During the last few weeks I’ve been concentrating on some computer games development courses that I run. The courses will shortly be coming to an end, so many of the students have nearly completed their games. I will post more of these online as soon as they’re finished.
While …
I hear excuses all the time from my own students. My laptop broke, I lost my pen drive, my little brother flushed my homework down the toilet. These past few weeks I have been neglecting DS106 and I also let down @nossa_familia, with whom I was meant to …
Guess the movie…
Incidentally the poster was made with Adobe Illustrator. The bullets were made with the 3D revolve tool.
This week I played around with Audacity and tried making an audio story from an assortment of sound clips from freesound.org, soundbible.com and soundzabound.
This was a fairly tough assignment for me as I don’t work much with sound, apart from doing some basic editing. I ended up …
I’m enjoying DS106 so far, although I still don’t see where it’s going (I’ll bitch about this in my audio post for DS106 Radio).
The assignments have actually been quite enjoyable, probably because they’re small and manageable, but also highly creative.
I’ve particularly enjoyed the Dailyshoot, though some of the …
I’ve seen lots of creative work from other DS106 participants over the past two weeks – mainly through the Dailyshoot assignment, but also by following the tags in the blog.
I liked Sophia’s Five Card Flickr Story – I thought it was very poetic.
I love Frank Fitzpatrick’s DS106 image…

I received an e-mail from a stranger, asking for my assistance. It led me to a …

As someone who teaches ‘Web’and has been online since 1995 I’ve seen most of the major developments in the Web and the Internet, from the drab days of Netscape grey and Compuserve through to ‘the world according to Google’. I’ve always had a a pretty strong idea of what I …
The Learning Without Frontiers conference was held in London last week. One of the key speakers was Professor Stephen Heppell, who said “Education is the cartel that will be broken by people and technology next”.
This caused quite a stir. It was tweeted and retweeted, blogged and texted. It …
My first attempt at Tom Woodward’s video assignment – taking a still image and animating it using camera motions. I feel that the effect of the camera motions adds a greater sense of narrative to the photograph. It effectively creates a series of events that occur one after the other, …
Okay, so only self-hosted WordPress blogs can use plugins. It took me a while to find this out – so hopefully anyone else having trouble will read this and stop trying.
I do have an unused WordPress Blog on my own domain, however now that I’ve started with this one …
Part of this weeks DS106 assignment is to set up web hosting and get a domain. I’m planning to use the host/domain I’ve had for many years, but I now feel I need to start some early spring cleaning and tidy up my existing site, especially as I only …
My Dad works at Mediaspace at Carnegie College.
He is a photographer and he likes doing animations for his class.
He plays games with me on the Wii and reads stories most nights before bed. We are reading the BFG just now.
He was at London recently with Adobe to …
An audiovisual installation at the Serpentine Gallery in London, part of Parenno’s first solo exhibition in the UK. Interesting use of locational sound with speakers placed behind the screen so that sounds actually come from the direction of the on-screen objects.
Some of the work I found interesting, but some …
I watched Singin’ In The Rain this week after recording it during the Christmas break.
I think I first saw the movie years a go as a kid, because I remember the bit where Cosmo Brown (Donald O’Connor) performs “Make ‘em Laugh” and runs up the wall before flipping backwards …
Our tutor on DS106 has prompted us to suggest assignments related to Digital Storytelling that everyone can undertake. Wow, I didn’t expect to be writing the assignments as well as completing them, but hey at least you get to learn what you want!
My suggestion, posted under the Fan Fiction …
On Monday 10th January the Digital Storytelling MOOC (Massively Open Online Course) begins.
