Introduction
You have arrived at the third part of the Course Project.

Instructions
This week, submit the following:

• A thesis statement stating your opinion/conclusion on the issue, the supporting points you will offer and at least one relevant opposing view you will address.
• An annotated bibliography with evaluation of at least five (5) sources you intend to use in your final paper to support your claim.
  • These are sources that provide evidence to support that your claim should be accepted by the reader.
  • Scholarly sources are preferred and should be used where available; due to the nature of some of the topics, authoritative articles in very high quality substantive journals may also be acceptable.

Use the Source Evaluation Worksheet to determine the following:

• If your source is current
  • If it is not current, explain why you think it is acceptable.
• If your source is credible, reliable, and authoritative
• How well your source supports your thesis
  • If the annotation does not make this obvious, explain to your instructor how you will use it.
• If your support is popular
  • If it is, explain to your instructor why you think it is acceptable.

Prepare a citation, annotation, and evaluation for each source.

In addition to the assignment specifics, your paper should: 

• Be a minimum of 5 pages, not including the title and reference pages.

Remember! This DB has 3-parts. Part 1 is due on Thursday @ 11:59 PM and parts 2 & 3 are due on Sunday @ 11:59 PM.

Part 1: We see all around us health information. In commercials (do you still watch those??), public health campaigns, as as well social media. With the proliferation of social media, we may have greater exposure to health information. However, not all information that is shared is credible and accurate. It’s important that accurate information is shared by credible sources. Social media is increasingly being used by scientists, educators, and public health experts to disseminate evidence-based health information. 

For this discussion board, I’d like you to explore health information and health education discussions posted on social media from health teachers, school nurses, or other school health educators. You may reference any social media such as Instagram, TikTok, Twitter, YouTube, or Facebook. Make sure to focus on accounts that are focused on sharing and discussing health education (not just an account from someone who happens to be a health education teacher or school nurse). 

As you explore content posted by health teachers, school nurses, or other school health educators consider the following:

• What seems to be a top priority for them based on the content they create & share?
• How are they engaging with their audience (i.e., what seems to be their intent)? For example, are they seeking to educate a certain audience, seeking to connect & engage with other health educators, and/or advocate for certain issues they feel are important? 
• What are your thoughts about the quality of information that they share?
• What are your thoughts about the quality of the content they create (e.g., style, formatting, appeal, accessibility, and how understandable you found the material)? You might also comment on the creator’s following & engagement if you deem it necessary. 
• If the educator/teacher/nurse shares the following information, please include it when discussing their post(s): their title, where they work, and what grade level(s). 

Select 2-3 specific posts to provide (include as links or screenshots – depending on the content) as examples for your readers (me & your peers) to refer to as you share your thoughts. 

Part 2: 

1. Watch the short videos of educators found in Module 2 Learning Activities section. 
2. Compare and contrast what you learned from your exploration of health teachers in social media and what you heard from the teachers in the videos 
3. Describe how you could integrate what you heard, saw, and experienced from your exploration and videos into your own classroom to teach students about Life Skills, Stress Management, or Media Literacy Skills as described in the book. (be sure to use specific references and examples)
4. What is going to be your biggest challenge for teaching Life Skills, Stress Management, or Media Literacy Skills? What questions do you have about teaching these topics?

 

“One of the most important steps in launching a new business venture  is fashioning a well-designed, practical, realistic financial plan.”  (Scarborough & Cornwall, 2015, p. 454).

Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:
