    Iā€™m both excited for and a bit overwhelmed for this entire project. My main element is video, supplemented by audio and visual, as well as web storytelling. Media Forms Iā€™ve decided for sure that Iā€™ll be making a series of videos as my primary element. In addition, Iā€™ll be making a poster or slideshow of [ā€¦]

    Last week I wrote about some of my ideas for projects going forward and my thoughts about storytelling and the final project in general. In this post, Iā€™ll be considering themes and ideas that others have discussed and expanding on my ideas from the previous post. Itā€™s going to be a long post, so buckle [ā€¦]

    Iā€™m amazed that weā€™re already more than halfway through the semester. Looking back, weā€™ve covered so much ground, and Iā€™ve learned so much in terms of digital creation just in these last couple of months. Thinking ahead, weā€™ve got a few weeks in which weā€™ll be exploring video, remixes/mashups, and a final project. One idea [ā€¦]

    Although I havenā€™t ever really thought about becoming a graphic designer, and I donā€™t think thatā€™s whatā€™s in store for me in the future, thinking about visual design and reading and watching this weekā€™s assigned material was quite fascinating for me. The first couple things I checked out were the videos ā€œMovie Poster Expert Explains [ā€¦]

    Everyone, gather ā€™round! Itā€™s time for you to hear the story of the legendary jukebox hero. This story was born before I began ds106, but when I saw the Audio Bank assignment ā€œCreate a story using musicā€, I knew the world deserved to hear the tale. The assignment had only two sentences of description: ā€œCreate [ā€¦]

    Even better than a football blitz. Photoblitz is an activity where you take photos of seven things within 20 minutes. This was my list of seven items: Smooth, rough, dirty, or wrinkled. Make a photo of hands that tell a story. Theyā€™re all around. Make a photograph of a wheel near you. Make a portrait [ā€¦]

    Iā€™ve never lived without having pets before; I couldnā€™t imagine life without them. Sugar, Shadow, and Stormy all mean so much to me, so when I saw the assignment ā€œYour love for your petā€, I couldnā€™t help but pick it as one of my assignments for the week. Hereā€™s the description: Make a collage out [ā€¦]

    When you mix a favorite fandom with a love for world and character building, what do you get? A bit of daydreaming of domestic fluff that can result in creating grocery lists and post-it notes. Iā€™m a fan of Marvel movies, and I find it fun to imagine what the Avengers are like outside of [ā€¦]

    In the summer of 2019, before I started my first year of college, my family took a trip out west to California for 2 weeks. We had never gone on any vacation like this before, and it was absolutely amazing. This was why, when I saw the assignment ā€œStory Mapā€, I knew I had to [ā€¦]

    Like many, many, many other people, I have a bucket list. I donā€™t usually think about it as a bucket list, though. I tend to think of it as things Iā€™d like to do or try someday.

    2001. What went on that year? Well, I was born. The Ravens won their first Super Bowl ever. Those are a couple fairly important things, in my opinion. However, other than that, there were several words added to the Merriam-Webster dictionary. Letā€™s set the record straight: it was the year the words ack, auto-suggest, blade [ā€¦]

Sure, she has a few erasable highlighters, but those almost always sit in the pencil bag and are only used on special occasions. Iā€™m an all day, every day kind of pen, baby! She [ā€¦]

    As I was browsing through the assignment bank, the ā€œCreate your own roomā€ web assignment caught my eye. Maybe it was because of the house-creation online games I used to play as a kid, or perhaps because for quite some time now, Iā€™ve had a Pinterest board for cool home-and-bedroom-related ideas (many of them far [ā€¦]
