Who Let The Dogs Out?

My blog title/song title will make sense once you are done reading this blog post, trust me!

For my first web assignment, I chose to do the What they might have done in social media {***} one. When I was looking through the Web Assignment Bank, this one was the first one to spark my interest.

Because I’m a psychology major, it seems appropriate to chose Ivan Pavlov to create social media pages for. If you don’t already know, Pavlov is famous for classical conditioning. He found out that dogs can be classically conditioned to salivate when they hear a bell by simply teaching them that the sound of a bell means food is coming.

Here is his Fakebook:

And here is his Twister:

I had a lot of fun creating these pages and finding the right “friends” to go on Pavlov’s Fakebook. These are neat websites that I will definitely use in my classroom when I am a teacher. Students could use these websites to create Fakebooks and Twisters for historical figures and I can assess their knowledge by reading these fake pages. I love when I can connect DS106 work to my future classroom!

Now does it make sense that my blog title is the song, Who Let The Dogs Out – Baha Men?? :)
