As I have grown and begin to understand my own learning style, I have realized i am a visual learner. So, I decided to use videos to represent my understanding of child development and a way to represent what I feel is important in the early childhood field. The following three videos are important to me and I wanted to share. Enjoy!
This TED talk by Alison Gopnik is one of the most amazing TED talks I have listened to. This talk has shaped my way of thinking about child development. Thanks to my course this semester I was introduced to Alison Gopnik and feel her research and knowledge can help educators interact with children on a daily bases.

I found this video on you tube and decided to post this to my blog because this represents my commitment to getting children outside and the importance of outdoor play.

This video gives my perspective a voice and I feel as a professional in the early childhood field that I can help parents and families to understand the importance of play and how this coincides with their development.

Thank you for all that you have shared throughout this course. I have learned a great deal from you. Good luck in your future courses! I like your videos and comments about children and play. Play is so important in a child's life. It encourages creative thinking and teaches children how to interact with the world around them. I think it is so important to teach caregivers and parents about the importance of play.
