Question 4

I have incorporated Glasser into my Blog by the game below. This focuses on one of Glasser’s five essential needs for learning to take place - Fun. Fun is present in this game because the object of the game is to remember which images are under which tile. This is also working students’ memory. The more they play this game the better their memory will get according to the number of tries it takes them to finish the game. It improves overall memory with the images changing every time they play, the fun part of the game. This game could also be considered fun if students were trying to improve their memories against each other, trying to outdo each other.



Gardner’s theory of multiple intelligences can be seen via this link http://www2.bgfl.org/bgfl2/custom/resources_ftp/client_ftp/ks3/ict/multiple_int/index.htm
This is useful in a blog because it outlines the ways in which students learn and how they have different ways of learning. It is important to keep this in mind when teaching. The Multiple Intelligence test on this site is useful to teachers because they could get their students to find out which intelligence they are strongest in and the best way they learn. It is important to know this so that the students know what they are best at and the teacher knows which students learn in which ways and how they can alter their lessons to accommodate these intelligences.

Bruner is incorporated into this blog by the use of actions, in the form of video, icons in the form of the mind map and symbols in the text.

Vygotsky is present in this blog in the form of social interaction, students would be able to play the memory game against each other. It is also present with the video, students are able to comment to other users on the video and its content.

Question 3

From this course I consider the best aspects of online learning to be the ability for students to explore and create their own knowledge. They have a greater amount of tools available online to do this. Because today’s students have grown up with technology it is very important that they learn online because they are familiar with it, and use itad part of their everyday lives. It provides an invaluable tool for them, with a huge amount of information available.
The ability for students to learn online and create their own knowledge means they have a deeper understanding of what they are learning, if they are creating their own knowledge and learning through interaction with others, it creates a genuine interest in the topic for them. Students are able to create different forms of presentation for assessments etc. with the use of PowerPoint and video from the Internet. The use of audio is also an important part of online learning, students can listen to audio files from the past to find out what it was really like. This is particularly useful in their study of history.

I consider these parts of online learning to be the best because of the things students are able to do, it really engages them in learning and is considered fun compared to how they may have learned in the past.

Question 2

Question 1

There are several components to a blog that make it interesting and worth looking at. These can include: Images, video, audio/sound files, graphic organisers or mind maps and games.

The following components are important components of a blog

Video is an important component of a blog because it allows those who have the visual or musical learning styles to learn the topic, they may not learn as well without this component. Video is important to blog because it engages the viewer and is more engaging than say, a huge amount of text that has the same information. It also can be seen as authentic if it is like an interview.

Graphic organisers are an important component to a blog because they allow the viewer to again gain the same amount of knowledge that is contained in text. Graphic organisers or mind maps simplify information that link different ideas to each other and draw conclusions, they can also be used to summarise a great deal of information into a well organised diagram that is easy to follow.


Games are an important part of a blog because they provide a sense of fun to the viewer, while still being able to learn the concept or topic. Games bring about interaction and learning is considered better because there is an end goal that the viewer is aiming for, also, with practice the viewer is able to refine their skill at the game.
