This post is for my 15 minute photo safari that we had to do for week 1 of ds106. I…

Setting Up My Domain and Social Media- Before taking this class, I already had a domain set up for my job as a peer mentor for incoming freshman in fall of 2017. The name “the open reading frame” is a biology reference (an open reading frame is a portion of genetic information with the potential …

This week was quite an eye opener when it came to digital storytelling. It was amazing to me how many outlets there were for telling stories and how great they all are. Setting up my domain and social media was one of the more fun parts of the week. I love getting new things so …

Hello there. Here are the results of my photo safari this week. Unfortunately it was raining when I did this but it still worked out! I thought the laptop running windows was a rather inventive picture. It really shows a stark contrast between two opposites. The experience was actually rather difficult. Much more than I …

I chose to use this picture for this assignment because it is a picture of me and my two brothers…

This assignment was to take a movie poster and add the truth to it. While I’m sure there are some people who are genuinely interested in Dunkirk, a movie that will be released July 21st that is about the Battle of Dunkirk during the second World War, I think the majority of people who go …

I really liked that I had the freedom to go through the assignments in the bank and choose to do the ones that I wanted to. It made the process of getting 10 stars way easier, having tons of options is very helpful. Here are the links to my visual assignments. Your Very Own Spubble … Continue reading "First Week Review"

I chose to use this assignment as one of my four this week because I am a huge Game of…

For this assignment I was tasked with making my own Spubble “meme”. I think that my friend’s face is an accurate reaction to forgetting to do your homework for class. This is for the Your Very Own Spubble assignment that can be found in the ds106 assignment bank.

Valentine’s Day cards can be pretty cheesy and the point of this assignment was to create something that is better. Well I’m not sure if this is necessarily better, but I wouldn’t mind receiving something like this on love day. Me being the nerd I am, I know this equation makes a perfect heart when …

I really enjoyed doing this assignment, but I thought it was a bit challenging because of the 15 minute time restriction, I did have a little trouble trying to take pictures of things that would fit all of the objectives, but I managed to finish in the time frame. All of the pictures were taken … Continue reading "Photo Safari"

I chose to use this visual assignment from the assignment bank because I love pets and my dog is my…

1. Setting up the blog and social media From a past class, I already knew how to use UMW domains, so from there it was the simple task of setting up a new subdomain. I ended up choosing leniwilliams.net/ds106 because … Continue reading →

This was my final assignment which involved adding a speech bubble to a picture of myself. Enjoy!

For this assignment we were supposed to add something into the reflection of someone’s eye. My friend James loves Jaguar cars so I added that! My Photoshop skills are not the best so it looks kind of strange but you get the idea!

June 22nd 2016 was the first day my band practised with our current and best drummer. We’ve played all across the region with him, and recently started working on out debut album in a real studio.

This post explains my mood after eating a greasy big mac from McDonalds. This would  be the representation of reaching the milestone of eating too many Big Mac’s from McDonalds that you are so disgusted about your eating habits that you have to change them #imlovinit

For my Photoblitz assignment (http://ds106.jenpolack.com/?p=1902#more-1902), I decided to take pictures in the house I’m staying in currently. The house has lots of windows and I decided to take my photos a few hours before sunset so the lighting in the house was ideal. This assignment was very challenging for me, I felt stressed and a …

An intersection of religion and education, while common perhaps shouldn’t be. Are they not mutually exclusive? To have faith in something that can neither be seen nor understood, as is the expectation in religion, seems abominable in education. But then again, consider the following: Close your eyes. Listen three or four times, make a decision …

This is a picture I took while driving through Charlottesville and I think it’s beautiful. I love nature and spending time outside because there’s a reminder that there’s more to life than the computer your on and the phone sitting next to you. One thing I find frustrating is when people want to get on …

My best photo of the week, I felt, was this one: This photo was my favorite because I used a few tips from the ds106 website to try and capture it. The first was “Change My Perspective By Changing Yours”. … Continue reading →

While tattoos look meaningless to some, that person with the tattoo feels differently. Tattoos tell stories and can be a piece of us. If you’ve seen my earlier posts, you know I love cats. I feel I have a connection with cats and to my friends, I’m known as the “Cat Whisperer”. So it should …

I’ll be the first to say that I am as much an amateur photographer as you could possibly get. I had a brief photography phase in middle school, but I didn’t really have an eye for it–and I still feel … Continue reading →

The many faces of a timeless and iconic beauty, now available in four styles. The original “Unedited” option shows this star’s natural allure. Her supple skin radiates in the beautiful California sunshine, if there were a flaw to be found it could not be hidden in these photos. With this style in your possession, it’s …

This is a picture of my fantasy band. My fantasy band would top the billboard 100 with every new single. The name of the band is called my band, not yours.

I enjoyed going through all the assignments in the bank and picking the ones I wanted to do. It can be difficult to complete 10 stars worth of assignments if there’s nothing there you can run with. Since the class moves so quickly having plenty of options is very helpful. This week I learned about …

This assignment was a little bit more challenging because of the 15 minute time restraint. Looking through the bullet points I was able to think of so many ideas but finding those things in 15 minutes and taking a decent picture wasn’t as easy as I thought. I chose to do this in my bedroom …

They say a picture is worth a thousand words, but this one only has less than 20. This is every musicians nightmare, having spent years perfecting your playing, only to take the stage and have some talent-less hack yell “Free Bird” from the back of the room like he’s the first one to have ever […]
