Bundy Uni Map
View Bundy University in a larger map
Google maps are really excellent in teaching children about distance, space and direction. It also gives the a real life view whihc makes it more real for them as opposed to looking at a picture in a book. By bringing up a map of something the students are familiar with it will aslo be engaging for them as they will be interested in the content. This links with Keirsley and Schneiderman's Engagement Theory and also Olviers Design Framework as the maps are multimodal including written text and visual images.

My Voki
Voki's are a really engaging tool for the students as they have total owenership of creating their own little person who says what they want them to say in whatever voice they choose. Multimodal forms of communication are used with this tool and students are able to enhnace and hone their design skills by using this tool. These are elements of Oliver's Learning Design Framework apparent in this tool.

My Temperament Type
My results from the temperament type test were :
ISFJ - The Guardians- Protector.
I found this temperament test to be extremely accurate and very enlighting. It is fascinating that such a simple test can prove to be so accurate in describing a person's temperament type. Some traits included being primarily interested in the saftey and protection of those they care about. This characteristic could not be more true. To me, family is the most important thing in life. They are people that no matter what happens, what mistakes you make or troubles you encounter, they will always be there. This is something that has been strongly instilled in me and is a key trait of being a part of the protector type.
Other characteristics of this type include finding great satisfaction in assisting the downtrodden, and can deal with disability and neediness in others better than any other type. This is something that has always been quite important to me also as I have always been so fortunate to have such a stable life with love and support, that I feel like I want to give something back.
The test for me personally was an excellent tool that really did prove to be correct. After talking with many other people too, their results were also quite accurate. I think this would be a fantastic tool for students and people that work in a team environment to engage in as it will allow them to get to know one another and truly get to know themsleves and make any changes they feel fit to be the person they aspire to be.

My results from this test I found to be somewhat suprising. Although I have always been a very independent person, I feel that I am possibly more logical than the results show. Theverbal and social results from the test I believe are quite accurate however. I am very much a hands on type of person that learns from having a go and from seeing things in action, so the visual result is quite accurate.
