Students choose to work with a 3 or 4 year old child

Students will begin researching

The teacher will provide an example of how an app could be used to assess developmental milestones in children. Students will then search for an app or other technology that they can use to create their assessment.

Students will visit the preschool

Students will create an assessment, using the technology of their choice, that is age-appropriate for the child that they are working with. The goal is for their assessment to be used to assess the child's level of development using a developmental milestone checklist.

Students will use their assessment
