Linking Assignment 4 \u2013 Task 7: Mode Bending<\/u><\/strong><\/h3>\n

I decided to do a linking assignment on Rania\u2019s mode bending task because I felt a connection when I listened to her audio clip.<\/p>\n

Task 1: Rania’s Bag<\/p>\n

Task 1: Melody\u2019s Bag<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

After I listened to Rania\u2019s audio clip, I looked into her bag from task 1.\u00a0 In her audio clip, Rania mentions that you can\u2019t really know a person from the outside of the bag and that this can be misleading.\u00a0 In order to identify who a person is such as their personality or interests, one must look inside the bag at the items.\u00a0 Our dark colored functional bag shows that we are often on the move and therefore carry items that are essential.\u00a0 This is true as we are both teachers and live in Vancouver.\u00a0 Other items we have in common are a wallet, cream, pen, cell phone, car keys, and an emergency bar to eat.\u00a0 A person looking at our items can say that a personality trait is being practical since we carry emergency bars to eat, we have hand creams, and we prepare for different types of weather.<\/p>\n

Rania mentions that the items in your bag can tell who you are and I am going to add to this that it can also show smaller specific groups that you belong to within your community.\u00a0 For my post, I used a playlist consisting of brand names for the items in my bag.\u00a0 Just the type of cell you have can communicate if you\u2019re an Apple person or Microsoft. Items can also share specific items you like such as the brand of hand cream you use.<\/p>\n

This task was quite open ended and led to various forms of creativity and individuality.\u00a0 From the New London Group\u2019s idea on multiliteracies, I think this is an area that is still evolving.\u00a0 Classrooms in the past relied heavily on traditional ways of teaching and output is usually in the form of a paper.\u00a0 Technology opened a new dialogue of communicating, learning, and options for the final product (video, audio, emoji, text).\u00a0 Unlike hand stamping which was time consuming, labour intensive, and output was minimal, technology opened up multiple forms of communication where each of us can be authors.<\/p>\n

I found Rania\u2019s website easy to use as she was using UBC\u2019s WordPress.\u00a0 I am still a novice in creating a website and therefore find it helpful that some of my colleagues were using the same UBC WordPress as I was.\u00a0 I like looking at the different ways people customized the architecture of their WordPress site.\u00a0 Rania had her recent posts and comments at the right bar which was the same as mine.\u00a0 The additional home and sample page were slightly changed from mine in that they had a black background which made the heading show up more clearly.<\/p>\n
