Well it’s onto looking forward from here on out. Looking at the video assignment bank I certainly did find some things that really interest me, and know what two assignments I want to do. The first one is going to be challenging, but I think that I am up for the challenge. It’s creating an (continue reading...)

Only doing two daily creates this week? Best week ever!! Well, looking back I just was unmotivated by this week’s daily creates. Picking my favorite gift that I have given or received was pretty hard since I am really bad at picking favorites. The Easter Bunny got me a beach badge for this summer which (continue reading...)

While looking at the google doc of all of the different YouTube genre‘s thought of by past students I couldn’t help but laugh at the “Unintentional Hilarity” genre because that is so true. It’s pretty much the modern day America’s Funniest Home Videos always at your access. I find myself constantly getting sent to different (continue reading...)

If anyone knows me they know that I cannot stand reading. I have never been able to be truly captivated by a book, there are times when I wish I could, but it just never seems to happen. I get bored way too easily and I fall asleep and then it’s just all lost from (continue reading...)

Yeah, I said it. While I may be a rare kind of lefty, I still consider myself to be one. I write with my left hand, but all sports are done with my right hand or foot (which was good since I had four injuries on my left side of my body this past volleyball (continue reading...)

This week was very intertwined like a spider web (get it??) We had Web Assignments and I loved some parts and hated other things. It was definitely all mixed up together. For starters though we had to reflect on last week before moving onto this week. I really enjoyed making and especially listening to all (continue reading...)

So I went a bit crazy and told my story in one of the daily creates that we could do about another daily create. Confused yet? Yeah I am too. So let me show you what I did. Personally, I would start out with this daily create which required us to write about a subject being (continue reading...)

I know it’s not the most clever of titles for what we had to do.  This week we had to come up with images that we haven’t used or even audio or video clips and recycle them. It’s a cool concept, but it was supposed to be the easy task to do and I didn’t (continue reading...)

So this week’s assignment that I put off for as long as possible was the ds106 blog comment narrative. I’m not sure why I was so hesitant to do this, maybe it’s because I already have a character through this blog that the energy behind making another one was too overwhelming. So for today I (continue reading...)

Okay, so “beach season” is defined a bit differently for a Jersey girl like myself. I am not just any Jersey girl, but I am a beach volleyball Jersey girl. I pick bathing suits based off of what ones won’t move when I dive for a volleyball and I go to the beach with a (continue reading...)

While looking through various web assignments, I found myself somewhat uninspired. So I took a day off from the digital storytelling world (mainly because I had way too many other things going on) and decided to check back another time. Suddenly I realized that I missed this three star assignment which calls for creating a (continue reading...)

This week has been very stressful already and it’s only Tuesday! My sister is getting married and her bachelorette party is this weekend, so I am trying to get everything done before the weekend so I can just relax and not have to worry about homework, but we will see how that goes. Last night (continue reading...)

This may just be my favorite assignment yet! Anyone who knows me knows that I am not someone who picks favorites easily. Ever since I was little and someone asked me what my favorite part of vacation was or my favorite part of school, I simply responded with “everything”. I still do it to this (continue reading...)

Yes, it is that time of year. March Madness is here! I am a sports girl, always have been always will be. But my love for sports really is at the college level. I’m not sure what it is, but most of these kids are playing because they love the sport, and not for the (continue reading...)

If you haven’t picked up on this already by now you probably are completely oblivious (no offense). I talk a lot. There is nothing that I love more than hearing the sound of my own voice, which is why I think that blogging is so much fun, because I just get to ramble. Well it (continue reading...)

While working on our radio show throughout the past few weeks I found myself needing to make an advertisement that has to deal with our radio show. Since we were really focusing on the hardships behind the group project I decided to do an advertisement for something that would help with the tensions that may (continue reading...)

A whole clan of daily creates was due for these past two weeks. There certainly were plenty of opportunities to create different things, and ironically it all started with the word “create”. To start off my two weeks worth of daily creates I ended up picked the first thing was to spell create with materials (continue reading...)

I am such a music girl, never a talking girl. Maybe because I just like the hear the sound of my own voice rather than others, but who knows. Long story short, I have never been one who listened to the radio that much. However, I ended up really enjoying the whole process of creating (continue reading...)

Welcome back!! Sure I am saying this more to myself than anyone else. But who would have thought that I would miss just rambling to myself via the Internet. Maybe blogging really is for me… Anyway, I have returned from my adventurous Spring Break where I went back to the palace to see the King (continue reading...)

It’s math time!!! I know you all have been dying for some good math times, I certainly know I have. Curious as to where I got this amazing title from? Simply check out this great song and you’ll understand. I took the 2 star assignment of The Contest Nobody Could Win a bit too literal (continue reading...)

So welcome to my tutorial for this amazing assignment on how I made my musical tag. Since the story of the project was really long I decided to break it up, so you can read the story part over here. For starters the first thing you need to do is plan plan plan plan! Planning (continue reading...)

Yes, that’s right. It is Sara Bareilles time! For those of you who may not know (which is probably most), my favorite singer has been and probably always will be Sara. Yeah, I love her so much I like to think that we are on a first name basis. What makes her even better is (continue reading...)

There was a lot of Disney this week, mainly because I had so much freedom to do anything I wanted with Design week. I really really enjoyed this week, it seems that each week I like this class more than the week before! This week I embarked on a magical journey about trying to find (continue reading...)

It’s daily create time!!! Once again, I found myself lacking the time to write up a blog post about the daily creates during the day, but I did have the opportunity to do them throughout the week, so that is good! So here is a collection of daily creates that I have completed during the (continue reading...)

Design Safari, a set on Flickr. During this week I found myself going on a safari for different designs throughout my apartment. I thought about it for a while and different aspects of design and was surprised at what I found. I knew that I wanted to include the picture of names on the wall (continue reading...)

For my final design assignment for the week I decided to do the two star assignment that has you create an icon to describe yourself. As the picture they had Mickey Mouse’s ears, which made me a little sad because I wanted to do Minnie with a tiara (I just love her). So I decided (continue reading...)

Looking at different design assignments, I came across a two star challenge that just seemed to be screaming my name! The assignment calls for making a word come to life using just font, spacing, and size. I was up for the task and knew exactly what word I wanted to do and what I wanted (continue reading...)

Magic is some pretty serious stuff. I mean just imagine the responsibility of having magic, what qualifies as something that needs it, who would you use it on, how would it change you? All of that power can really go to someone’s head and it can either make you evil or good, we see it (continue reading...)

As per usual, another post is being dedicated to Cinderella. What can I say? She’s my favorite. So it was only natural that when I had the opportunity to create a movie poster in the most simplistic manner, I chose to do Cinderella’s cover. Just out of curiosity, I decided to search what some Cinderella (continue reading...)

How many times have we said that sentence before, we are talking about a movie and want to reference it but can’t remember the title!!! Maybe we know an actor or two, but other than that we pretty much are left to Goolge-ing random things or trying to trace IMDB actors to the desired film. (continue reading...)
