Huizinga (1949) believes that in play there is something "at play" which transcends the immediate needs of life and imparts meaning to the action. All play means something....</span></div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

If I were to describe ambiance whilst playing monopoly deal I would say that I feel competitive, relaxed but aware of what I am doing and anxious to see what my apponents next move will be. After playing the game I gain a feeling on contentment for doing something that I enjoy (especially if I have won!).<br />

I like things to be neat so when I place my cards down I lay them out evenly and in a neat, straight pile. This is the complete opposite to my opponent as she spreads her cards out and does not keep hers in order like I do. This effects the look of the game which bothers me slightly. As long as I keep my area tidy I am not to bothered by others.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">A good hand of card is also aesthetically pleasing and I find myself smiling when I see are card I having been hoping to get.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">The most properties that I put down means the closer I am to winning the game, so it is aesthetically pleasing to see more property cards than less in front of me.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><b><u>Spirituality: </u></b><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>is described by Brukhardt (1989) as a journey of lived experience, </span>characterised by a greater sense of peace, meaning, purpose and connectedness.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Personally the meaning of spiritually is anything in my life that is meaningful to me and gives me a sense of worth and within myself.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">When I think of playing monopoly deal I get excited! I cannot wait to pick Sammi* up from school so we can start playing together. It is meaningful for me to play this game as I feel relaxed and confident in my abilities. It has now become an important routine for Sammi* and I to play this together each time I work with her. This game connects us in a way that we both love to play it so it is something we have in common, breaking down the 6year age barrier.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><br />

Labour is the activity which corresponds to the biological process of the human body (Arendt, 1958).<br />
My understanding of Labour is an activity that is essential to human survival.<br />
Work is the activity which corresponds to the unnaturalness of human existence (Arendt, 1958).<br />
My understanding of work is an activity that is chosen by the individual and not essential to survive.<br />

<br />
Monopoly deal comes under the category of work. It is a game that is not essential for me to survive and is something that I choose to do.<br />
I could look at it from the perspective of I play monopoly deal at work to teach my client new skills and at work I earn money and without money I wouldn't be able to afford specific things I need to survive e.g food and rent for shelter. I choose to that certain activity when I work to teach therefore monopoly deal comes under the category of work not labour.<br />
<br />
In the tutorial Hilary asked us to think about what would happen if our kind of work or labour was taken away from us:<br />
In terms of affordances I would lose:<br />
Communication: Social interaction between both my client I work with and also those of friends and family members I play with.<br />
Connection: I use monopoly deal to connect with Sammi* and to teach her her skills. I connect with both family and friends by bringing us together after a long day to play.<br />
Memories: The opportunity to create new memories and I may also forget how to play over time.<br />

I decided to change the environment for Sammi* to make the game easier by taking her to a quieter part of the house where she was able to concentrate and allow us to interact without distraction. Instead of telling Sammi* to concentrate with the noise around her I adapted the environment, allowing her perform the game to her full potential. The new room bright as the sun was pouring in, making it hard to see the cards we were playing with, I got up and pulled the curtain to block out most of the sun, I sat back down to play now able to see our cards easily. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Another ergonomic factor that I take into account when playing monopoly is that everyone learns at different paces. Each time I teach someone how to play I need consider the skill level of the person so I adapt to how I teach everyone in a different way. When teaching <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>people I work with intellectual disabilities I adapt the way I teach them compared to how I would teach one of my family members that understand without difficulty. </span></div><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Affordance: </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Hagedorn (2000, p.51) describes <b><i>affordance</i></b> to be "anything which the environment can offer the individual which is pertinent to the role challenge and can facilitate role competence". </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">According to Christiansen & Townsend (2004, p. 22) "<b><i>affordances</i></b> are environmental properties that both induce and supported goal-directed behaviour". "Affords do not have to be visible, known or even desirable to affect behaviour".</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><u>Communication/Connect:</u></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Whilst playing a game of monoploy deal with Sammi* I <u>care</u> about her as<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> I want her to be able to successfully attend to her money and know how much she has a needs to be giving me. I am very <u>responsive</u> to Sammi* and her needs during the game, I am always thinking of how I will play my cards to her advantage but still wanting to challenge her at the same time. I show complete <u>respect</u> towards Sammi* during the game as I know she has difficulty when it comes the adding up money, I will never push her and respect her when she asks for help to add money. The <u>primary relationship</u> is I am the <u>teacher</u> and she is the <u>student.</u> But if she has any tips for me I am always willing to listen. There is no limitation to the <u>capacity of expression of individuality</u>. For my <u>well-being</u> it is important to me as games are a way for me to relax and have fun. </span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">I have already <u>sacrificed </u>my time and spending time with others to play this game with Sammi* and teach her new skills whilst playing. Continuing this activity will be sacrificing more of my time. I will often let Sammi* win to let her have a feeling of accomplishment. There are both verbal and nonverbal communications occurring during the game, also body language is displayed e.g. a smile for a good card. Monopoly deal is always played with someone else or in a group it is not an individual game which is something I like as I enjoy interacting with others.</span></span></div> </div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><strong><u>References:</u></strong></div></div><div style="margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-left: 30px; text-indent: -30px;">Christiansen, C.

<br />
<strong>Own definitions:</strong> a whole range of devices that enable people with disabilities to overcome the problems that they are faces with everyday.<br />
<br />
<strong>One piece of equipment introduced in the assistive technology tutorial: </strong><br />
<strong>Go Talk 20+: </strong><br />
<strong>Size- </strong>230mm x 305mm x 286mm<br />
<strong>Cost- </strong>$420<br />
<strong>Functions- </strong>The GoTalk 20+ is an ACC device which stands for augmentative and alternative communication. It is an excellent tool for augmentative communication and curriculum enrichment. It is powerful with 100 possible messages - 20 message keys each with five distinct levels. Record a total of 15 minutes of messages with great sound quality (Willison, 2009).<br />
<strong>How the Go Talk 20+ increases occupational capacity for the user?</strong><br />
During the tutorial we used the Go Talk 20+ to give one of our peers instructions on how to make and cook pancakes. It provided a step by step guide on how to achieve a successful pancake.<br />
This device gives its user visual cues by the pictures drawn on the touch pad. It increases occupational capacity by helping the user to communicate to others through using it giving them a voice to speak their mind and become more independent, lets others relay cues and messages to the user to enhance memory and reminders for everyday activities that the user may not remember to do without the reminder of the Go Talk 20+. <br />
<br />
<strong>Example of the Go Talk 20+ being used from online sources:</strong><br />

"YouTube is a popular video hosting and sharing service that was purchased by Google in 2006. <br />
The service lets users view and upload video files. In addition to hosting videos, the service lets users rate videos, add comments, and subscribe to their favorite producers" (Karch, 2011). <br />
The registration is free and it is not required to view videos, but you do need to register for some features such as uploading your own videos and commenting and rating others (Karch, 2011).<br />
You can access Youtube via other website or blog spots by not even having to go onto the actual Youtube website, it is very simple to hyperlink (Karch, 2011).<br />
You can find Youtube at <a href="http://www.youtube.com/">http://www.youtube.com/</a><br />

<strong>We were set a task to make a 30 second film and edit it on windows live movie maker. Then we had to upload it onto our blogs.<br />
There was a lot of frustration with the clips not uploading etc but we got there in the end!</strong><strong>This has been a great learning experience of video production.<br />
By using planning we were able to produce a short film quickly and efficiently.</strong><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong><span style="font-size: x-large;">Tutorial Three: Blogger Part One</span></strong><br />
<strong>During this tutorial we set up our individual blogs as hosted on Blogger.com. The tasks we were required to perform included- blog design, profile information, provide a title and description for the blog, set privacy boundaries and linked to the course blog.</strong><br />
<strong>I found this really interesting as I have never set up a blog before so it was good to learn how to do the fine tuning of blogging, for in the future when I may need to set up another blog.</strong>Hayleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09991457898476381911noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-588276297173747022.post-69321319066973630392011-03-15T20:07:00.000-07:002011-04-12T18:17:27.315-07:00Tutorial Two: Digital Imaging<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><strong>Ways that digital images are stored transferred and manipulated using information technology:</strong><br />
<u>Hardware and software I'm familiar with: </u>Memory sticks, hard drives, adobe<br />
<u>Three examples of the use of digital imaging to provide information and recording:</u><br />
<u>1. </u>Facebook: <a href="http://www.facebook.com/">http://www.facebook.com/</a>. Facebook provides users with a way of uploading there digital images for others to view and comment on.<br />
<u>2</u>. Myspace: <a href="http://www.myspace.com/">http://www.myspace.com/</a>. Myspace provides that same as facebook but they are slightly different in the way various parts of them work e.g uploading photos, different homepages etc. Facebook is also a lot newer than myspace.<br />
<u>3.</u> Youtube: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/">http://www.youtube.com/</a>. Youtube is a way of uploading videos of digital imaging for others to view for their own entertainment or information. <br />
<br />
<strong>"A new technology is rarely superior to an old one in every future"</strong><br />
<strong><u>Discuss this statement in relation to digital camera technology. The pluses and minuses digital camera technology holds in relation to more traditional film based cameras?</u></strong><br />
* Cheaper for printing<br />
*new camera's are more disposable<br />
*with new camera's you can lose the image with a press of a button<br />
*can store a lot more photo's<br />
*very simple to capture and transfer images.<br />
*dark room developing with old camera's<br />
*older camera's are manual, new camera's are manual and auto.<br />
<br />
<strong>Given the prevalence of image capturing and distribution using IT, what ethical issues may arise with their use?</strong><br />
<strong>*</strong>privacy.<br />
*ownership (the person who owns the camera owns that photo).<br />
* informed consent.<br />
<br />
<strong>Briefly discuss some of the ways that digital images could, or are, being used in occupational therapy practice:</strong><br />
*photos for use of treatment and interventions<br />
*visual changes and progress of client's<br />
*photos of events that the client might need to remember<br />
* there are videos on YouTube demonstrating what occupational therapy is all about and also one demonstrating a transfer <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yiXb1dz0KTw">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yiXb1dz0KTw</a>Hayleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09991457898476381911noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-588276297173747022.post-82873478808549211602011-03-08T18:45:00.001-08:002011-03-08T18:45:11.782-08:00family x<div style="margin: 0 0 10px 0;

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<strong><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Definition of Information Technology/ Information Communications Technology:</span></strong><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"The use of computers, telecommunication, etc in electronic processing, storing, retrieving and sending information" (Allen, 2004).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong>Definition in my words:</strong> Electronic technology that stores and sends information to other electronic devices.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong>IT in everyday life and society: </strong>People of most society's will all have some form of information technology. Mobile phones, computers, laptops, IPODS, facebook </span><a href="http://www.facebook.com/"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">http://www.facebook.com/</span></a><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">, blog sites such as blogger </span><a href="http://www.blogger.com/"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">http://www.blogger.com/</span></a><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">, flicker </span><a href="http://www.flickr.com/"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">http://www.flickr.com/</span></a><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> and tumblr </span><a href="http://www.tumblr.com/"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">http://www.tumblr.com/</span></a><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">. Youtube is a very common site used to post videos </span><a href="http://www.youtube.com/"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">http://www.youtube.com/</span></a><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It has become very common to use these various information technologies to stay in touch with others, express yourself and search different entertainment.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<strong><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Devices and systems that I feel comfortable and competent using: </span></strong><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I feel comfortable using IT but i do not feel I am completely competent using all aspects of it. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I am very familiar with the social networking site and blogging etc but when it comes to more technical sites I get confused and give up easily. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I am both comfortable and competent using mobile phones but am not when it comes to using computers as I do not feel like I know everything I should about them and there various programs.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I feel that this course and browsing around different IT devices and systems will help to expand my use of IT.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<strong><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">How is IT used in Occupational Therapy Practice?</span></strong><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">IT is used by OT's to store information and records of clients. Information technology is used for assessments, occupational performances and tools and interventions for treatment of clients. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<strong><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">What are some of the ways you can envisage IT becoming a potential tool of practise?</span></strong><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Griffiths et al (2003) as cited in Verdonch & Ryan (2008) states that Internet applications can be useful during therapy sessions or, later, as tools for enhancing functional independence.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Griffiths & Gray (2005) as cited in Verdonch & Ryan (2008) believe that computer games can be useful tools for treatment of physical, cognitive and behavioural occupational performance components.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I feel that technology is helping occupational therapy advance by using the various potential it provides. OT's can now work with clients on improving their self-care for example a client who does not have easy access to facilities due to not being able to drive or transport is an issue, there are online websites that the client can do all from the comfort of the home. There is online shopping </span><a href="http://www.thewarehouse.co.nz/red/"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">http://www.thewarehouse.co.nz/red/</span></a><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">, online supermarkets </span><a href="http://www.foodtown.co.nz/"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">http://www.foodtown.co.nz/</span></a><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> and internet banking </span><a href="http://westpac.co.nz/"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">http://westpac.co.nz/</span></a><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Leisure and socialisation via technology is made available to clients with internet site such as </span><a href="http://www.facebook.com/"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">http://www.facebook.com/</span></a><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> ( a social networking site), they can blog about their life and possibly even struggles that they are going through on </span><a href="http://www.blogger.com/home"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">http://www.blogger.com/home</span></a><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">, </span><a href="http://www.flickr.com/"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">http://www.flickr.com/</span></a><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> and various other sites. Youtube </span><a href="http://www.youtube.com/"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">http://www.youtube.com/</span></a><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> is a commonly used site which OT's could possibly use to show the client examples of tools they are wanting them to practice of even just for their own leisure providing entertainment, or casting their own videos.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There are even sites that can provide the client with opportunity for business of buying and selling eg. </span><a href="http://www.trademe.co.nz/"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">http://www.trademe.co.nz/</span></a><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> and </span><a href="http://www.ebay.com/"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">http://www.ebay.com/</span></a><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<strong><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Issues and existing around OT's adoption of IT systems and tools:</span></strong><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Occupational therapists need to use their clinical reasoning and judgment to assess the possible risks associated with each technology. The dangers on the internet are highly publicised and there is a need to be aware of these, especially when dealing with vulnerable clients. Negative affects, such as aggression and addiction , have been associated with computer gaming.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<strong><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Why I feel a great understanding and use of IT will help us in our practice and daily lives:</span></strong><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">- advancing rapidly in daily life and we need to keep up with how the world is rapidly developing from the use of technology.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">- new generations are growing up around technology and they will be the people that we are treating in the next for decades.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">- can assist with advancing and improving treatment we provide to clients.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">- if we do not have a great understanding of how to use IT we will not use it correctly and to its full potential for the client to benefit from what IT provides.</span><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">What ethical implications arise from capturing, sharing and transferring of information via IT devices (e.g. mobile phones) or systems (e.g. internet)?</span></strong><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">- the information is not completely safe when being sent from one device to another. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">- consent from others when posting photos of people other than yourself on the internet or taking pictures on your mobile phone.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">- schools need consent to post pictures and information about students on the internet, that also goes for clients we work with.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">- unless your site is locked and only certain users can access it then you need to be aware that anyone can access your information.</span><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Definition of Intellectual Property:</span></strong><br />
<div align="left"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Intellectual property (IP), is a term referring to a number of distinct types of creations of the mind for which a set of exclusive rights are recognized—and the corresponding fields of law. Under intellectual property law, owners are granted certain exclusive rights to a variety of intangible assets, such as musical, literary, and artistic works; discoveries and inventions; and words, phrases, symbols, and designs. Common types of intellectual property include copyrights, trademarks, patents, industrial design rights and trade secrets in some jurisdictions (Wikipedia, 2011).</span></div><div align="left"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I understand Intellectual property to be ownership of a persons own thoughts, creations and anything they have potentially developed themselves from their mind.</span></div><div align="left"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Relating IT and IP to OT: when an OT is documenting clinical notes into the computer or online to other MDT professionals they always date, name and if they can sign and designate their documents making it the organisation they work for, intellectual property. </span></div><div align="left"><br />
</div><div align="left"><strong><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Definition of Social Justice: </span></strong></div><div align="left"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Social justice generally refers to the idea of creating a society or institution that is based on the principles <span style="color: black;">of equality</span> and solidarity, that understands and values <span style="color: black;">human rights</span>, and that recognizes the dignity of every human being</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">My understanding of social justice is equal rights and opportunities are made for every member of a society.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Relating IT and Social justice to OT: We need to be careful as OT's to treat our clients as equal in society. When working with clients to introduce them to tools using information technology we need to understand that everyone works at different levels and treat them equally and provide them with just as much opportunity as the other clients.</span></div><div align="left"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div align="left"><strong><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Definition of Informed Consent:</span></strong><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Legal condition whereby a person can be said to have given consent based upon an appreciation and understanding of the facts and implications of an action (Wikipedia, 2011).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">My understanding of informed consent is that a person must agree to an action or information to revealed about themselves by another.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Relating IT and Informed consent to OT: As OT's we need to make sure we always gain a client's consent before proceeding with treatment and documenting their information in an information technology system.</span><br />
