As part of my work at Calvert - and with our push in the social media arena – I have launched a new online community! It’s called ChimeInOnline.com and the purpose is to attract people interested in early childhood education, particularly pre-school through about 3rd grade. Why are we doing this? There are two major reasons:
1. We have a theory on a particular product & service that I am researching. I want to spur conversation in the topic are and see if any nuggets come out of that may validate, modify or junk our theory *before* spending the time and money to build it.
2. Emily is 5. I have a personal vested interest in the subject matter! As I mention on the site, even if a "business" doesn’t come out of this, I don’t think this is wasted effort. In fact, it may be *more* valuable as a resource for parent, teachers, grandparents, etc. for helping instigate change and improvement in early childhood education. How cool would that be?
