For Babies & Toddlers, they included: Pre-Reading, Early Math, Learning to Talk, and Learning Through Play. It was difficult at times to find enough menu items for these topics, especially in the Babies & Toddlers Room because most information for that age is geared strongly towards parents. I did my best to find information targeted toward child care providers/teachers and some that could be adapted for that audience.
I also created a large content module on the Babies & Toddlers introductory page. I created a list with feature module focusing on professional development organizations for day care/child care providers. I thought this would be really useful for educators. I have never heard of such organizations, so maybe they haven’t either!
I have a few pictures to re-size, but there’s no rush on that since we still can’t add pictures at this point. I hope that changes soon because I really want to make my tutorial with the right pictures on the pages.
