Brainstorming
For the development of this learning object I knew that I wanted to select a topic that was (1) a subject that I am familiar with and (2) a subject that I was passionate about. What I decided on was a topic that I had previously researched during my undergraduate studies: mental health disorders.
For this module I wanted to focus on depression among the teenage population as the symptoms of depression can be hiding in plain sight. Taking into consideration that teenagers spend a majority of their time in school I felt that it would be important to develop a learning module that provides teachers with the knowledge necessary to spot signs of depression since teachers spend so much time with their students.
