There have been times in the last few weeks where I needed to record the audio of conversations that were taking place via Google Hangouts. This isn’t a frequent or even common task but the nature of my research requires me to record interviews. Some of those interviews are taking place via video conference. Considering..

How can we create (anything) if we are not connected? DS106 asks this question right away in the way the students of the course spend the opening weeks connecting to the content, the faculty, and each other. It isn’t an outright question but rather one of an assumed response; you can’t. We need to be connected..

Last May I joined the DS106 crowd as a fun way to develop myself professionally and join a talented group of people doing amazing work. I wrote that I needed to do this like a hole in the head and here we are a few month later and I am standing here with a drill..

Not wanting to miss out on the remix fun from last week, I took a little time today and remixed Camp MacGuffin’s Week 10 update into some breakfast. I trolled through the DS106 Remix Generator and found a lot of the assignments fascinating. The notion here is that DS106ers can submit a Daily Create and now can..

The appeal of Internet Radio is unexpected. I previously hosted a podcast and blog about the doctoral process, so the..

Meanwhile back in Camp Magic MacGuffin we are working on video projects and editing. I was eager to try out the Send a Camp Movie to Camp project after speaking with Alan during our radio programs. As it turns out the Buffalo, NY was the shooting location for a movie titled The Burning and the movie..

This week’s audio projects include a nice audio letter home about the week’s activity. I hope you enjoy this little recap.

You’ll have to check out this week’s audio letter home coming on Sunday to find out why I’ve been away from camp so long. I did manage to make it back for another audio week in which my bunkhouse is engaged in creating a string of stories along a topic – ala This American Life...

I always liked the idea of someone being at the very edge of things and sending back a postcard. I’m never sure if it is because they want others to join them, wish they were back home, or just excited to see how the world barrels over the edge into a pool of oblivion. None..
