A number of the assessment tasks will ask you to write a blog, or upload your assessment task (eg. video or audio file) to your blog.<br \/>\nYou will also share your thoughts with the class by tweeting your blog posts out to your fellow students. So in short &#8211; you need a blog and a twitter account and you need to link them together.\n<\/p>\n<p><b>Create a blog, or refresh an existing blog if you already have one<\/b>\n<\/p>\n<p>If you need help getting started here are some resources to help.

Twitter is our preferred platform for a number of reasons. As the subject progresses you will be able to converse with the teaching team and your peers by using the hashtag #UOWUNGGD. The hashtag allows to you filter and find tweets on a similar topic. Additionally, modern diplomats and UN and other organisational officials use twitter actively to promote their activities and link to key documents.Having a Twitter account will allow you to access these.\n<\/p>\n<p><i><b>Instructions<\/b><\/i>\n<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li> Firstly, got to twitter.com and set yourself up an account.\n<\/li>\n<li> When choosing a Twitter handle (your name), try to choose something short and sharp.\n<\/li>\n<li> If you are worried about anonymity, use your student login, and delete it after the class.\n<\/li>\n<li> Need help setting up your Twitter account?
