eTeaching Institute at the World Forum: U.S. Perspectives
by Chip Donohue

Last week I shared information on the EC eTeaching Institute that was held prior to the World Forum on Early Care and Education in Montreal. I included information on four international distance learning program showcases and links to learn more.

This week I want to feature the four United States distance learning programs that were part of a panel presentation at the eTeaching Institute. These four programs represent different sponsoring organizations, different technologies and methodologies, and different audiences.

The four featured U.S. distance learning programs were:

- Early Childhood en español, University of Cincinnati, Early Childhood Learning Community presented by Lisa Holstrom

- Pacific Oaks College Online presented by Judy Magee

- HeadsUp! Network, National Head Start Association, presented by Kathy Ward-Cameron

- Eager-to-Learn, Minnesota Child Care Resource & Referral Network presented by Cory Woosley
