Week 7 Assignment: Child Development and Technology
CO4: Explore the biological, social/cultural, cognitive and emotional development of the child.
CO6: Engage in critical thinking regarding child development issues.
LO2: Define the impact of peer relations, media and school in child development.
For this assignment, you will create a 10-12 slide PowerPoint presentation examining both the potential cons and pros of children’s use of technology like computers, tablets, smartphones, etc. as it relates to their development. How does technology affect a child’s cognitive, emotional/social, and physical development?
While you can use engaging visuals like graphics, charts, images etc. to enhance your presentation slides it should not be the sole focus of your presentation. You need to clearly cover the requirements listed in the instructions below. All slides should predominantly contain content.
Do not just list bullet points. You need to clearly explain the information that you provide. If you need more room for your explanation, go to the next slide.
Support for each slide should come from either the lesson content, reading materials or other appropriate academic sources. (.com sources are not acceptable sources).
This assignment counts as 25% of your final grade. Please be thoughtful and take time to prepare your presentation.
