Week 1 was full of surprises. This class has already been keeping me busy. Thankfully I had most of the accounts already created and I had been comfortable using them. Apparently, I thought I didn’t have a sound cloud account until I opened the page and began to set up an account. I then realized
Hello All! Happy Sunday. Welcome to my blog. My name is Danielle Erika Beard. I like to go by Danielle or Danielle Erika (hence why all my social media accounts say Danielle Erika). I am thrilled to be in this course and to develop these skills. I took DGST 101 this past summer and I
Jim Groom, a guru of both ds106 and the 80s, took some time to talk about the course with me. I have an edited version above, and the full discussion is at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PQ53L-lecUU I’m hoping it gives some ideas on … Continue reading →

This week has been surprisingly an excellent week. I had time to gradually work on assignments and perfect them in the way that I wished them to be. I gave myself time to dwell on what I wanted my project to be on and not be on. I also learned how to relax my body
1. Iteration: For this assignment I chose to work on is Module 2. AKA the Digital Culture project. When I did this initially I had signed up for my own channel but hadn’t looked into anything further. So I did some research on how to promote and develop your own YouTube channel. You can read
Good evening everyone and thank you for reading my blog today. I wanted to provide an update as to where I am in the final week of our class. Today our professor asked us to accomplish a few things this week so I began with the smaller tasks. These tasks are listed below: The final

Hello all and Good evening. For this week I chose “Text Analysis” to work on for the Digital Methodology Modules project. Also referred to as Module 3. I cannot believe we are already on Module 3! I loved doing this module. For a few reasons, I love to read, I love word maps, and I
Hello all and happy Monday! I wanted to do some outside research to aide my progress on this project. So here are the links I read. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voyant_Tools I learned that this system is used for health care, and system architecture.

The average child growing up in a middle class family has been exposed to 1,000 to 7,000 hours of one-on-one picture book reading. The average child growing
Hello all and happy Monday! This week we have been assigned to choose a Digital Methodology Module, and I selected “Text Analysis”. I chose this topic because I love to read.
