    Making Toast- And other Creative Adventures

    by
    Creativity is an illusive idea, most commonly it is thought of as something that you have or you don’t.  However, as humans, we all have the inate ability to learn and conceive, remember and imagine.  These qualities all make up a creative mind, it’s simply a matter of perspective. After watching two incredible Ted Talks … Continue reading Making Toast- And other Creative Adventures

    CARP in design

    by
    If you’ve ever done a presentation you have been exposed to the principles of CARP-Contrast, Alignment, Repetition and Proximity.  These keep whatever you are presenting organized and easy to read. Contrast- relative size or color to convey meaning or importance Alignment- keeping text, corners or grids on the same plane Repetition- keeping a predicable layout … Continue reading CARP in design

    What’s up 2

    by
    My second hot topic I from my personal facebook.  I have to say, I find it REALLY creepy that I always have ads for things I have done or previously purchased.  I know that there is something to do with “cookies” and search history- but I swear sometimes facebook reads my mind! Anyway, I chose this Google … Continue reading What’s up 2

I wanted to … Continue reading What’s Up 1

    Final Reflection

    by
    First of all, may I start with the fact that it is Sunday night and I am filled with a plethora of emotions!  My boyfriend was SUPPOSED to be home tonight, he travels for work.  He had a plane scheduled and then had to cancel it for what looks like AT LEAST 2 more weeks […]

    Week 7 Story Critique and Article Choice

    by
    This week my chosen article and Digital Story are one in the same.  I came across an article titled “How the LGBT community is using digital storytelling to amplify activism and chronicle its history.” The article discusses the struggles of legalization of Gay Rights and the support that is needed to get there.  Of course, […]

    Week 7 Readings

    by
    This week we were given two articles to read.  The first is titled “White Privilege: Unpacking the Invisible Knapsack” I was really interested in this, I mean the title is obviously written to attract some attention.  Once I started reading into it, I couldn’t stop.  I normally read and annotate at the same time, but […]

    by

    I created an app…. wait what?

    by
    I created an app.  I wish it was as easy as that sentence made it sound.  It was tough, and even harder to “publish” it.  Which didn’t happen.  So I am putting a link in that will give you 24 hour access to the app in “beta” mode. Here is the app I created and I […]

    Week 6 Reading and Story Critique

    by
    This week’s reading was a little wordy, it took my a while to get through.  I had to walk away a couple times.  That’s not to say I didn’t connect with it, but that I actually really wanted to understand it, and needed to process. I am a very slow reader, always have been.  I […]

    Week 6 Assignment

    by
    This week we got to choose our own assignment, the only requirement was it had to do with our focus.  I surfed around a bit, it was fun just looking at all the assignments that we were able to do.  I ended up landing on the “I like to Move it Move it!” assignment. You […]

    Week 5 Story Critique

    by
    This week I finally got to use a story that I have been waiting to watch.  I found this a couple weeks ago but felt the title did not fit in with the theme, so I waited. The story I chose was entitled: “The Meaning of My Life” This turned out to be a very […]

    Week 5- Reading and Article Choice

    by
    This week’s reading was titled: Jenkins (2008) Afterword: Communities of Readers, Clusters of Practices The reading discussed the concept of teachers getting their hand figuratively dirty, and diving into technology.  Bringing best practices into technology use, and changing the idea of DIY to DIO- Do it OURselves!  This hit home for me.  I am OBSESSED with […]

    Week 5 Assignment-Mashup!

    by
    This week’s assignment was a “mashup” of some sort.  I actually didn’t feel like any of them called out to me.  I chose the Character Mashup because I felt it went well with the idea of using characters or shows that our students already enjoy to help us teach. The example was of Ron Swanson from […]

    Week 4 Story Critique

    by
    Ok, so I found this article that I am really excited about.  Technically it is an article about digital story telling, and not so much a story.  But, I chose to use it because it ties in SO well with my theme-so bear with me. The article is titled A Reflection: Trials of Using Digital […]

    Week 4 Reading Response and Chosen Article

    by
    This week’s reading was on blogs and the “ongoing ethnography of blogging.”  In other words, the study of human races and cultures within blogs. This reading was interesting, and well placed I may add (good choice Remi), as we have been blogging for a month now.  We have seen other blogs, read our peers blogs […]

    Week 4 Design Assignment: CAT THEME

    by
    Happy 4th of July Weekend! Not sure about anyone else but I know I have lost track of what day it is, even though my summer camp JUST ended. This week I chose to make a magazine cover as seen HERE on twitter! So, I know, what DOES this have to do with my focus. […]

    Reflection Week 3

    by
    This week was a hectic one for me.  I am running a summer camp and we are about to finish up our last week.  Not to mention my little brother graduated high school on Friday this week, so I was in rural Upstate New York for the weekend.  This means little to no internet, spotty […]

    Story Critique Week 3

    by
    For this story I took my inspiration from something Remi commented, “there’s nothing preventing you from creating anything in Spanish.” After I graduated high school I chose to do a gap year in Mexico.  I loved Spanish and longed to be fluent, so I knew the best course of action would be to go live […]
