4. Constructivist like Piaget, suggest that learning and
development occur when children interact with the environment and
the people around them (assimilation). Hands on learning, allows
the new information experienced to be combined with the information
that they already know (accommodation). Students can construct
knowledge by combining the new information with the behaviour and
the skills they have previously learned. Learners are adapting to
the world through assimilation and accommodation (Atherton, 2010).

7. There is evidence that touching behaviors can actually
increase learning. (Kleinfeld) One recent investigation has shown
that teachers that employed such behaviors as smiling, touching,
and close body proximity, children tended to learn significantly
more. (Kleinfeld)

8. Resources for a blended learning environmentcome in many
forms: Guided access to resource. Access to resources from anywhere
in the world. Access to resources at any time of the day. Peer to
peer sharing of resources. Access to open text books.

10. Social rein forcers consist of words, gestures, and facial
expressions. Many students work diligently just to get a smile,
pat, or a kind word from the teacher. Some examples are: Verbal:
OK. Wow! Excellent. Nice going. Exactly. Right. Thank you. I like
that. Would you share that? Nonverbal: Smiles, winks, eye contact,
nods, thumbs up, touches, pats. walk beside, stand near, shake
hands.
11. Student individualization in an online learning
environmentcan be attained through: Peer and instructor interaction
and guidance through collaborate and/or skype. Finding online tools
and information that enhance learning style. One to one online help
with the instructor through skype and other interactive
medium.
12. Student individualization in a blended learningenvironment
can be attained through: Peer and instructor small group
interaction Finding online and concrete tools to enhance learning
style One on one physical presence guidance with instructor

14. Our Conclusions and Questions Learning takes place very
similarly in both the online and blended environments. Where the
two diverge and differ is the absence of physical presence and
touch. What could this mean for learning at the different age
groups for online learning?
15. Does physical contact affect online and blended learning
environments?https://mail-attachment.googleusercontent.com/attachment/u/0/?ui=2&ik=a92fedc209&view=att&th=13af1c77be7f8d00&attid=0.1&disp=inline&safe=1&zw&saduie=AG9B_P_4QDVOgp3QYus_maThe7ii&sadet=1352693271303&sads=_zgivlbi9a1gt2LvsBNbd2PjVDc
