Discussion 14

/in /by

Search for an informative website on depression. (Important…Look for one that is not a .com; search for one that is a .org, .gov, etc.  These are more appropriate as academic sources.)  Look to your textbook and other sources for different forms of depression (i.e., PDD, perinatal depression, psychotic depression, bipolar, etc.).  Feel free to choose any of these subtypes for your search.

Write a summary of the site (1-2 paragraphs) and a thoughtful critique (1-2 paragraphs). Include the site address (url).

The purpose of this activity is to have class members collaborate in creating an on-line resource guide. Your summary should include the site address, a brief description of the information available, your thoughtful critique of the value of the information (including credibility, user friendliness, and usefulness), and related links.

For full points, your response should be a minimum of three paragraphs and should include references to the textbook and at least one additional source.  Use APA formatting when citing your sources, parenthetically and at the end of your essay. Please do not copy and paste from sources into these essay posts at all.  Only your own words should be present (no quotations of any size).  Please use full sentences in paragraph form at all times; bulleted or numbered lists are not appropriate for an APA essay.

Create a slide presentation (GoogleSlides,Prezi, or PowerPoint) describing how the digital adaptation would work with 6-8 slides:

1-3 slides that restructure the original text and justify the usefulness of the digital medium in your adaptation.
1-2 slides that examine the text as whole and explore reasonings for choosing this book for your digital adaptation.
1-3 slides explaining how this digital medium (character blogging/video diaries) chosen enhances the Blackmans first installment of the series; and how it will work as a means of a digital narrative for young people.
