What surprising facts/insights/new ideas about early childhood did you gain from exploring this international early childhood website?
This website is horrible to review! I spent the better part of an hour just trying to find something substantial that this group has contributed. It's altogether very possible that this group has done amazing things, but the website is just a circular maze of nothingness..
Who we are, our contacts, etc...yet it appears from the surface it is a group that exists just to exist..I hope this is not the case..Most of the site describes how to submit, who decides what gets accepted, BUT where are the articles????
**Little background, I contacted about 10 people from the Country contacts and either landed on dead links or never got a reply..TACKKY!! I had hoped to use this site for assistance and found a lot of dead ends!
As I stated earlier, nothing can be readily found on this site..You have to actually leave the site and head over to Taylor Francis to find any of the journal articles..Except you can't get to them without way too much fuss..
I ended up finding the articles, most from 2011, so I have to wonder what's this group been doing with their dues for the last couple of years??
I am sorry that you chose to look at a website that really doesn't give you very good information. It is really a shame when you go to a site and realize that this wasn't the best choice. I was almost beginning to feel the same way about the Early Childhood Australia website but for some reason I decided to give the site something of a chance. Thank you for the information that you did share about a website that I will avoid.
ReplyDeleteAfter reading your review, I had to check this one out for myself. I can see why you were so frustrated--and then to top it off the "What's New?" section was under construction. Just be thankful that you did not have to rely on this one for current information and that there are plenty of sites out there that are more easily navigable.
ReplyDeleteIt does not seem like you had much success! I think staying current is such an important piece of research in the ECE field. Especially since the field IS making big changes and continues to make great strides in creating a difference in the lives of young children and their families!!
ReplyDeleteI too was disappointed about the site and no recent articles. Hopefully we can find some more recent research from Africa soon.
