Thoughts on Class Theme
Using a theme of legend, myth and folklore is different and something that I’m not quite used to. My first thoughts when I saw that we would be using his theme, I pictured a medieval time setting and questioned how I could possibly use this to convey my work. However, after researching a little more … -

First Week Summary
This week went pretty well. I felt like it was a lot to set up but nothing too complicated. I created new social media accounts for this class and here are my introductions. I read through all of the instructions, and I found the links very helpful to use and just followed the steps. I … Continue reading First Week Summary -
Weekly Summary-Week 1
Hello! This is my first weekly summary so I’m not sure what it should be like exactly. This class is a lot different than any other I’ve taken so I am both excited and nervous for it! I had to create a subdomain for this class and for some reason I can never remember how to do that! So it took me a bit but then I figured it out. Sound cloud was harder than I thought because after setting up an account, I wanted to just record straight on there, but I could not find a record button, for some reason my screen wasn’t matching any “how to record on sound cloud” videos I watched for help. This is my intro’s These are my thoughts for week one Below are my daily create’s this week: This is the happy birthday song as if it was text speak This is my daily create of a super hero or action figure. I live on campus and do not have any, so the best I could do is the Sammy the Eagles that my club is giving away today at First Friday. I turned his bandana around so that it looks like a cape! This is him landing to save the day. -

Week 1 Summary
Well….this week has been quite the week! The start up for this class wasn’t all that bad. It was very simple and easy to create all the different accounts. It did get hard when it came to connecting these to the full D106 class website. I did many look overs to make sure I completed … Continue reading "Week 1 Summary" -
Thoughts on the Theme
I like some aspects of this theme like the fairy tales and the myths, but I am not sure about the rest and how to incorporate them into posts. When I think of the theme, I mainly think of Grimms’ fairytales and Disney movies. I also think about Greek mythology. The theme is not really … Continue reading Thoughts on the Theme -
Thoughts on Myth/Folklore Theme
This type of theme will be very interesting to study for this class. Yes, many different myth-based stories share the same reasoning on why to tell it. They all are an over exaggeration of the truth about humans/animals/world/etc. During this course, we will be able to differentiate and compare between the past with these themes … Continue reading "Thoughts on Myth/Folklore Theme" -

Weekly Summary-Week 1-The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly
The first week of school is always a toss-up. Sometimes, classes take it easy, and the first class or two is just syllabus reading and introductory information. In other classes, teachers jump right in, sometimes even having a quiz the next class! For DS106, I would say that it’s a mix of the two, there […] -
Theme thoughts
So this theme… I like it and don’t like it. I love fairy tales and legends all that comes with them, but folklore and urban… -

So…here are the links to either my first or one of my first posts on some of the social media we’re using. Check them out!… -
Weekly Summary
This week wasn’t so hard. The biggest problem I had was trying to upload the media to the introduction blog post. The Instagram post gave me the hardest time, but with an email to the professor, I realized that your Instagram has to be set on public for the link to work right (duh). I … -
A Magical Theme
Honestly, I believe this is a great theme to assign this class because I think everyone can relate at least a small part of their lives or even their childhoods on it. Everyone knows the stories of Cinderella or even the wicked witch of the west. Individually, each person can go far and in many … -
All the Introductions
Hi guys, this whole blogging thing isn’t my absolute favorite. I had to use domain of one’s own once before and I didn’t like it then either. These are all my intros, so if you watch or listen to one, they’re all relatively the same. What is up DS people! #ds106 — Suzanne Catlin (@suzzcat) … -
Weekly Summary: Week One
The first week of classes is always an interesting one, filled with more chaos then expected while adjusting to new classes and routine. I learned that I’ll really need to focus on time-management this semester, especially to keep up with the fast-moving nature of a course like this! Most of my time for the class … Continue reading Weekly Summary: Week One -
A Semester of Legends
Personally, I’m very excited for the theme of ds106 to be focused on myths, legends, and folklore this semester. I’ve always enjoyed stories that involve some sort of fantasy or suspension of belief over ones that are more realistic. I think there is a certain joy to be found in being taken out of reality, … Continue reading A Semester of Legends -
Weekly Summary
It is the end of week one. This week was not too stressful, I think because we were setting up our platforms of communication, and I already had accounts in all of the platforms. It was not hard setting up a subdomain for this class, because I had another class during the summer where I … Continue reading Weekly Summary -
Week 1
This is HARD. I am not a tech savvy person. It took my hours just to create all the sights, but mainly the domain thing. Then when I went to the Digital Knowledge Center they had to have multiple people working on connecting the sights to my domain. But we FINALLY got it working after … -
The Legendary DS106
Legendary. Personally, when I think of legendary, I tend to think of stories such as urban legends and myths. I think of stories that I have been told by my parents but have also been told through different cultures and generations. My parents are Peruvian and so, I grew up hearing a lot of foreign … Continue reading The Legendary DS106 -

Legends and Myths
Hello! I have been a fan of reading greek mythologies since a child and I love fairy tales. To clarify, I enjoy fairy tales that are more mystical/fantastic than princess ones, for example The Rainbow Goblins is one of my favorites(I will probably use it for something)! Also my favorite film is Spirited Away … -
Social Media Extravaganza
Hello fellow Digital Storytelling students and welcome to my various social media accounts! I’m Jessica, a senior with a double major in Math and Computer Science. And while I have experience in coding, it was more difficult than I imagined getting all of these set up, as I don’t have much experience with social media. … Continue reading Social Media Extravaganza -
Summary & Reflections (8/27-8/31)
What a week! I thought that this class would be easy since it’s a 100 level class… but ignored the fact that technology hates me. Setting up my social media accounts was much more challenging than I thought it would be. I had NO idea how to work soundcloud, slack, or a domain. It took … -
Weekly Summary
I hate Instagram. Is a desktop app really necessary? Really? And I couldn’t even get it to work, I had to use my phone. Making a post was a HUGE PAIN. That was what I learned and what frustrated me this week. My social media rage aside, I also learned how to set up a…

My Feelings on the Theme
This semester we will be using the theme of “legend, myth, and folklore.” This theme makes me a bit nervous since I’m not big on these sorts of things. I think an interesting direction to take this theme might be adding our own twist. If we used existing folklore and added our own twist to …
