I need some help. I was told that we no longer do observations only learning stories. I was then told that we need to do both. Can someone tell me the difference between these and how many I should be doing for each child.Thanks

I am finding it hard to change from the old ways of ob's to the learning stories. But the online tools are helping me heaps. Just to to re-teach myself to shorten them lol ...

Hi Kaz,

Are you still doing obs as well as learning stories or are you just sticking to learning stories? You can still do both... For an event or a spontaneous experience or even a group interest you can do learning stories and also do observations too. When I do monthly obs, each month i will do a different method...one month I will do a learning story, another month a photo ob etc.

For my last task it's asking for learning stories. I have mostly only ever did obs working as a assistant. So writing things in short but detailed is different. But I am getting there
