Create a power point presentation that will describe a healthcare education tool for a specific health need of a specific population that is different than your own.
The presentation should:
1. Identify the population and how it is different than your own.
2. Discuss the importance of the health need.
3. Identify special learning challenges this population faces.
4. Include a description of the tool to teach the information and explain how it works.
5. Discuss how the literature supports the use of the technology you have chosen.
6. Explain how the tool contributes to critical thinking.
7. Explain how the tool contributes to nursing practice and patient outcomes.

Identify the population and how it is different than your own.
Discuss the importance of the health need. For this population. For example: there is an increased incidence of type 2 diabetes mellitus in the teen population so there a need for a tool to address this population’s special needs.
Identify special learning challenges this population faces. For example: income, sensory impairment, or language.
2. Develop a teaching tool: Incorporate technology/multimedia into your tool. For example: texts, twitter, blogs, email, YouTube video.
Include a description of the tool to teach the information. Explain how the tool works but you do not have to actually create the tool. For example: your tool may be a website, but you do not have to actually create the site.
3. Discussion:
Discuss how the literature supports the use of the technology you have chosen.
Explain how the tool contributes to critical thinking â€“ what skills does it develops.
Explain how the tool contributes to nursing practice and patient outcomes.
