You can answer the questions here on Open Lab or create a journal on Blackboard (which would be private).

  • What did you learn in this module?
    • Information/ knowledge
    • Skills

Movie 2/18 6-8 PM

I hope this message finds you safe & healthy.  2 things to share:

  1. To celebrate National Caregivers Day a movie is being shown virtually on 2/18 6 PM-8 PM that focuses on 24-hour child care  https://www.throughthenightfilm.com/about.  If you are interested in attending the virtual screening email me (jlongley@bmcc.cuny.edu) by Wednesday 2/17 at 5 PM so I can register you for the movie (I will pay the fees). Participating in the movie screening & Q&A will also count towards your ECE 210 fieldwork hours!
  2. I finished reviewing Module 1 & 2  for ECE 209-Lecture– thanks for your thoughtful responses!  Please review the feedback I shared after your comments.  Please remember to a) make specific references & connections to the material in each of the readings & videos in your comments, and b) make your comments are unique from what others have written.
