TASK

As team members, each enacting a different role, you will explore and critically analyze journal articles, web resources, and other relevant materials about the potential health problems of children with Down syndrome to prepare material to present to Mrs. S. and other family members of children with Down syndrome, as well as to your fellow pediatric clinic nurses.

Each learner will:

2. A creative, evidence-based, and brief 5 minute Microsoft PowerPoint presentation that your team will present to fellow learners and that relates your findings about potential health problems of children with Down syndrome

Additional individual outcomes of this webquest will be preparation and submission of the following annotated references from the expert role that each team member will assume:
