Welcome friends of Space Hub Tutorial B!
Welcome friends
of Space Hub Tutorial B!
THIS is
your blog site. On this page, you will be
posting , over the next 5 weeks (Week 3, PLUS
2 more like Week 4 or 5 or 6 or 7 or 8) your blog posts for
BA1002. You will need to post a
total of three
blog posts during this time, beginning week 3,
by midnight
Monday Week 4. ALL students MUST submit their first blog post by midnight Monday Week
4 (August 19th). You MUST engage in
your peer network AND comment on someone else's blog, even on the week you do
not post. BUT,
be respectful and polite. Copy and paste your full blog portfolio to a Word
document and submit it on LearnJCU (in
the assessment tab) by midnight Tuesday, Week 9.
We will be
giving non-personalised feedback
in class for the first blog, so that you
have formative feedback to help you with your subsequent blogs. After
that, you'll blog AT LEAST 2
more times, but hopefully, every week by midnight of the Monday
following, collating three of
your blog posts into a large document that we call the "Blog Portfolio"
for submission via LearnJCU . In
the blog portfolio, you will include your first blog plus two other blogs (3
total). This gives you some leeway to choose your strongest blogs.
What do you include?
Remember the magic
number 6 in this class. You will need 6 elements in the blog. A
list of these can be found on the BA1002 LibGuide Exemplar and
in your Subject Outline.
Remember to include a picture

Your blog posts should be around
500 words. They
are designed to keep you accountable to your readings. You need
to reference (using APA format) at least one of the assigned weekly
readings, like Foucault's extended metaphor of Bentham's panopticon to think
about surveillance culture in the online world (Turkle, 1995, p.248). Use its
ideas to frame your own or to bounce your own ideas off. It's great to use
the scholarly readings for precise definitions, for example, of power, or
networked narratives, or to introduce scholarly concepts that inform your post. Don't
forget to reference the weekly lecture, too (Kuttainen, 2015).
Check out the Tutorial Guide in
your weekly Subject Materials folder for Blog Prompt Questions. Choose ONE of
these questions to help you frame your response using the week’s lecture, key concept
and set reading( s)
to think about how they inform something you observe about the virtual social
network which you are considering for this class. The blogs are
therefore also designed to prompt you to apply the academic concepts
to observations about everyday life.
They are excellent practice at
writing and referencing as
well . While you can use an informal tone, you need to ensure you are
writing in a grammatical and precise way. Have fun, though; tick the boxes
of what you HAVE to do, but feel
free to be creative within the bounds of this assignment to explore
what you CAN do. Have fun and happy blogging!
Cheers
Jonathan
