Welcome to the Early Childhood page

Early Childhood is such an important stage in the educational process, and I've always been amazed at the work that the teachers do with kids at this age. I've taught the little ones on occasion, and they can be a handful. EC teachers seem to always be rushed, even more so than their colleagues who teach the older students. I want to work on this page over the next few months to develop the links and come up with some creative ways to use technology with these students. That being said, I happen to be a strong believer in not overdoing the tech with kids at this age. They have so much to do and so much energy that it's a shame to plunk them in front of a computer for 45 minutes like some schools do just to satisfy parents or give their classroom teacher a break.

The Practicalities of Moving to Bali: A Primer for Life in the Tropics

My eBook on expat life in Bali is now available for purchase. Please click on the link to learn more about this book that you'll want to read if you plan on moving to Bali. Here's what a reader has said about this book:

"Bruce Pohlman's e-book has already been a godsend to my wife Elsha and me. He writes in an inviting and colorful way. He covers the GENERAL: culture shock, the wonders and risks of living overseas, to the SPECIFIC - costs of living, housing, medical issues, visas, employment. He even includes much PERSONAL info: what expats are like, why he left a job in San Francisco and ended up in Bali, personal and family relationships. And much more; anything you might want to know is in his e-book, with links to helpful websites throughout. We've used it to guide us countless times; it's like having a trusted uncle who's an expert. This book should become a classic about Bali."
