Constructivist like Piaget, suggest that learning and development occurwhen children interact with the environment and the people aroundthem (assimilation). Hands on learning, allows the new information experienced to becombined with the information that they already know(accommodation). Students can construct knowledge by combining the new information withthe behaviour and the skills they have previously learned. Learners are adapting to the world through assimilation andaccommodation (Atherton, 2010).http://www.digitalwish.com/prod_images/SB690_box_full.jpg 5.

Exploring the online world to expand knowledge. http://resources0.news.com.au/images/2011/02/10/1226003/732800-computer-kid.jpg 6. Student engagement in a blended learningenvironment can present itself in manyforms: Participation in online discussions and f2f. Creating evidence of learning both online and f2f. Asking meaningful questions online and f2f. Exploring the online world to expand knowledge. http://www.securedgenetworks.com/Portals/80068/images/iballz_in_the_class_large.jpg 7. There is evidence that touching behaviors can actually increase learning.(Kleinfeld) One recent investigation has shown that teachers that employedsuch behaviors as smiling, touching, and close body proximity,children tended to learn significantly more.

Social rein forcers consist of words, gestures, and facial expressions.Many students work diligently just to get a smile, pat, or a kind wordfrom the teacher.Some examples are: Verbal: OK. Wow!

Student individualization in an online learning environmentcan be attained through: Peer and instructor interaction and guidance throughcollaborate and/or skype. Finding online tools and information that enhancelearning style. One to one online help with the instructor throughskype 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 learningstyle One on one physical presence guidance withinstructor 13. Wall-EWall-E Movie Clip 14. Our Conclusions and Questions Learning takes place very similarly in both the online and blendedenvironments. Where the two diverge and differ is the absence of physicalpresence and touch. What could this mean for learning at the different age groups foronline learning? 15. Does physical contact affect online andblended 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
