I also posted a writeup where I discuss the items in my bag and what they say about me. For Task 7, I have redesigned Task 1 and changed its semiotic mode. As The New London Group (1996) suggests, redesigning does not merely entail \u201ca simple reproduction\u201d (p. 76). Rather, redesigning involves remaking, reconstructing, and renegotiating (The New London Group, 1996). Thus, the product I have created for Task 7 puts a new spin on my submission for Task 1, and I have also changed the semiotic mode of this assignment. My creation for Task 7 is composed of both audio and linguistic elements, as they are defined by The New London Group.<\/p>\n<audio class=\"wp-audio-shortcode\" id=\"audio-100-1\" preload=\"none\" style=\"width: 100%;\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"audio\/mpeg\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/alannacarmichael540\/files\/2020\/06\/ETEC-540-Task-7-Mode-Bending-Carmichael.mp3?_=1\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/alannacarmichael540\/files\/2020\/06\/ETEC-540-Task-7-Mode-Bending-Carmichael.mp3\">https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/alannacarmichael540\/files\/2020\/06\/ETEC-540-Task-7-Mode-Bending-Carmichael.mp3<\/a><\/audio>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>My production for Task 7 is intended to capture a \u201cday in the life\u201d of a TTOC. The audio recording includes both my voice and various sound effects, and there are several instances in my recording where I am heard \u201cusing\u201d the items in my bag. I retrieved some of the sound-effects royalty-free from YouTube, whereas others I created myself. While I am heard speaking in my audio clip, I am never speaking directly \u201cto\u201d the audience. Instead, the audience acts as a fly on the wall, listening in on the goings on of my day. Of course, all of my recordings for this Task were captured from the comfort of my own home rather than from an actual school building.<\/p>\n<p>It is also worth noting that since COVID-19 took the world by storm, my typical day as a TTOC has drastically changed. My recording no longer accurately depicts \u201ca day in the life\u201d of a TTOC, as the landscape of education, and thus the job of a TTOC, has changed dramatically in just a few short months. Despite these changes, my recording is based on TTOC life pre-COVID; I am not sure exactly what the job will entail come September. I hope to enter into a teaching contract for next year, so, if all goes according to plan, I will not experience the new trials and tribulations of the life of a TTOC post-COVID-19.<\/p>\n<p>References<\/p>\n<p>MickfromShik3.
