As I continued to explore the Association for Childhood Education International website, http://acei.org/ I came across some interesting “quick links”acei.org (2012). The first link was called “Chapters” acei.org (2012) and this link took me to a list of states within the nation which provided names of educational leaders or associates that want to connect more and show information like news and current events that are happening within other countries. I decided to click on “Country Chapters” and follow the link to an international website for Hong Kong China.
I found this website fascinating because not only did the website provide links posted in their native language but also pictures and hints of the English language as well. I clicked on the first link to the left of the screen with Lego blocks as the picture, scrolled down and found a newsletter for a 35th Anniversary Conference held in the Philippines. Acei-hkm.org (2012) the website provided a pdf. File of the newsletter and delivered basic information and what the educational professionals addressed as far as inclusion, story-telling and emotional development. Since I didn’t see anything related to the topic this week I decided to go back to the Associate for Childhood Education International website and search some more. I found under the “Conferences” “quick links”acei.org (2012) again a link that said “Childcare: Exchange Childcare leaders” and found myself on a website which supports administrators and educational professionals looking for ideas with “Supporting early childhood professionals worldwide in
their efforts to craft thriving environments for children and adults.”secure.ccie.com (2012) this link provided information on an issue concerning raising money online.

From reading this short information encouraged my thinking on how much people rely on social networks to keep in contact with each other and the network receives money. I thought what an idea! How awesome would it be to have a “social network” for individuals, teachers, researchers, colleagues, professors, and community partners etc. that have a passion for child development, current events, research, study and education? Imagine the type of funding for education can be raised worldwide through this social network? The possibilities with this network could grow pretty big. People can donate towards different areas of children’s needs like food, clothing, medical supplies, toys, and supplies for local schools and educational programs. What a massive communication tool for everyone.
I then decided to look towards the Global Campaign for education link. I know I signed up to receive an e-newsletter and haven’t received one yet. I found that children of Chile are struggling for free education. How interesting to read on about people demonstrating their fight for their children’s free education by protesting. I read about how they protest by going on hunger strikes and sleeping in their schools. This information only adds to my understanding of equity and excellence in education by revealing the reality of struggles and hardships for those who truly want a better life for our world’s children. I provided a list of links below please check them out to further particular interests.
