EVALUATION
I have thoroughly enjoyed this project as I have been able to look into something I feel passionate about. this means I have been more motivated throughout and wanted to find out more information, make more research and be up to date with my timescales.
I found that planning and preparation has been key throughout as I have kept to a timescale and met targets set by myself at the start of the project. this has helped my time management skills as I’ve been able to dedicate time to certain areas, whilst being up to date with my other briefs.
I have also found that my researching and planning skills have been improved by this work. I have been able to use different techniques to gain and gather information. I have learned to collect in a format that is understandable and can be transferred into different areas of my project, (app and essay).
Something I would like to improve in my app is to have created a journal area. This would’ve been a great asset to my app which would bring together the different areas I have looked into throughout the whole of the project and outside of my university studies within the school journal created.
Overall, I think my work in this project has been a huge step up since my proposal and I have been able to research more about referencing and how to include them more effectively within my dissertation. I also believe the quality of my work produced is much better than previous projects and my app could go live and work effectively to help children and their worries.

PRESENTATION
I presented all my ideas clearly, and stated all the information I had gathered throughout the process.
I made cue cards which helped with my nerves and I found that this was beneficial when public speaking to have a few words that would help me to remember everything I want to talk about.

FINAL QUESTIONS WITH COUNSELLOR
B – What do you think are the best parts about my app?
D – how easy it is for a young person to use and find info
B – colour scheme
D – I like the colour scheme as it is child friendly, and the colours pop on the white background
B – information relevance
D – I like that the info is stored in folders which makes the app easier to follow and understand. For example. Children looking at school issues can get straight to the tests and exams info as its stored in the correct folder.
B – do you think that kids will find this easy to use
D – yes. They will be guided to the answers they need. They also learn about emotions. Situations and how to deal with difficulties
B – any changes you’d make?
D – add a diary section as it will come across more personalised and they may benefit more from the use of a journal. I like the journal side of the book produced from y5/6. Perhaps this could be added later.
B – relevance?
D – it is a very modern and relevant way of helping young people. It’s quick, effective, and provides answers rather than creating more anxiety.
B – designed well?
D – it is well designed to answer questions quickly and effectively.
this app supports mental health and wellbeing resulting in more resilience and abilities for young people.
B -
D - emotional health is important to us all 1/10 children in every case will experience problems at some point. some children, because of their circumstances will have more problems than others. good mental health is about feeling good about yourself and being able too cope with problems.

I made research into facebook groups and an app called Flo (https://flo.health) which helped me to find out that there are a lot of moderators on there.

child. protection
Decide what content is acceptable on your service, and how you’ll make this clear to users.
Be clear on minimum age limits, and discourage those who are too young.
Consider different default protections for accounts that are opened by under 8s.
Plan and regularly update how you’ll manage inappropriate or illegal content posted on your site.
Consider using available age verification and identity authentication solutions.
Plan now for dealing with illegal content.
For under-s, consider a walled garden environment and pre-moderating content before users see it. Also become familiar with the UK rules to advertising to children.
UK rules to advertising to children.
“Marketing communications addressed to or targeted at children must not make a direct exhortation to children to buy an advertised product or persuade their parents or other adults to buy an advertised product for them.” Put simply, marketers should not actively encourage children to buy an advertised product.

When to seek professional help
There's a difference between feeling a bit low from time to time and a serious emotional health problem.
If your child is feeling unhappy and low for a prolonged period of time, it's time to seek more professional help.
Any professional working with children and young people should know what to do.
For example, if you approach a teacher for help with bullying, the teacher might deal with the problem with the help of a school counsellor or welfare worker.
If the problem is more complex, the professional you initially approached may suggest getting help from colleagues with more specialist training.
A GP might refer a parent of a child with behaviour problems to a local parenting programme, or a young person who's depressed might be referred to specialist child and adolescent mental health services.
You should contact your local support services immediately if you're aware of a child or young person at serious risk of harm.

learning styles
Auditory or language learners
These types learn through listening to what others have to say and talking about what they’re learning. They’re also more likely to:
remember information by talking aloud
need to have things explained orally
may have trouble with written instructions
talk to themselves while learning something new
enjoy discussion groups over working alone.
Worth noting: auditory learners might look like they’re not paying attention when you talk to them, but their listening skills are more developed than their visual skills.
Visual learners
As their name suggests, these people learn through watching. It’s believed to be the most dominant learning style and many traditional classrooms are geared towards the visual learner. For their learning to make sense they need to be able to see, visualise and illustrate their knowledge skills and concepts. Visual learning characteristics include:
remembering visual details
preferring to see what they are learning
needing to have paper and pens handy
doodling while listening
liking to write down instructions or see them demonstrated.
Worth noting: Telling these learners how to do something may not make sense to them at all – they need to see it.
Kinaesthetic/tactile learners
These learners like to be actively involved in the learning process, and learn best through hands-on activities and movement. Other kinaesthetic characteristics are they:
want to actually do whatever is being talked about or learned
like to move around while listening or talking
often “talk” with their hands
like to touch things in order to learn about them
remember events by recalling who did what rather than who said what.
Worth noting: These types of learners can be misdiagnosed as ADHD or troublemakers because the more tradition visual or auditory learning styles just don’t work for them.
Is there a fourth style?
While the above three are the major styles discussed, some experts talk about logical or analytical learners. These learn through exploring patterns and understanding how things relate to each other. These learners also:
love knowing how things work
are capable of quite logical thinking at a very young age
ask a lot of questions so they can understand how things interrelate
show an early aptitude at solving mathematical problems
can grasp strategy games at a young age.

DIGITAL AND PHYSICAL LINKS
CHARLOTTE - AGE 9
within my first term of 3rd year, I partnered up with a primary school and their counsellor to create a personalised journal for their year 5 and 6 students. My app works well alongside this as students are able to write down how they feel. Both medias work well together as they compliment each other and the information given is relevant.

MY INITIAL DESIGN OF THIS PAGE WAS EXTREMELY SIMPLE AND I DIDN’T LIKE HOW THERE WAS LIMITED COLOURS AND VIDEOS.

APP LAYOUT
youtube
I designed the layout of the app first before importing any content. I felt this was important as I gained the fundamentals of what I wanted the app to be and what Information should be stored in each section.
I had revisited with the school children before making this final grid of design therefore this is the most recent version of my pre-content app.
