- Assessment 1 Exercise: Blog posts
As a teacher in today's secondary schools, you will be required to create tasks for students that involve digital technologies where students communicate in ways they know or are familiar with. This also provides students with an opportunity to write for an authentic audience. One of the purposes of this assessment task is for you to gain practice using a blog as a learning tool. For this assessment task, you will create your own blog account (use WordPress.com or Medium.com or Blogger.com) and write four blog posts in response to the questions below. You will need to draw on the readings and resources in the learning topics and wider research to support your discussion or posts.
Word Count: 2000 - 2500 Words. This includes all text (headings, in-text citations, captions and direct quotes). It excludes the Reference List.
Use the readings in the learning topics and wider research to write four (4) Blog posts in response to the following
Four (4) questions:
* What are some of the literacy and numeracy demands of the 21st-century?
* Effective teachers understand how students learn. What is culturally responsive literacy and numeracy teaching? How can teachers use students' 'funds of knowledge' to teach literacy and numeracy in a particular subject?
* What are the Literacy and Numeracy Capabilities in the Australian Curriculum and what does this mean for teaching in subjects other than English and Mathematics?
* What is disciplinary literacy and numeracy? Choose a subject other than English or Mathematics and describe the subject-specific literacies and numeracies used in that discipline/subject area? Alternatively, you can discuss the literacies in the subject Mathematics and the numeracies in the subject of English.
Other Details:
* Give each blog post an appropriate title
* Support your ideas with academic sources using APA 6th edition referencing
* Graphics can be used to support the blog posts
* It is Curtin policy that all written assessment tasks be submitted to Blackboard through Turnitin. You will need to copy all the text from the four blog posts onto a word document and provide either a reference list for each blog or one reference list for the four blog posts and submit your document at the Assessment 1submission point in Blackboard.
* It is important that you provide the link to your Blog site and any relevant password at the top of your word document, as your blogs will need to be viewed in the digital domain as well for assessment.
What you will submit:
* One MS Word document with all the text from your four (4) blog posts (no need to include the graphics as these will be assessed in the digital domain)
* One APA (6) reference list at the end of the document or one APA (6) reference list after each blog.
You will be assessed on the following:
* Ability to identify literacy and numeracy demands of the 21st century
