Great presentation Jennifer!! Wish I could see the video if one was recorded during the program. Just curious if you are familiar with the work of Connie Barlow (wife of Michael Dowd) who is a science writer and developed a wide array of children’s material regarding the story of the universe. No one has posted her work as yet in the resources section. I am going to email her and let her know about your site.
Thanks so much for you comment Richard. Yes indeed I know Connie. She and Michael have been friends for years and are definitely on list of people to contact about the site. Over the years Connie has developed a huge resource list which we definitely want on the Deep Time Journey Network. Unfortunately the keynote address for the American Montessori Society was not video taped. I’ll be posting other videos soon. I understand from Mary Coelho that you also have a wealth of resources to share. Great to have you on the Network Richard!
