    ESTP Wanted Poster – Assignment Bank – Week 7

    by
    For this week’s DS106 Assignment Bank assignment, I chose to create a Wanted Poster in the style of the Wild, Wild, West. My chosen story theme is the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI). Each MBTI type has their own strengths and weaknesses. I chose the Robinhood (ESTP) character because he is a thief, but with good intentions. A classic ESTP, Robinhood is…

    ESFP Word Cloud – Assignment Bank – Week 6

    by
      This week’s assignment was to use a site like http://www.wordle.net/create or similar to create a word cloud. The chosen text should be meaningful to me, so I used my chosen storytelling theme – the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI). More specifically, the characteristics of an ESFP.

    Finding Who? – Design Assignment Bank – Week 5

    by
    This week’s mashup assignment was to take elements from multiple movie posters and mash them up into one. Change anything – the caption, the title, the main image, etc. Also, make it seem like it could be a real movie.

    Guess the Word

    by
    This week’s assignment from the Assignment Bank was to create a video of someone signing (finger spelling) a word for others to guess. I thought it would be interesting to see if anyone could figure out the word I chose to spell. To create this video, I used an iPhone 6 to record the video and edited it with iMovie.…

    Police Call – Stolen Car!

    by
    My Assignment Bank audio assignment was to make an audio of me talking to the police over the phone.

I had my father play the part of the police officer and…

    For this critique, I used Jason Ohler’s assessment traits. I focused three traits: Story Project planning Originality, voice, creativity I evaluated the story and the writing of the story. How well did the story work? Is it is complete and understandable? I looked at the level of project planning. Is there evidence of solid planning – story maps, scripts, storyboards? Finally, I focused on…

    A Drop in the Bucket List

    by
    Everyone has a bucket list, or they should. I would share my entire list with you, but for the moment, here are my top four. Have a proper English Tea at the London Ritz. Whenever I travel, either for work or pleasure, I try to go to tea at least once. If there is a Ritz in town, that is…

    Three Ways to Happiness

    by
    My first Daily Create for ds106 is a collage of things that make me happy. I was extatic to discover that you can now add Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life to your Netflix list and it will show up when it becomes available. I can hardly wait! I feel a Gilmore Girls marathon coming on! I recently had…
