Today’s daily create was a little confusing for me and Jessica to understand. I’ve only used Vimeo once or twice and that was through random Facebook Posts. After some advice from @mdvfunes on Twitter, I should interpret the assignment myself, which hopefully turns out to be successful. Basically what I need to do is watch […]

Daily Create: Monday So for today’s daily create, I snapped a pic of a rando. Yeah, that’s right. A RANDO. Let’s be honest here… When DON’T we snipe snap people? I do it all the time, which is wrong, I know. Anyways, how did i take this picture? Well… funny story. The assignment says to find […]

Well….. Well! That’s just it! Week 3 is hard to describe. I don’t feel like there was MORE work but then again, I don’t feel like there was LESS? I don’t even think it was the same amount…. what DO I think? Who knows. The Assignments were pretty simple, 3 daily creates, 3 assignment bank […]

Saturday Daily Create: Today’s daily create was great. Allowing me to give advice to other people and them being forced to listen to my audio made me feel powerful. Most people gave insightful tips but life is too serious. Everyone needs to laugh and smile and remember that things will shape up. Maybe that should […]

I guess I should have read the previous chapters of this book because I didn’t know there was a web storytelling 1.0. But, that’s not the point. What is important is my reflection on this information-loaded chapter from Bryan Alexander’s novel The New Digital Storytelling. Before I started reading, like i always do, I looked at […]

For my final Bank Assignment Assignment, I wanted to do a design. The one assignment to catch my attention was John’s. I really thought this was a great one. Everyone loves to google/look up their favorite child star actors, etc. I decided to come up with really intense backgrounds for the most important characters from […]

Yet again, it was time to choose an assignment from the Assignment Bank. Season 2, episode 1 of The Wire changed dramatically. Unlike the first season, the show takes place on the Harbor where McNulty has been reassigned. Since I haven’t watched the rest of the season, i’m not too sure where it will take us. […]

So today’s daily create was interesting, Finding a math expression/equation/whatever is probably easy for everyone, except me. Math is not my jam. I’m better at poly sci, english, or basically anything that isn’t math. So of course, one equation that was drilled in my head since I was in middle school was the simple “y=mx+b”. […]

So today’s daily create was interesting. I wasn’t aware what a Lune was so after reading the instructions, i gave it a shot. One thing I always do in the morning is put my pearl earrings on. I find them to be the one accessary to match EVERYTHING. So here’s my Lune! Enjoy!

Wow. That is the only word that is appropriate for this assignment. So I was eager to start on these assignment through the assignment bank! I always like pictures, who doesn’t? I was looking through the visual assignments and stumbled upon the word “Bae”. I was a little sad, yes. Only because I find it […]

WEEK 2: Whoa. How do I describe week 2? I thought week 2 would be a lot easier (HA!). I now understand that initial email sent from Groom and Bond about this class being real work, not a filler course. Week 2 kicked my butt. Here’s what I did! My Blog, My Problem: So when […]

Well…. Gifs….. We all know and love them, especially on Tumblr. I never thought I would be the one making them until i discovered Ds106. Yay! Well, they’re not as easy as everyone thinks. To summarize an episode of The Wire with Gifs, I chose my favorite episode which was episode 2 “The Detail”. The title […]

Okay, the goalies in soccer wear gloves, so why don’t they just use bats also? I think it  makes sense. Although, I should have included some helmets, you know, for “safety”.

Today’s Daily Create was a little more difficult than the rest because I really had to think of what I wanted to draw. I could be really simple and just do houses with domain names or really make the map work as a map. I chose to latter. Enjoy!

Alright, so for those of you who can’t read my handwriting (which should be all of you), i’ll write it out for you. Stop 1:Mulan’s House Stop 2: Army Comes For Dad Stop 3: Does Goes (which doesn’t have end tracks) Stop 4: Mulan Sneaks Out Stop 5: Goes To Family Temple Stop 6: Mulan […]

Alright, So today’s Daily Create really got my attention. I get to make my own logo… how cool?!?! So as you can obvious tell, my name is CARMELA. Yes, one L, not two. The A is probably the hardest to get because i’m a horrible artist, but it’s a baseball diamond. Baseball is my favorite […]

Setting Up So, as we all know, this week was about setting up and getting ready for the adventure that is DS106. Who knew this would be such work, considering we all use the common social media sites? It all started with actually creating the blog on WordPress. The installation …

Alright, so let’s start off with the basics. My name is Carmela Mitchell and i’m a sophomore here at UMW. As of now, i’m a solid poly sci major (just haven’t declared yet).  I love running blogs, especially my Tumblr blog. Anywho, let me embed some media for you. So …
