Giveaway: The Art of Land-Based Early Learning

When a book is a true work of art, you cannot help but promote it to anyone and everyone that you meet!!!

That is how I feel about the new resources "The Art of Land-Based Learning."  Both volumes 1 and 2 have me feeling inspired and yearning to take more of my creative experiences outdoors!

TransformEd Learning Sessions for Parents, Children, Educators: Winter and Spring 2018

Now that we have all settled into our routines after the busy holidays, it's time to get inspired with some new learning opportunities!  

Is there anyone else already dreaming of Spring?

What is inspiring my new space?

Like all of you, I am using the new year as a fresh start!  When I was in my kindergarten classroom, it was always a nice time to think about our learning environment.  Specifically, what was working well since September, and what could be improved upon.  I loved re-organizing the furniture, setting out new provocations or materials, and re-imagining the space to match our values and vision.

Dearest blog followers,

There are some big changes on the horizon for TransformEd!

My one room office/studio is transforming into an entire creative space this Spring!  It will be inspired by my work in Kindergarten and the schools in Reggio Emilia, Italy.  TransformEd will have an atelier, inquiry research area, and so much more.

Teaching with Twitter and Social Media

I use Twitter and other social media platforms when teaching in the classroom, adult courses, and even for my TransformEd workshop offerings. 

During my graduate studies at York University, I was fortunate to take a course about digital technology with Professor Ron Owston.
