Simon Says would be good because it helps them learn body parts and also observation skills. Hot and cold is a good game because it reinforces the idea of object pe rmanence, just because you can’t see any object doesn’t mean it’s not there.

Did you find any sources sources that you choose not to use - why? What made you choose your sources? sources? Do you feel your information information is reliable? In doing this project our decision making process was pretty simple seeing as though we all have some sort of experience working with children whether it was learning about their development process during a class, field experiences, or working with children during summer camps. We considered using solely internet sources because they are so easy to obtain, but then we all realized that at the end of the day we cannot depend on all the information from internet sources to be reliable. We deci ded to access the library’s Lib-Guide system because it could provide us with a variety of well written scholarly articles and journals. Along with the Lib-Guide system system we decided to look at The Cambridge Cambridge Handbook of Age and Ageing textbook that we checked checked out in the library, which which also gave us a better-rounded look into ageing and the developmental stages that we all go through on a daily basis. We found some articles using google but they were all from Wikipedia, and just from being knowledgeable on the fact that Wikipedia is not a creditable way of getting reliable information we ruled those articles out instantly. We all feel that out sources are reliable because they both were written by scholars and were f ull of knowledgeable that provided us with the information to get us through this project.

Application - List some ways this information information can be used. Who would find the information information helpful? In what careers would a professional need this information? Give at least one example of how this information information could be used. Give an example of a leisure activity activity (game, hobby, pastime, pastime, event, etc.) for someone in this age category. The information can be used to understand or to see if a child is doing what he is supposed to do by that age. It is also helpful to measure if the child is beyond or below the measured standards. Many people will find this information helpful like parents, pediatricians, doctors and teachers. A developmental milestone could be a good way to recognize what domain needs to be addressed. If an eight year old is having communication communication issues it can help the teacher realize what the child should be doing if recognizing certain words and being able to spell them. The best example that I can give for a leisure activity can be baseball. When a child is five years old they get to hit t he ball from the T. once the child practices and develop a better hand eye coordination they can move up to a more complex way of playing. When a child is seven he has to go in a different division called pewee. Now the child is treated as a young adult teaching the child more rules about the game. One example of this would be that if they get three strikes then they are out. But when the child is only five years old they get to hit the ball from a T since they do not have the hand eye coordination expected to hit the ball coming from a machine.

Give an example of a leisure activity (game, hobby, pastime, pastime, event, etc.) for someone in this age category. Males or females that are 18 to 25 years old can find this this information helpful to them.

It is an older article but still has a lot of valuable information.

Evaluation of information - Describe your decision making process for this project. (What types of sources did you consider? Where did you go to find your information? Why did you choose the sources you did? Are there other sources you could use to get more i nformation – list them. Did you find any sources that you choose not to use - why? What made you choose your sources? Do you feel y our information is reliable? Throughout the project our group tried to come to a uniformed decision about what kind of information was most i mportant according to each domain. We considered many of the psychology and sociology journals that applied to the aging process and medical books. We searched in the Sage category under Lib Guides. We chose the sources based on our previous knowledge of the aging process and theories related to aging. We could further our search by lo oking in an AARP magazine, CDChealth.gov, NIHseniorhealth.gov, and even by talking with relatives and older adults through volunteer opportunities. We did find

some sources that could have applied but chose not to because they only covered parts of the information that we needed. Our chosen sources were done so by a group effort of agreement that the information seemed accurate. For the most part we did feel the information was r eliable but could possibly be more current, as older adults are living longer. Application - List some ways this information can be used. Who would find the information helpful? In what careers would a professional need this information. Give at least one example of how this information could be used. Give an example of a leisure activity (game, hobby, pastime, event, etc.) for someone in this age category. This information could be used in the health field and volunteer opportunities. We could use it to help understand older adults better so we can better help them. We could even use it with our own relatives. Anyone in the health field would find this information helpful, as well as caregivers and family of older adults. An example of using this information is to understand that older adults have weaker immune systems and therefore need a curr ent flu shot yearly to keep them from exposure to the influenza virus. Reminiscing the past with a grandchild by listenin g to music from their era would be a l eisure activity for an older adult.
