In class, we learned about children's cognitive development. Cognitive development deals with information processing, perceptual skills, language learning and other aspects of brain development.
One of the most interesting things I found from this information presented is that how long our minds are developing even through our early 20's. We discussed the effects on alcohol, drugs, and stress on our system as we are developing. It is amazing how much our minds are changing throughout adolescence and keeping this in mind is important as we become teachers to students in middle adolescence.
During this presentation we were also asked to show what we had learned from it with a drawing. Students were able to present and share their drawing with the class and it was fun and interesting to see the different perspectives that others took with their drawings.
