As a senior on a victory lap completing my final semester at KSU, I decided to write about my own personal trajectory when it comes to research paper writing. To say that ‘senioritis’ has hit me would be a HUGE understatement, and finding motivation to complete assignments has been difficult this semester. This trajectory map tracks […]

This assignment asked to find a man made version of a natural thing and put them together in a collage. I chose to do a lion and had originally intended on finding something related to the lion king play but I found this one instead. I have no idea where it’s from or what the […]

The assignment was to take a picture that helped describe our favorite lyric and write the lyric somewhere on the picture. The song I chose was Swim by Jack’s Mannequin and I felt this picture helped embody the message of the song as a whole. This song in particular has been one that’s helped me […]

For this assignment I was to write my goal in life to be displayed for the world to see. Well, my dream is pretty simple: I want to make an impact. This means that wherever God places me – the town, the school, the environment I may teach in – I desire to make a […]

Liabilities: Though I am not a teaching major, digital identity is still relevant to me when I want to consider a professional career or job in the future. I love social media, even though I am not always the best at it. I use it on daily basis probably 2-3 a day. Facebook, Instagram, and applications ...

https://docs.google.com/drawings/d/1zr_erlo6aKbaziIDEiijfVRclKsNL1uEOyYprsxAgOs/edit I found the digital map to be very helpful. Basically, every blue shape is safe for anyone to see. The red shapes, however, are things i would like to keep private. Fortunately, everything on Facebook can be secured, and i’m pretty good about keeping things like my pictures, statuses, and groups private from the ...

SpongeBob Squarepants first aired in 1999 and has been blowing up our televisions ever since. The show aims to entertain young kids (and their parents) with its weirdness, catchiness, and uniqueness. Although there haven’t been any spinoffs of the show yet, Nickelodeon produced a SpongeBob Squarepants Movie and a sub-series involving a character called Patchy ...

For this assignment, I chose to do the Post”Secret” assignment. The idea is to write on a post-it your biggest dream in life. I chose “To Change the Lives of People” because my major is Psychology and I thoroughly enjoy helping others in need, and listening to anyone who has a problem. My biggest dream is to ...

For this assignment, I took a picture of a chair and I cropped the picture so that it would specifically show the ordinary object. The point of the assignment is to take a picture of an object and manipulate the colors. I used Google to edit the picture with the Exposure button, and LFR tool. ...

For our Assignment A, I chose to do the “Before and After” Assignment. I took a screenshot on my computer of both pictures and repositioned them together so that they were even. On the left is a picture of me when I was younger (excuse my lack of fashion sense) and on the right is ...

I did a composite of two images representing life (birth) and death. Here are the original images: Skull: Composite:

Made a time lapse video doing some small projects at a town-home property that my family owns near campus. Used a GoPro Hero HD 2 with a suction cup mount and edited with Quicktime 7 and Final Cut Pro.

Mom needed to know how to upload photos to Walgreens and have them printed out in store. This video pretty much sums it up!

  I use these headphones all the time so I thought they would be the perfect object to mess with. I placed them on the top of my laptop which gave a really cool background manipulate. The colors were originally pretty bland, but now the overall p...

I chose to do the assignment where you take something found in nature, and then find the same thing in man made form. Metal yard decorations immediately came to mind and I found a really cool one of a horse so I chose to do that animal.   I used the website picmonkey.com, which someone ...

I chose to do the video project of Where Are They Now. The idea was to choose a movie and follow up on where the characters are today. I chose The Breakfast Club. Each slide shows the before, or of when they were in The Breakfast Club, and the after which was a made up profession ...

I am asked a lot why I am going into teaching. There are a lot of reasons, but I think the biggest one is because no one was really there for me growing up and I felt pretty alone. My parents were in the military, so they were never home. I was generally unhappy with ...

These are some of my closest friends. We went to visit Duke University in North Carolina to visit a chapter of our fraternity (co-ed). While walking around, we found some railroad tracks. I thought it was funny that no matter how much time has passed, we all very much enjoy walking on railroad tracks. This ...

So my first choice assignment was a fake album cover. The task was simple, click on the link provided for a random Wikepedia article. I ended up with “Secure Network.” It then was the name of my “band” and it was followed by clicking on the link for random quotes. The last four to five ...

 This is the picture that was taken of my cousin and his refusal to eat corn, I used the caption of I LOVE CORN because it was the opposite of what he wanted. Needless to say after the picture was taken he threw the corn into the next booth. You can find the original assignment ...

this is my attempt of a GIF, I was to go to google and type in  I hate and then a letter, I typed in T and i got Taylor Swift, Tmobile, and Traffic and T-Pain. You can find the actual assignment here.

this is a photo of the a-z project that is clothing pieces from a-z. The original assignment can be found here

I decided to hop on the pet  train with this one – it just looked so fun. I’ve turned my dog, Japhy, into a transvestite prince http://assignments.ds106.us/assignments/makeup-your-pet/

This assignment was to take a famous painting or print and recreate it. I chose a print of Salvador Dali. Unfortunately, I don’t have an ocelot, so my dog had to stand in.   http://assignments.ds106.us/assignments/art-comes-to-life/  

I asked my friend Bob to snap a photo of one of my throws on my new Google phone, and what he caught right here was a “pump-fake.” I didn’t actually throw the disc, and I think this is why I appear to have two right legs, arms, and two shadows. So it’s really “Caught ...

Sorry guys. The uploading process from my video editor to youtube always screws everything up, so the video and the audio are a little off. Hope it’s not too difficult to follow.

After hearing about the “cat breading” trend in class, I wanted nothing more than to do this assignment for DS106, but alas, my apartment complex does not allow pets so all my cats are back at home. But this morning, I woke up to find a homeless cat in my living room that roommate accidentally let in. ...

For this assignment, you’re suppose to pick your favorite lyric from a song and use different forms of typography to illustrate it. I chose to use my favorite Mayday Parade lyric, ” And knowing that for someone you’re an angel sent to save…” It’s a lyric that means a lot to me, so I definitely ...

For this assignment, you remake the classic “Marilyn Monroe Expressions Sheet” with your own self portraits. I tried to get mine similar to the original, but I added in my own silly personality. No make up, no editing, just the many faces of me! http://assignments.ds106.us/assignments/not-quite-norma-jeane/

For this assignment, I had to use three photos to tell as story about a relationship between myself and something that I love. So, I chose to do a story board of my cat, Ponyo. I really enjoyed doing this project because aside from the graphics that I got to create, I also got to ...
