Question 4

the following is an example how how I incorporated Blooms higher order thinking into my blog. as i needed to evaluate and assess our problems in attaining contributors. overall though all our blogs are examples of Higher order thinking as we have created them.

If i added you at 8pm
If i had added my contributors at 8pm yesterday instead of 9:20 this morning it would have caused great distress. at this point we are able to sit together talk freely and work out who is on who's blog and if the system is working correctly. if i had been sitting at home on my own, trying to work out who i added successfully and who i didn't and which persons blog i am able to contribute to and to which persons site i can't i would have been a mess. being in a social surrounding and working together enabled us to work it out together and turn to help if need be. not only are we able to talk about it but we are also able to turn around look at another persons screen and show them exactly where to go. if sitting at home on my own and chatting through MSN without being able to see the screen the person through the chat room was discussing it would have been enormously confusing. ending up in phone calls occurring to try and realise what we are doing, where we need to 'click' and who's on who's blog. By eventually attaining the other blogs and authors onto each others site we are know able to access more information on the same topic, we are able to network with so much more ease and easily show work we have produced instead of needing to send files back and forth through MSN or email accounts now we can simply log on and view the files, information and sources we need for the work we are searching.

Vygotsky's theory is based around social interaction. This has been incorporated into my blog through my contributors and through our class Wiki. An example of social interaction on my blog can be seen below which was posted on my blog from a contributor.

To incorporate Glasser's theory into my blog i added aspects which allowed for freedom and fun. My contributors had the freedom of posting information (example above) and I also incorporated games, pod casts, videos and pictures and diagrams. Below is a small sample and just one of the many pictures included in my blog. Another aspect which can also can cause interest and engagement resulting in a sense of freedom and fun is the multiples intelligence test.

I Incorporated Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences by having pictures, videos and games which appeal to all the different learning styles. iIIncorporated numerous diagrams (as seen above) as well as the multiples intelligence test. A site for the games and a sound clip are found below.
