Assessment

Lesson 20 Assignment (Discussion)

Here is the situation...you are a rehabilitation professional and you have been tasked with designing posters that both attract and educate young CNAs who are going to be working at a local long-term care facility. Links to each of these "posters" will be sent to each CNAs work email.

Pick ONE of the issues outlined above and create a "Glog". You will be using an online service called Glogster to design your poster.

This assignment will be lots of fun for you creative types!

NOTE: This "Assignment" actually appears as a Discussion...when you have completed your Glog, copy the URL into a discussion post. View and comment on each other's Glog. The grade, however, will not be a function of the posting, but of the quality of the Glog alone. I'm looking for creativity and educational impact.
