    For Taffy

    by
    This week I viewed a video on Story Center called “Taffy.” The author, Shedrick Wicks tells a story of love and companionship. After moving to Denver, Wicks found himself to be lonely and ended up adopting a cat named Taffy. The story is endearing and the viewer can’t help but root for the duo. I … Continue reading "For Taffy"

    Story Board

    by
    There is a strong possibility I am behind on the creation of my digital story, but I have just now settled on a focus. I know, I know, I’ve had weeks to figure this out. I’ve truly been struggling with my chosen theme and had a bit of an epiphany last week. My true focus … Continue reading "Story Board"

    My True Theme and How To “Do” Storytelling

    by
    Every week I’ve been grappling with my theme for this course. I settled on learning photography, which has been a lot of fun, but hasn’t created meaning for me. I tend to be over analytical with connotations. I dissect language, I tear apart novels, and I examine how communication in all forms affects my understanding … Continue reading "My True Theme and How To “Do” Storytelling"

    Transliteracy- not just web 2.0

    by
    This week, I found an article about transliteracy and the application of digital storytelling. Suzana Sukovic defines transliteracy as, “The ability to read, write and interact across a range of platforms, tools and media from signing and orality through handwriting, print, TV, radio and film, to digital social networks.” The idea of transliteracy directly relates … Continue reading "Transliteracy- not just web 2.0"

    by
    So…Marvel has an exciting app where you can create your own superhero. Select your body, hair, eyes, and even your accessories! Check out my superhero Sagitta.

    A Road Traveled

    This week we read a chapter from Digital Storytelling: Capturing Lives, Creating Community by Joe Lambert. Lambert is the founder of StoryCenter, and organization that I have deeply respected while exploring digital storytelling this semester.

    Instinct

    by
    This week I watched another Blank on Blank episode with an interview by Jane Goodall. The story was apropos to what I’ve been feeling lately about literacy and integrating a new approach for future success of my students. Jane describes how she followed her instincts to pursue a life involved in nature. Her journey was … Continue reading "Instinct"

    Social Learning

    by
    My learning this semester has really branched into two areas. On one hand, I have been learning about photography for my own interests to incorporate into my final project. On the other, my headlong dive into this class has taken on a world of its own in my thought process. After reading this week’s article, … Continue reading "Social Learning"

    Story Review: Blogging in the Classroom

    by
    As educators strive to incorporate technology in the classroom, many teachers are blogging and are having students interact on their own blogs. As I’ve ruminated previously, giving students a space to record and reflect on their learning can have a huge impact. Elizabeth Guerra questions whether blogging is having a positive impact in the classroom, … Continue reading "Story Review: Blogging in the Classroom"

    Make it Old!

    by
    Today’s Daily Create encouraged snapping a photo and using this site to make it old! The site is in Japanese, it was fun to use my intuition to figure out how to use it without a translator. #tdc1726

    Illusions

    by
    I am drawn to animated storytelling. This is my third found narrative where animation is paired with an interview. This week I watched a Blank on Blank episode entitled “Joni Michell on Illusions”. Joni describes her desire to represent herself the same way she represented her music. She wanted to be ordinary. Her goal was … Continue reading "Illusions"

    Remix Your Mindset

    by
    Is the act of creating greater than the creation itself? Music Remix in the Classroom opens the reader up to a culture where music creation, and remixing of another artist’s work, is an expression of appreciation, nostalgia, and a rejection of the status quo of ownership. Remixing music spans genres and can be as simple … Continue reading "Remix Your Mindset"

    An Inspiring Q&A

    by
    Storycenter.org strives to “preserve and share humanity’s stories” through multiple modalities. After reading an article about the importance of teaching children to be aware of a global “us” rather than a foreign “them”, Story Center was the perfect landing spot to discover how moving a digital story can be. There are stories about loss, love, … Continue reading "An Inspiring Q&A"

That is another post for another time. This week, I grabbed a #VisualAssignment from ds106 that requested one make their own Game of Thrones … Continue reading "House Padlun"
