Developmental Psychology (B posting)

For my Developmental Psychology class three classmates and I are required to teach the class about one chapter of the book. The chapter we choose is called “The Family.” This chapter takes us through the transitions of life from infancy, toddler, childhood, adolescence, adulthood, and lastly to late adulthood. As a group, we planned and organized this project out of class. In order to get a hold of the whole group we used emails. We decided to make a PowerPoint to teach the class. I volunteered to make the PowerPoint and each group member sent me their information to add to it.
By teaching the class we are getting a solid understanding of the chapter. By working out side of class we are learning how to stay informed and become active participants in our project. The main challenge for me, since I am putting together the PowerPoint is to receive everyone’s section of the chapter. People are sending them to me at different times. That makes it difficult to organize the information into a PowerPoint. To overcome these challenges I emailed group members to remind them of the project and to see how much more time they needed. Each member responded to me with their section attached and completed shortly after the email. I learned that I can take on the challenge of putting a group’s information together and making a powerful, clear, and concise PowerPoint. I also learned in a project like this it is helpful to keep all the information organized. I saved all the files to one folder on my desktop, before I tried to convert it into a PowerPoint. This I found helpful and as a result the presentation went great.
