Extractions: Information Literacy Weblog Helping Early Childhood Teacher Education Students Learn about the Internet by Hinchliffe, Lisa Janicke Teacher educators in the early childhood education (ECE) and child development fields can use the technological capacities of the Internet to expand the boundaries of the classroom and enrich the learning experiences of their students. The Internet is a vast system of computer networks that exchange electronic data, thereby facilitating communication and access to information. Many teacher educators are aware of the potential of the Internet but are not certain how to integrate the Internet into early childhood teacher education. This digest provides examples of projects which could be used in a child development classroom to introduce students to Internet resources. The URLs ("uniform resource locators," or Internet addresses, of websites or Gophers) cited in boldface numbered items are listed in the Electronic References section at the end of the digest. GETTING STARTED A connection to the Internet and a willingness to learn are the foundation for integrating the Internet into an ECE classroom; however, a few other resources will help. Students must receive training in how to use the Internet. Texts by Kovacs (1995) and Jaffe (1994) can help teacher educators design appropriate training sessions. A guide published by ERIC/EECE (1995) provides specific information about using the Internet and describes Internet resources of interest to adults working with young children. Teacher educators can also use materials made available via the Internet by other Internet trainers, such as can be found in the searchable index at YAHOO!, titled COMPUTERS AND INTERNET.

Extractions: The University Record, June 24, 1998 U centers play vital role in early childhood development By Rebecca A. Doyle The University's five child care centers all operate differentlysome offer full-time care, some take younger children and they close for different days during the year. But they have one important thing in commonthey are among only 10 percent of the early education programs that are nationally accredited. Helping children learn and grow in the best environment and in the best direction for each child is the monumental task they face eagerly each day. Recently published research has shown that early childhood education is vital to later development for children in school and beyond. Teachers in the University's facilities take their role seriously in preparing children for school and for life by making sure they are exposed to learning in an environment that is supportive and offers variety and encouragement. A typical day for the U-M's teachers and assistants includes not only a day filled with activities designed for very young children with short attention spans, but a growing need on part of the parents for interaction with the teacher. "Early childhood teachers play a unique role," notes Donna Woehrle, head teacher at Pound House Children's Center. "Families are isolated now from extended family and we have become their support system. We know the children as people, and often act as peers for parents who are, especially here at the U-M, sometimes older and have no peers with children the same age."
