Written and oral communication skills in order to serve as an effective health resource person as
well as facilitate development and maintenance of collaborative relationships.
Description of the Signature Assignment
As a future Health Educator it is important to know how to obtain and disseminate
Health-Related Information. Serving as a public health resource requires one to know how to
identify valid and reliable online sources such as health related databases, disease specific sites,
health related organizations and research found in journal articles. This assignment will require
students to use the internet to find valid and reliable Health Education/Promotion Information as
well as present their findings to the class.
Directions for Students
There are three parts to this assignment: a two page narrative, oral video presentation (must
watch all of your peers presentations) and develop 1 slide with 5
interesting facts which you will also include in the discussion titled
“Internet Assignment.”
● 2 Page Narrative: 7 points
o Select a health related Internet site that is .gov, .org, and .edu ONLY (NOT an
online article, but a health website) and write a two-page narrative paper
describing this site, be sure to include the following 6 points:
▪ The address of the site,
▪ Explain what the site is about,
▪ The layout and types of topics are included on this site
▪ Reasons this site is valid based on what you learned in chapter 9
▪ Description of links reached from this site and
▪ Description of how a health educator could use this site.
● Oral Video Presentation: 7 points
o Prepare a short oral report explaining the site to the class. Your video should
include you naming and describing the internet site and 5 interesting facts about
the site (on your PowerPoint slide). It should be available on YouTube and the
link copy and pasted onto a new thread in the discussion titled “internet
assignment.” 2-3 minutes presentation. You can do a screen record from your
laptop but you will LOSE POINTS if you record your laptop screen with your
phone. This makes your video look shaky and unprofessional. Most computers
and laptops have built in screen recorders that will do the job for you.
