All week I wondered what story can I possibly tell? At first I thought why not bring all of the assignments I have worked on all semester into one story and create the story of what #ds106 means to me, but after carefully considering this all week I decided that I wanted to create something that […]

Outside of planning, advertising, and commenting on others’ ideas, I have done three presentations and written two papers — one two pages long and the other ten. Needless to say, I have not completed the entirety of this final project in this week alone. Luckily, finals week comes with the warm fuzzy feeling of an … Continue reading This Week’s Progress →

  Time to report my progress! The idea of my final project is as follows: I’m going to take the character Guts, from Berserk (a manga I’ve referenced and utilized multiple times during this semester) and chart his arc, character progression, information, etc, by creating an interactive website using free website creator wix.com. I plan … Continue reading Week 14 Summary/Progress Report

Here is a phone conversation between Buck Smith and his good friend, Jimbo, about teaming up to go to Train Man Inc. to

This week I have mostly done preliminary work for my project and plan to put together the assignments within the next week. My plan for my assignment is to create a digital story of the life of Andy the Bank Robber and his final moments before he got caught by the sheriff in Denver, Colorado, […]

As Buck investigated the letter he noticed that it was sent by the Train Man Inc. Security team to Crazy Joe Shooter that

After gathering evidence about the suspect, Buck had his gun ready as he entered the residence of Crazy Joe Shooter, expecting a full

I created this train ticket as a design to accompany the map describing my characters travels. This is one element contributing to my character’s story.

These next two weeks blend together and so far all I have posted this week is my game plan for the final project and I have commented on others ideas. I have started my project but will not post any of it until it is all together in one single post. Here’s to the rest … Continue reading Do I need one of these?

I have decided  to do an instructional website as my final project.  I will use the website itself as a media of design. I will use tutorials with video. Audio will be included in the voice over for my instruction. I will also use photography to help demonstrate tools and techniques. For this project, I […]

Here it is, the first part of the final project! So far I’ve spent this week brainstorming ideas, picking out assignments to help guide my story, and writing out the basic plot. My goal for this story is to make it interactive, and since it relates to my character, I decided to let him tell it. … Continue reading Do These, Danny Keys! →

I believe that this final project is a great way for me to showcase in one assignment the different forms of media I have learned how to use this semester. I feel throughout this course I have learned a great deal on how to utilize the values that are provided by the different forms of … Continue reading Talie’s Wild Western Adventures!

Carlee and I have decided to incorporate our characters for this project. At first we couldn’t think of anything to do but after looking at other assignments we came up with the idea to do a cross country road trip. Our road trip will of course start in Fredericksburg, where both our characters are attending … Continue reading Were going on a trip!

We’re not riding off into the sunset JUST yet. Bonnie Sue and her best friend, Agnus have some unfinished business

This week we were instructed to start thinking of our final project. This project has to include four different types of media to tell a story. I see a lot of people doing projects with their characters and a western theme, but to be honest I am over my character. Last night I was watching […]

After receiving the instructions for our final project (and getting some other final projects out of the way), I started thinking about ways to tell a good, multimedia story based around my character. At first, I had no idea where to start aside from looking through the various assignments we could draw from. Then I … Continue reading I Have an Idea! →

Throughout this entire semester my character Sally has told you her stories of the West as well as of the East. For this final project I will be telling her story of why she is now officially a Gal of the East. She loves the West and will always have fond memories of it but … Continue reading Sally: The Gal of the East

For our final project we are supposed to create a story through four different medias. I am thinking of keeping the same theme I have talked about with my character. While I probably won’t incorporate my character, I am going to write about a love story. A story about a man and woman who weren’t … Continue reading "Final Paper Progress"

For this assignment, I went back to the which ds106 character are you quiz I made for buzzfeed a few weeks ago and incorporated vastly more characters and questions. I created a spread sheet with all the characters, their descriptions for the outcomes, and their answers to the various questions. I hit a hiccup when […]

What would Merrill be interested in if he was given access to the internet? Well, I don’t know that Pinterest would be the first place he would end up, but if he did, I have created a Pinterest board that is his style. I just thought of things that he would be interested in, given […]

This week was the worst week when it came to stress and schoolwork, because professors want to have every group assignment/15 page essays

Every time that I am inclined to do so, I am amazed, or maybe appalled, at what the internet has become. Instead, in this case, of coming across tumblr or 4chan, there was a few pleasant surprises. I did not complete all the assignments that I found interesting, but I did acquire a few more […]

This assignment is to, using google translate, find something that does not translate well across languages and give some thought to it. Given the western theme of the class, I thought I might take it just a step further, and since many western saying are idioms, mix them up and see what I come out […]

The penultimate week is now over! I used the web and all of its tools this week to create our own stories, starting off with Storytelling Within the Web, where I edited the code of a webpage to change the narrative and purpose. Next, I told a story on an Amazon item for Three Moon … Continue reading Week 13 Summary

In this 2 star assignment, I had to find a website that was in a foreign language and laugh at how awful the

I really liked the change up in assignments. I have never created something like the website mash up before. I
