CCInform Today's post is a reminder to students about the CCInform service. I've written about this site before (see <a href="http://bcftcschildhoodeducation.blogspot.com/2008/11/ccinform.html" target="_blank">previous post</a>), but have found it very useful in dealing with several enquiries I've received over the summer from students that are beginning to plan their dissertations. The topics I've used the site for recently include teenage pregnancy, asylum-seeking families and SEN, but there are plenty of other subjects which are well covered by the service.<br /><br />To access CCInform, you need to log onto Blackboard, click on the 'Library' tab, then go into the 'Non-Athens Resources' section and select the site from there. If you have any diificulties in accessing CCInfom, please <a href="mailto:D.Renfree@ucb.ac.uk">let me know</a>. CCInform Today's post is a reminder to students about the CCInform service.

"Good," was her response. I asked what she had been doing the past week in her new class. "Well, we made visors the first day, with our names on them." I inquired about the rest of the week. She shrugged and said, "I don't know. Stuff." Somehow, there was only one stand-out memory from the week. I began to think about how time seems to pass much quicker for me than it did when I was younger. It becomes a challenge to create memories that stand out while time is whizzing by rapidly.<br />I also recently had dinner with a former kindergarten student, who is an adult now. I was taken back by what he remembered from my kindergarten class. He recalled our hillbilly band, learning how to read (yeah!) and the one time he got into trouble for talking too much. I don't even remember ever talking to him about behavior. He was a wonderful student. I think I was shocked that one of his first memories was one isolated time he was corrected.</div><div>Salvador Dali's "Persistence of Time" picture always makes me feel that we need to be more effective with our time, before it melts away. Particularly, when we work with small children whose brains are building life-long skills and memories. I'm committed to making myself create more positive memories for myself and those around me.</div> Time...
