Era Presentations

I found the era presentations in class today to be a unique and interesting way to learn about occupational therapy throughout the years. Each group brought their own spin to keep the class engaged, whether it was playing Kahoot to see what everyone learned, playing a video, or giving out food. The visual aides were especially helpful with cementing the information in each person’s brain. While the little details of the history might not be the most entertaining information to learn about, it is important to know the past 101 years of occupational therapy and how it has changed to be the profession we all want to become successful in today. This class was a great way to enjoy learning about the history.  The most memorable presentation for me was the 1980s, where they incorporated the Breakfast Club. Relating the history of the 1980s, as well as occupational therapy, to a well-known and loved movie was a great way to make the information memorable.
