Kaltura PowerPoint Assignment

Kaltura PowerPoint Assignment

Think back to the Week 1 Discussion about majoring in psychology. Why did you choose to major in psychology? What are your goals after you graduate? Perhaps you want to help children with intellectual and developmental disabilities improve their functioning at home or school. Or perhaps you want to go to graduate school to become qualified to provide therapy to survivors of sexual violence. Understanding your “why,” or your future goals can help focus your efforts now as you progress through the program and identify steps to effect real change in your community. For example, if your goal is to help children with intellectual and developmental disabilities, you could look for opportunities to integrate research about intellectual and developmental disabilities into classroom discussions and assignments that pertain to child development. You could also volunteer at an organization, like Autism Speaks, to advocate on behalf of children with autism in your community.

In this Discussion, you will use Kaltura to record a brief video or narrated PowerPoint (PPT) presentation on your “why” or future goals. You will address how pursuing a degree in psychology aligns with your “why” and what you can do to bring about positive social change during the program and after you graduate. For guidance on posting a video into the Discussion Forum, refer to the Kaltura section of the Classroom Support Center (accessed via the Help button (the i icon) on the left- hand global navigation menu.

To Prepare

Reflect on the Week 1 Discussion when you discussed why you chose to major in psychology.  View the video, Walden: Follow Your Why. With the video and the Week 1 Discussion in mind, consider your “why” or what future goals motivate you. Consider how pursuing a degree in

psychology aligns with your “why.”

Review the article, “Expanding our Understanding of Social Change.” Pay particular attention to the definition and core features of social change. With your “why” in mind, think about how you could advance social change during the program and after you graduate.
