Welcome!

Welcome to by Blog! I am a 2nd year Occupational Therapy Student completing a paper called Participation in Occupation. The purpose of this paper is to introduce technology as a useful and meaningful way that people can engage in occupations using technology and how this can be incorporated into therapy. I hope you enjoy my learning journey!

The Last Post!

This is the last post before the end of the semester and I thought I would share this little connect between Hamilton and Dunedin. Last year, we farewelled our daughter as she embarked on her ambition to study Law and Commerce at Otago University! There was just one problem; she also wanted to continue her dancing and the Otago Cheerleaders were no longer operating. So this year she decided to rally some support from the Dunedin community and a few weeks ago, auditions were held. The newspaper heard about it and after an article in the Otago Daily Times, 52 girls auditioned for the 15 places available......and Dunedin Cheerleaders were established!!! So how does this apply to technology? Well last weekend, Forsyth Barr staged a FlashMob at the Meridian Mall and the Dunedin Cheerleaders were invited to be apart of it (You will see the cheerleaders in the pink t shirts towards the end of the performance). This was their first outing! Less than 24 hours later it was posted on You Tube for the world to see! Good work Dunedin and Forsyth Barr! We loved watching the performance here in Hamilton. Congrats Jen on getting the cheerleaders going and good luck girls....ive seen the rehearsals on the laptop....u all look fab! Keep up the good work and hopefully you will soon be in high demand to perform at Dunedin events! For anyone reading my blog...make sure you check this out!
