<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="apple-style-span"><span style="color: black; line-height: 115%;">I</span></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;">n choir there are a number of different types of songs. Each different song creates different </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;">emotions and</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;">feelings or '</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;">atmospheres' as a result of different tempo, pitch, style and instruments involved. These factors along with the physical movements of the choir create the emotion or ambient feeling for all those involved. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;">One song we sing is called Bay-ye-te. This song begins with just one member of our choir singing, with no instruments. The rest of the choir joins in harmonizing with her after her first repetition, the song then builds in force through the powerful voice and actions of the choir. The feeling this song creates is very special, it alters the atmosphere in any venue or situation. </span></span><br />

I was standing in the front row with the rest of the sopranos, waiting for the conductors signal. There were people from all over the world gathered under one tent. When the soloist began singing, you could feel the change in the room. We had sung this song many times before but because of the people who were here and what the choir represented, this time it felt different. We were a choir made up of people also from many different cultures and nations and we were singing a song from a different nation to all of us. I’m proud to be apart of the choir, I feel a part of something bigger and am sad because I remember that the conductor, the soloist and my friend who is standing next to me are all leaving choir. I think this is another reason this song is so special as it is the last time we will all sing together. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There are a number of practical considerations for our choir. Some of them are the following:</span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-left: 36pt; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm; text-indent: -18pt;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';"> -</span></span><span style="color: black;">As there are a large number of us we need a large space to practice</span></span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-left: 36pt; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm; text-indent: -18pt;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';"> -</span></span><span style="color: black;">As we practice at night we need somewhere with lighting</span></span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-left: 36pt; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm; text-indent: -18pt;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';"> -</span></span><span style="color: black;">As we practice all year round we need somewhere protected from the winter weather</span></span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-left: 36pt; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm; text-indent: -18pt;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';"> -</span></span><span style="color: black;">As there are older members we need somewhere that affords us the opportunity to sit down throughout the night</span></span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-left: 36pt; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm; text-indent: -18pt;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';"> -</span></span><span style="color: black;">As we have soloists, it is helpful that we have microphones so that we can hear them above the sound of the choir while we practice.</span></span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-left: 36pt; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm; text-indent: -18pt;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';"> -</span></span><span style="color: black;">As we are a Hamilton based choir it would be an easier location for most to reach if where we practice is near the centre of Hamilton.</span></span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm;"><span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">All of these considerations are met by the church we practice in. Grace Way Church is kind enough to allow us to practice in their building free of charge. the building is warm, dry and well lit. The main room has plenty of space for our whole choir to fit. This is the room where Grace Way holds there service every Sunday morning. This room has a full sound system which includes a switchboard, speakers, microphones and an over-head projector which we use to display our words. One of the choir member’s husbands knows how to operate this set up and joins us each week to do so. </span></span><br />

</span></div><div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: black;">In this post, I am going to focus on communication as it is a very large area of affordance and in my next post, I will touch on the other six areas.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: black;">There are many different types of relationships and because of this, many different ways of communication. Within the choir, I have different types of communication with people depending on the situation and person. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: black;">The communication from the choirmaster is predominantly one-way, from her to me (and the rest of the choir, the soloist, and the band). She directs everyone, it is her role to bring all the parts together and make us work as one. As we are learning a new song, her communication varies between verbal and non-verbal, however during a performance her communication is non-verbal. She will use a selection of gestures, to communicate how the performance is to be carried out. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: black;">Another type of communication is between other choir members and me. Before and after practice and during breaks I’ll will talk with many different members, catching up on how there weeks have been and what’s going on with them. During practice, there is limited verbal communication as it would detract from the practice and distract other members. As Anna-Maree and I both know the alphabet in New Zealand sign language, we will often sign to each as other sections are learning there parts. This is a slow, but effective way of communicating. </span></span></div><div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: black;">When we perform, there is one sided communication between the audience and me. Through the songs I sing with the choir, we tell a story about our faith and our God to those listening. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />

This basically means that ergonomics are the things that 'make it work', the small things that ensure the ability to be able to begin and continue with an activity are modified and maintained.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #f3f3f3; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> <u1:p></u1:p> </span><br />

These teams must work together logistically to learn their different parts of the same songs to achieve the desired outcome. The first team is the sopranos, who are situated in the front row and sing the highest vocal notes. Second in position and voice requirements are the altos, they are situated in the second row and often sing the melody. Behind them are the tenors who stand in the back row, these vocalists sing the lower mid range notes. Finally the bass who stand in the back row with the tenors and sing the lowest vocal chords. By standing in these groups singers are able to hear the other members in their sections which aids them in singing the right part on-que and in-tune. During the once a week practice, the different groups often practice in different rooms as to focus wholly on their required pieces. Each of the practice rooms are equipped with all the tools and items we require to effectively practice. We also have matching uniforms for performances. All the points mentioned in this blog such as; where we stand, how we practice, what parts are sung, along with how we dress are all ergonomic concerns. </span><o:p></o:p></span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #f3f3f3; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><u1:p></u1:p> </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #2a2a2a; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">What is the difference between work and labour? "Work is the activity which corresponds to the unnaturalness of human existence" (Arendt, 1958, p.7) whilst "Labour is the activity which corresponds to the biological process of the human body" (Arendt, 1958, p.7). </span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-line-height-alt: 11.55pt;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #2a2a2a;">I am a member of the Hamilton Gospel Choir. This commitment falls under Ardent's 1958 definition of an act of 'work' as my involvement a personal choice, does not fulfill the physiological needs defined by Maslow's Hierarchy and is not a normal or required part of the natural biological process (Benson,& Dundis, 2003; Arendt, 1958). In joining this group I become a performer, a worshiper of God, a soprano and a singer. As a member of this choir I am a part of a new family and community that I previously was not. Although this cannot be defined as labour because there is no real physical need for me to belong to this choir, I feel it joins me to a community that helps me in taking time out and relaxing from my other commitments such as study </span><span style="color: black;">(Arendt, 1958)</span><span style="color: yellow;">.</span><span style="color: #2a2a2a;"> Personally this is an important part of keeping a healthy balance in my life. If I did not do this activity I would no longer feel a part of the choir community, I would lose my connections and links with the choir family. Spiritually I would lose an opportunity to worship and connect with God; which is important to me. I would also lose another piece of my weekly choir tradition; having dinner with Anna-Maree prior to choir every week.

We have all picked a occupation that we are already doing and then break it into smaller parts. I have chosen to focus on my participation in the Hamilton Community Gospel Choir. I will be looking at it through ergonomics, affordances, ambiance and practical considerations. </span><br />

</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>As I sing as part of the choir I realise with this song I no longer have to think about to words I'm singing or the notes for my part. This is a song that as a choir we have sung many times before and has now become automatic. Not having to think about the notes or the words leaves my mind free to focus on other things. I think about how I'm standing, do I have a good enough stance to be able to get the best sound? No probably not, I'll widen my stance just slightly, a subtle difference that others may not notice but I can feel the difference it makes. How about my breathing? Am I breathing with my chest or diaphragm? Diaphragm, good, another thing that is becoming automatic and requires less and less thought. </i></span></div></div>Erinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04399036037490651137noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2852740517727829993.post-89203780583051420912011-04-12T18:16:00.000-07:002011-05-15T03:54:10.965-07:00How may we assist you?<div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 20px;"></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This week we looked at assistive technology. I chose to look at two different switches and a PowerLink 2 which help people use those switches. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 24px;">“The goal of assistive technology is to compensate for absent or impaired abilities and enable occupational performance” <w:sdt citation="t" id="1285246">(Mary, 2008, p. 511)</w:sdt> I think this is saying that assistive technologies allow people to engage in occupations that, without it, they would not have been able to do. </span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">A switch will allow a student to activate equipment that without this assistive device they would not have been able to use <w:sdt citation="t" id="16994070">(Schoonover, Argabrite Grove, & Swinth, 2010)</w:sdt>. With the aid of the PowerLink 2 <w:sdt citation="t" id="3543520">(PowerLink 2 control unit)</w:sdt> appliances be turned on and off with a single switch. Students may not be able to reach over and operate a switch on an appliance however if a switch, such as the Jelly Bean Switch <w:sdt citation="t" id="3543521">(Jelly bean twist)</w:sdt> is placed in a way that they can click it then they can operate the device that they could not have before. The two switches I have selected both have slightly different features which mean they are better suited to people with different abilities <w:sdt citation="t" id="16994071">(Mary, 2008)</w:sdt>. The standard Jelly Bean Twist <w:sdt citation="t" id="3543518">(Jelly bean twist)</w:sdt> has a 64mm application surface, which if you apply 56.7gms of pressure, anywhere on this surface, will be activated. This switch is made of durable, high impact ABS <w:sdt citation="t" id="3543519">(Jelly bean twist)</w:sdt>. The pillow switch<w:sdt citation="t" id="10503470"> (Pillow Switch)</w:sdt> is similar to the Jelly Bean switch <w:sdt citation="t" id="10503471">(Jelly bean twist)</w:sdt> however, it is much softer and can be used, as mentioned above, by a student’s head or face. Its activating pressure is higher than the Jelly Bean Switch, at 180gms, its plug size is the same, both using a 3.5 mm mono plug which means they could be plugged into the same socket of the PowerLink 2 <w:sdt citation="t" id="10503472">(PowerLink 2 control unit)</w:sdt>. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">The PowerLink 2 control unit <w:sdt citation="t" id="3543506">(PowerLink 2 control unit)</w:sdt> device allows access to most plug-in electrical appliances, or devices, with a single switch, which is great for students who otherwise may not be able to control them <w:sdt citation="t" id="16994073">(Schoonover, Argabrite Grove, & Swinth, 2010)</w:sdt>. One of its features is that there are four modes of control on the PowerLink 2 <w:sdt citation="t" id="3543509">(PowerLink 2 control unit)</w:sdt>. First up is the Direct Mode <w:sdt citation="t" id="3543510">(PowerLink 2 control unit)</w:sdt>, while the switch is activated the appliance will stay on. Secondly is the Timed Seconds Mode <w:sdt citation="t" id="3543511">(PowerLink 2 control unit)</w:sdt>. Whoever is working with the client is able to set an amount of time between one to sixty seconds, once the switch has been activated the appliance will run for that set amount of time. Thirdly is the timed minutes mode <w:sdt citation="t" id="3543512">(PowerLink 2 control unit)</w:sdt>, this has the same idea as the timed Seconds mode <w:sdt citation="t" id="3543513">(PowerLink 2 control unit)</w:sdt>, however this one runs between one to sixty minutes. Lastly is the Latch Mode <w:sdt citation="t" id="3543514">(PowerLink 2 control unit)</w:sdt>, one activation of the switch will turn the appliance on, the second activation will turn the appliance off. These last three are particularly good for students who are not able to hold down the switch. The other features of this device are that it can be used with most plug-in appliances and it has a remote receiver which means it can be used with a cordless switch, should the need for one arise in the future. For all three pieces of equipment, there are no reported ethical considerations. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><br />

I think chronic poverty makes people take unwise risks & it's heartbreaking that others take advantage of their desperation. Human trafficking as a global trade (which unfortunately it is) has fed off our obsession with acquisition, whether cheap food, clothes, employees or sex. We are a society of consumers that need to feed our own selfish greed. At the very minimum, we (as consumers) need to be aware of where our purchases come from. Are we prepared to put others before our own selfish desires??</span><span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 9.0pt; mso-line-height-alt: 10.5pt;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br />

But for example, in New Zealand, there are only a handful of equitable shops where you can buy fair trade clothes and often they're not even that cool. It would be awesome if we had more morally conscious options available, but at the same time, would we really shop at them if it meant we had to curb our spending or not look quite as trendy........?? I completely agree. Human trafficking is selfish acquisition. It centres on demand for self-gratification whether that is material possessions or sex. Nevertheless, it is one thing to SAY that we'll live unselfishly and another to do it... I love Joel Houstens quote where he says "it's time for a revolution.. fuelled by a dissatisfaction with self-centred living and complacent faith.. driven by a desire for truth, love and justice.. " But what does that actually mean and how does it affect us as individuals? How does it affect the wider scope of human trafficking?</span><span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Having the on-line community rather than a geographical one allows people from all over the world to share ideas and thoughts, which is important, as the issue discussed on the community is a global issue. </span><span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br />

Put simply their purpose is to encourage a mindset in people whereby meeting the needs of the community is a part of daily life. </span><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"> </span><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">With this purpose in mind, Streetworks runs two major events per year and a number of smaller projects aimed at exposing the volunteers who attend them to different needs in the community. To follow this up, they look to provide further opportunities for engagement with the community for those individuals or groups who are passionate about turning this type of activity into a lifestyle. Streetworks looks to support and facilitate peoples’ ideas on how to get involved in the community rather than prescribe set way of doing things.<br />
<br />
Over the last three years, Streetworks has run six major events, each attended by around 180 volunteers. These events consist of about 20 different projects around the city being completed over the course of one day.</span><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"> </span><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><br />
<br />
Examples of projects include:<br />
• Chopping and delivering firewood<br />
• Building sandpits in the homes of financially struggling families<br />
• Cooking and freezing emergency meals for community centres to disperse<br />
• Baking and visiting rest homes and hospitals<br />
• Painting murals<br />
• Cleaning houses and gardens<br />
• Planting fruit trees and vege gardens<br />
• Family Fun Days</span><span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">The purpose of the community website is to promote awareness of Streetworks and their events. </span><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"> </span><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Anyone can ask to be a friend of streetworks and most, if not all are accepted.

Having the online community is very important for the group. It helps the members of the community stay connected to the group between the six-month gaps between big events. It allows the main organisers another median to share their message and ask for help when needed. It is a place for members who may have meet at the events to get in touch with each other. It also allows a place for people to talk and discuss events, a place where they can share their feels on the event, share their response.</span><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"> </span><span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br />

This week in class our challenge, if we chose to accept it, was to make a 30 second video clip about a letter of the alphabet. We chose to accept and here is our result. <br />

To make this clip we started with a list of all the actions we could think of that started with 'c', one of our team members was also had a bunny rabbit she was nursing with her so we thought we should try and include it. Once we had a decent list we used a story board, we used a fairly basic story board but if you want to make a proper story board here is a YouTube video teaching you <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=65_3bq_0eSY">how to story board</a> <sdt citation="t" id="1960145704"><span style="mso-no-proof: yes;">(Howcast, 2009)</span></sdt>. Once our story board was done it was time to begin filming. We used a tri-pod and tape video camera to do our filming outside one of our classes. Once the filming was done it was back to class to edit. After uploading the footage to the computer we used a editing program to select the good shots and to cut out the bad ones. We also cut some of the footage that was too long so that we were able to get it down into the 30sec time frame. Once we had the shots right we added music and there you have it, one 30 second alphabet video.<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333;"> Digital Images in OT</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333;"> On my last placement Digital Imaging was used by the staff to take photos of other staff performing assessments so that other new staff to the team can learn how to carry out theses assessments.</span></span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 9.5pt;"> </span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 9.5pt;"><br />
Digital Imaging is often used with clients to capture where their abilities are at the start of the placement, so as to be able to compare it with the end of the placement.<br />
<br />
When using images in practice the practitioner needs to be diligent with what happens to the photographs, photos these days photos are easy to copy, so the practitioner needs to ensure that the photos are stored somewhere that others can not make copies with out consent. They also need to make sure that photos are delete from the camera once they are stored somewhere safe so that others using the camera don’t see them as others may not have consent to see the photos .<o:p></o:p></span><br />

I will look at the prevalence of technology in our society and how common place it has become. I will take a look at if I am a ‘technophobe’ or a ‘techno-geek’. I will look at technologies place in Occupational Therapy. Ethical implication will also be taken into account regarding capturing, sharing and transferring information.

(also known as Information Communications Technology) from the website <a href="http://searchdatacenter.techtarget.com/definition/IT"><span style="color: #0034cc; text-decoration: none;">search data centre</span></a> <sdt citation="t" id="-230157605">(Search data center, 2000)</sdt>:</span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><br />
</span><span style="color: #2a2a2a; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">IT (information technology) is a term that encompasses all forms of technology used to create, store, exchange, and use information in its various forms (business data, voice conversations, still images, motion pictures, multimedia presentations, and other forms, including those not yet conceived). It's a convenient term for including both telephony and computer technology in the same word. It is the technology that is driving what has often been called "the information revolution." </span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 12.75pt; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #2a2a2a; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 17px;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">I think this definition shows how broad a term I.T. is. It covers all types of technology that can be used for recording, storing and sharing information. </span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 12.75pt; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #2a2a2a; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 17px;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Current ways of life are surrounded by I.T., and it has become extremely common place. Within my society IT is extremely prevalent. As I am a student, Google and other such Information finding sites are a constant companion. YouTube is another website often used to get information; it is a form of technology allowing people from all around the world to share information with the rest of the world. <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pxMct9RJ1WU"><span style="color: #0034cc; text-decoration: none;">Two Japanese Students shared YouTube clip</span></a> <sdt citation="t" id="1150025899">(ratgragon01, 2007)</sdt> showing how common place cell phones, another form of I.T., are in Japanese society.</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 12.75pt; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #2a2a2a; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 17px;"><span style="color: #2a2a2a; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Personally I feel that I am somewhere in-between ‘techno-geek’ and ‘technophobe’, but possibly leaning more to the ‘techno-geek’ side of things. I have an android cell phone, an iPod and a laptop, all of which I am reasonably competent with, however I feel that I could be using them more effectively than I currently am. I particularly feel this with my cell phone as its new I am not very good with reading instruction manuals which can often limit my use of IT.</span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #2a2a2a; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 17px;"><span style="color: #2a2a2a; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">TV, internet, cell phones and many other technology items are becoming everyday meaningful occupations for occupational therapy clients<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white;">.

When talking about information technology and Occupational Therapy there are a number of potential ethical issues. Clients maybe filmed or photo graphed to show evidence of progress (or lack of) later on in the clients treatment. Although this purpose is a legitimate one the client must be informed of this before the recording happens, they must also sign a consent form. Once the recoding is taken it must be stored in the manner that the client and the therapist agreed to and only used for the purpose agreed upon as well. </span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 12.75pt; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #2a2a2a; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 17px;"><span style="color: #2a2a2a; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><a href="http://www.techterms.com/definition/intellectualproperty"><span style="color: #0034cc; text-decoration: none;">Intellectual Property</span></a> – Intellectual property refers to the ownership of intangible and non-physical goods.

In relation to Occupational Therapy we could consider the different Theories we base some of our teaching principles on. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Knowls adult learning</b> Theory is often applied when teaching adults and is taught to Occupational Therapy Students. When used and written up in a report the Therapist must reference and/or quote Knowls when his Theory has been applied. </span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 12.75pt; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #2a2a2a; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 17px;"><span style="color: #2a2a2a; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><a href="http://www.businessdictionary.com/definition/social-justice.html"><span style="color: #0034cc; text-decoration: none;">Social Justice</span></a> – "Fair and proper administration of laws conforming to the natural law that all persons, irrespective of ethnic origin, gender, possessions, race, religion, etc., are to be treated equally and without prejudice.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">This blog was created for one of my papers in my second year of my Occupational Therapy Degree. In this paper we are looking at the meaningful occupations are technology and exploring the use of technology in therapy sessions.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">A Good definition of Occupational Therapy come from the <a href="http://www.wfot.org/">World Federation of Occupational Therapy</a>:</span><br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;"><span style="color: #666666;">Occupational therapy is a client-centred health profession concerned with promoting health and well being through occupation. The primary goal of occupational therapy is to enable people to participate in the activities of everyday life. Occupational therapists achieve this outcome by working with people and communities to enhance their ability to engage in the occupations they want to, need to, or are expected to do, or by modifying the occupation or the environment to better support their occupational</span> engagement.</span></span><br />
