Sharing Web Resources

When we first started this class wanted to explore the phillipines and had a pastor and his wife to exchange information, but that has not worked out so well. After exploring several different web sites the one that really stood out to me was http://www.nhsa.org/news_and_advocacy/advocacy/legislative_eupdate this because it has a lot to do with Head start. Wanted to see if the site was similar to what I work with everyday. This site lead me to information about head start, and this goes right along with what we have been talking about for the last couple of weeks.When exploring this site you can learn a lot about head start and the events, but most of all how it shapes the furture of Head Start.
After exploring the site found an area called service. This is where you can explore and learn a lot about the different services they offer to parents and children.There is a fund called dollar per child this is where they make sure the funds are in the proper place. I did not receive any type of news letter from the Phillipines at all. Was talking to a live person to find out about what happens over there. The site I chose I did not see anything that goes with this week's topic at all www.savethechildren.org, or www.childrensdefense.org. There is a lot of information that I have gained throughout exploring the different sites, but I felt the Head start site there was some good information that you could share with parents. Head start is a program that is based on your income, which i feel is very unfair, because there could be other children who need to engage in the program and can't. If we explore all of the different sites I believe we can learn something new from each site to carry back to our co-workers or even friends.

Thank you for your post! It is good to know that we can explore outside sources and come back and impart what we learned with our colleagues. I strongly agree with you that Head Start needs to adjust their program so that more children can benefit from it. Undeniably, Head Start programs have many strengths but they also have some systematical challenges that need to be taken into consideration.
