Written Summary (50 points)
Choose a topic that relates to your professional learning community, it links ideally with your PLC, career path, and search out a specialization if you have one. It can be on any age span from conception/ birth to late adulthood/death, i.e., the life span groups.
Use the Library to search a “journal article”. Use the data base filters to preferably discover a “research journal” only and a filter that chooses articles within the last 5-10 years, and finally in a PDF mode to store in your google drive.
