second life!!!
what is second life???
second life is a 3-D virtual world, owned and built by residents.
From the moment you enter the World you'll discover a vast digital continent, teeming with people, entertainment, experiences and opportunity. Once you've explored a bit, perhaps you'll find a perfect parcel of land to build your house or business.
You'll also be surrounded by the Creations of your fellow residents. Because residents retain the rights to their digital creations, they can buy, sell and trade with other residents.
The Marketplace currently supports millions of US dollars in monthly transactions. This commerce is handled with the in-world unit-of-trade, the Linden dollar, which can be converted to US dollars at several thriving online Linden Dollar exchanges

it has an economy, education, marketplace, business...its an online world.

mulitple intelligence online!
it is now no longer HOW smart you are! it is what intelligence is your stongest!
linguistic
logical
visual
rhythmic
kinestheitc
naturalist
interpersonal
intrapersonal
existential
when designing a lesson it must be analytical, interactive, introspective.
when using ICT, it must include activities that include these 3 domains!
http://surfaquarium.com/mi/intelligences.htm is a site on multiple intelligences. it contaians all types of intelligences and activities for each, using ICT.
how do we handle multiple intelligences in the ICT environment??!

http://surfaquarium.com/mi/intelligences.htm is a site on multiple intelligences. it contaians all types of intelligences and activities for each, using ICT.
how do we handle multiple intelligences in the ICT environment??!
we can handle mulitple intelligences in ICT by:
need to be aware of your dominat domain of intelligence as it gives you a natural bias when teaching
be aware of the natural dominat domain of intelligence of your students.
make sure you offer activities for each of the three domains in your lesson. offer these simulataneously
organise activities in the ICT world that are around the three domains.
what is my dominant intelligence?
my dominant intelligece domain is interactive (linguistic, interpersonal and kinesthetic).
learners in this area typically employ to express themselves and explore their environment.
I characterize these three intelligences as interactive because even though they can be stimulated through passive activity they typically invite and encourage interaction to achieve understanding. Even if a student completes a task individually, s/he must consider others through the way s/he writes, creates, constructs and makes conclusions. The interactive intelligences are by their nature social processes.

Bruner
his theoretical position states that learning is an active process that learners constructnew ideas and concepts based on their current knowledge
this also is the underlying principle in the constructivism theory. studnets build their knowledge on their previous schema.
a cognitive structure will provide meaning and sturcture to infomation
it is encouraged to let the student discover principles for themselves
active dialog and a spiral organised curriculum will work so that the student is continulally learning
his ideas are based on catorgirsation, "To perceive is to categorize, to conceptualize is to categorize, to learn is to form categories, to make decisions is to categorize."
the narrative construction of reality!
Narrative diachronicity: The notion that narratives take place over some sense of time.- Particularity: The idea that narratives deal with particular events, although some events may be left vague and general.
- Intentional state entailment: The concept that characters within a narrative have "beliefs, desires, theories, values, and so on" (7).
- Hermeneutic composability: The theory that narratives are that which can be interpreted in terms of their role as a selected series of events that constitute a "story." See also Hermeneutics
- Canonicity and breach: The claim that stories are about something unusual happening that "breaches" the canonical (i.e. normal) state.
- Referentiality: The principle that a story in some way references reality, although not in a direct way that offers verisimilitude.
- Genericness: The flipside to particularity, this is the characteristic of narrative whereby the story can be classified as a genre.
- Normativeness: The observation that narrative in some way supposes a claim about how one ought to act. This follows from canonicity and breach.
- Context sensitivity and negotiability: Related to hermeneutic composability, this is the characteristic whereby narrative requires a negotiated role between author or text and reader, including the assigning of a context to the narrative, and ideas like suspension of disbelief.
- Narrative accrual: Finally, the idea that stories are cumulative, that is, that new stories follow from older ones.
Networking
Part of this project was to post blogs on other people blog space as such!!
To do this we had to invite and be invited oin turn to join and contribute to someone's blog. This was an activity that was done in class, and in class for a reason. To overcome difficulties easily!
Personally I was absent for the actual tutorial that this was done and as a result the task itself was harder even with the guidance of these wonderful people!! Many of s were new to this blogging and the ability to do something new such as intive authors to our blogs was a lot easier with the authors present to help troubleshoot!
For example people were present at the time to give their emails and confirm their invitation almost instantly. Where as if we had been doing it seperatly at home, we wouldn't haev had this quick acception and would not have known if we had actually done it right!!!
When undertaking the intivaton process, my invitation from a classmate (cough Stefan cough hehe) was continously not coming through. If we had been seperate at home, this may have caused an issue! We would either not have noticed or we would have had to converse through other means to correct it! It turns out it was simply an error in the email address given but even something like that if we were not both present may have been a larger issue to figure out!!!
Working at it simitaniously meant we could all create these fabulous blogs!!!!!
