Sharing a Zoho doc called 'Learning'

Learning and pedagogies

Learning is a transformational process of active engagement that encompasses:

• learning to live together
  
• learning to be
  
• learning to know and to do

From birth through the first five years of life, children participate in social environments that enrich and shape their learning. Educators use their knowledge of children, the wisdom that families contribute about each child and a broad range of pedagogical possibilities to actively engage with children in learning.  They:

• create opportunities for children to engage with others, their environment and in a range of experiences
  
• intentionally guide children and assist them to discover their potentials and achieve their learning goals
  
• ensure that children encounter cognitive challenges through teaching techniques such as modeling, open questioning, speculating and explanation.

Educators in early childhood settings help children to develop positive dispositions towards learning, including imagination, resilience and reciprocity.  Learning dispositions and styles become important parts of children's learning identities, which they take into new settings, such as school, and also provide the foundation for future formal learning.

Infants and toddlers are naturally curious, and when provided with appropriate opportunities and encouragement will explore the world around them.  These early lerning experiences lead on to preschoolers' exploration of ideas, finding their own solutions to problems and collaborating to pose problems and search for solutions.  This learning is fundamental to lifelong growth and development.

Zoho docs vs Google docs (bien fait, cherie)

I have joined the Zoho community, and surprisingly now feel like a traitor to Google. I much prefered the Zoho doc experience. The tabs, the set up to share and post the doc to my blog. So many more functions and much more user friendly. Im a fan. Now will look at other Zoho gadgets. Charles will be pleased.

Fabuleux ... excellentes nouvelles (great news)

Have just created a word document in Google (Googleaux) and have placed the link on my blog. This links directly to the word document (with image) I have created. Tres intersting. Lots of ideas/options for this little petite option.

Google docs

Google docs is a great way to share information within work units. Whether its rosters, statistics, or tracking work tasks. Some uni's and colleges are getting their students to use this application to share work. Teachers can log into the shared document and make comments. This is especially relevant for distant education students. Group or team assigments can be easily discussed, shared and updated.

vivre la vie amoureuse de vivre a l'amour

Bonjour les amis,
it is time to activate one of the old blogs and get blogging. As per usual time is a precious commodity, one which I am skilled at wasting usefully.

Look forward to new adventures with L2TD, and very relevant skills and information for all sisters of the sisterhood.

Paris in September

Paris (pronounced /paʁi/ in French; /ˈpaɹɪs/ in English) is the capital city of France. It is situated on the River Seine, in northern France, at the heart of the Île-de-France region (aka "Paris Region"; in French: Région Parisienne or RP). The City of Paris has an estimated population of 2,167,994 within its administrative limits (January 2006).[2] The Paris unité urbaine (or urban area) extends well beyond the administrative city limits and has an estimated population of 9.93 million (in 2005),[3] while the Paris aire urbaine (or metropolitan area) has a population of nearly 12 million[4] and is one of the most populated metropolitan areas in Europe.[5]
An important settlement for more than two millennia, Paris is today one of the world's leading business and cultural centres, and its influence in politics, education, entertainment, media, fashion, science and the arts all contribute to its status as one of the world's major global cities.[6] The Paris Region (Île-de-France) is France's foremost centre of economic activity. With €500.8 billion (US$628.9 billion), it produced more than a quarter of the gross domestic product (GDP) of France in 2006.[7] The Paris Region hosts 36 of the Fortune Global 500 companies[8] in several business districts, notably La Défense, the largest purpose-built business district in Europe.[9] Paris also hosts many international organizations such as UNESCO, the OECD, the ICC and the informal Paris Club
