Your task is to create a website (blog) designed to inform parents, educators, and perhaps other students like yourselves about important aspects of a child’s development. Your blog page should include useful information covered in this course, such as:
- Family, Culture, and Community (this is the one i’m doing)
- Biological Beginnings
- Physical Development
- Cognitive Development
- Intelligence
- Language Development
- Development of Academic Domains
Information presented should be general, but serve to inform individuals with a need to learn more about child development in creative and interesting ways.
Examples
The following websites provide examples of how you may want to present information:
1. The Child Development Institute provides several examples of how to present your material. Examples include:
- Charts of milestones by domain and age (more comprehensive than yours should be, but a nice format).
- Articles about general aspects of development (also more comprehensive than yours need to be, but a nice format)
2. Center for Inclusive ChildcareLinks to an external site. the child and family web guide provides website information for families and useful should you choose to add some links to your site.
Finally, several blog sites are available and are free to use:
Criteria for Grading
Review the instructions to successfully complete your Final Group Project.
Keep in mind, I require all of the following to be included:
1. General overview of your area of development including any important information
2. Developmental milestones for early childhood
3. Theoretical background of your area of development (mention one or two theorists who are relevant).
4. Way in which you can promote healthy development in your area
5. Charts, pictures, videos, and multimedia to make your website attractive to readers
My group members are doing the other topics. I am doing the topic in Bold. I will put everything on the website all you need to do is put it on a word document and i will transfer to the blog.
