For today’s daily create we had to create and invention for Wile E. Coyote. I thought why not do an exploding birthday cake seeing as it is my sister’s birthday tomorrow (I had cake on the mind). Wile E. Coyote can act like he is giving someone a nice gift the BAM you are covered in […]

This week we did an abrupt switch from audio to video. There are a lot of thing in common though with audio and video which made the week easier. I started off the week by first doing daily creates. I did the daily create on 1/22 where you had to use etch-a-sketch to make a dailycreate. […]

My last big assignment of the week was to do a video essay. As you can tell- I was really putting this off. I consider myself… well not very tech savvy and I knew creating this video essay would be challenging. I decided to go with the movie No Room to Die. It was a […]

For my last dailycreate of the week we had to make some form of bike art. I really had no idea what to do for this. The first thing that came to mind was little kid coloring books. So I googled “bike coloring page,” saved the image I liked and uploaded it into paint. Once in paint […]

For my last video assignment of the week I completed Play it Backward, Jack. It is worth 3 stars to finish me out at 10 1/2 stars this week. This assignment tells you to take a normal activity, but play the video backwards. For this I decided to use my cat, Snowball. I recorded him coming […]

Continuing on with my video assignments for the week, I selected to do It’s Vacation Time. It is worth 3 1/2 stars to bring my total up to 7 1/2 stars thus far. This assignment tells you to make a video of your favorite vacation. Last month I studied abroad with UMW in the Galapagos Islands, […]

This week we had to do 10 stars of video assignments with at least 4 being of our character. This assignment called what do you do? instructs you to make a video clip (no longer than 8 seconds) of a specific thing you do on a daily basis. It is worth 4 stars. After like an hour […]

For this week we had to select from several video assignment bank options. I decided to go with My Favorite thing. This assignment bank post tells you to take a short video of yourself doing your favorite hobby then explain the hobby in a blog post. One of my favorite hobbies is snowboarding. This is a […]

For today’s daily create we had to use an online version of etch-a-sketch called itch-a-sketch and create DS106 in it. This took me like 4 times to even become legible. I thought I was a lot better at using this thing, but I guess not anymore. I think it turned out pretty ugly, but this was my […]

I cannot believe we are about to start week 10… this semester is flying by so fast. This week was based around a lot of reflection. Last week was our radio show week so this week was backing off just a little bit in the intensity of work. For starters, I did 3 daily creates […]

For my last daily create of the week we had to make a tombstone for the legendary cemetery in Tombstone, Arizona. What I did was googled a picture of a “blank tombstone” then uploaded it to paint to add the text. The first thing that came to life is RIP my social life when I go to […]

Tonight I tuned in to listen to not only my radio show WWW News, but also to the show You Might be a Cowboy if… First off, I now know I am not a cowboy/girl and second this group did a great job! Their radio show started off great with funny jokes right off the […]

For my last assignment bank post of the week, worth 3 1/2 stars, I selected to do welcome to paradise. This assignment instructs you to write simply about your dream location.

This week we have to do 10 stars worth of assignments not only dealing with our character, but another person’s character as well. I have to say, if I had known we were going to be using our characters so heavily this semester, I would have spent a couple days working on my character to […]

For today’s daily create we had to look around, find a hidden face and take a picture of it. For this, I simply just walked around my house and tried to look at objects differently. My fridge stood out to me. It looks like it has two eyes, a nose, and mouth. I simply just took the […]

Today’s daily create instructed you to make a campaign sign telling viewers to make more daily creates. I have no idea why, but the first thing that came to mind is the Chick-fil-a slogan “eat more chicken.” So what I did was upload this slogan pic into paint, strikes out the words and added my own. I […]

Hey everyone! We at World Wide Western news finally finished our radio show! Tune in to here about all the news in your local western town here.

Tomorrow is the day that our radio show is due…. This project was difficult to do see as it is an online class and you are not meeting with your group, but I think we are going to make it work. This week we first started off by making a dropbox for all of our […]

For today’s daily create we had to make a sign for our ranch! In order to come up with a name for our ranch we used random farm/ranch name generator. When I used the generator it gave me the name “Applewood Ranch.” After getting the name I went on google and typed in apple ranch to get the background […]

For today’s dailycreate we had to write up a short tweet story about a picture of a cowboy standing in snow. It is difficult to write a story on twitter with limited characters. When looking at the picture I was thinking “hmm maybe his horse took a wrong turn” and I rolled with that idea. I am […]

This week was the start of our DS106 radio! It was stressful at first to get into groups for the radio show, but I love my group. Everyone is working really hard which makes me happy and I think we have some great ideas for our upcoming radio show. You can see my post from […]

For my last assignment bank post of the week I did a 4 1/2 star assignment. This brought me to 11 stars total for the week with 8 of those stars dedicated to my character. For this assignment called your theme song we had to create our theme song, but I created I theme song for […]

For today’s daily create we had to go on this website called Soundtransit and create our own soundtransit trip. This consisted of selecting cities and layovers. I selected to go from Washington D.C to San Salvador with 2 layover that consisted of New York and Berlin. This was easy to do and then I took screen shot of my […]

For today’s daily create we had to take a selfie at 1:06. I did this by first setting an alarm on my phone for 1:05PM so that I didn’t miss 1:06PM. Then I took a selfie with my iPhone next to my microwave with the time. Super easy. You only get to see half my face because […]
