    Political Storytelling

    After reading Bryan Alexander’s introduction, I never thought of a blog as a diary. New Media, and specifically blogs really are amazing… they’re a forum that you can share with

    Bryan’s Digital Storytelling

    by
    Bryan talked about numerous ways stories are created and how other perceive the storytelling mode. The one I wanted to elaborate on is “Character Blogging.” Character blogging is when the blogger is a character and their personalities are shown overtime.  The story I read in detail the “The Tweeted Titanic.”  ”The Tweeted Titanic is a series of ...

    Kurt Vonnegut story telling

    by
    I attached 3 images of a comic strip I made based on Kurt Vonnegut’s story telling techniques. I did mine based around Lord of the Rings. It’s skimpy on details but you may ( or may not) get the point.

    Letter Home ; Week 2

    by
    Hey Mommie, Whew, made it through another week of camp. This week I become more accustomed to the routine of camp. We had to do 3 daily creates. The first one I did was recording a sound that I basically hated, and I did styrofoam rubbing together. You can hear the sound here : http://soundcloud.com/kavon-lechae/sounds-from-tuesday-afternoon Then for ...

    Bryan Alexander’s Book and Website

    by
    I really enjoyed the chapter we read from Bryan Alexander’s book. His writing style was easy to follow and contained interesting information. It also wasn’t too complicated for someone like me, who is not very advanced in the particular field of digital storytelling. I wasn’t familiar with many of the sites and such mentioned in ...

    The Shape of 50 Shades

    by
    From beginning to end, the shape of the first book in the 50 Shades trilogy “Fifty Shades of Grey” is a roller coaster ride. Typical girl meets boy story that doesn’t have a happy ending…yet. I’m currently reading the second book is the series “Fifty Shades Darker” so I’ll report back on if Ana and ...

    Yep…I think I’m going Crazy, with a capital C

    by
    Until I signed up for ds106, I thought I was pretty tech savvy. Apparently NOT! I’m still struggling with Twitter and this blogging thing. Now I’m feeling inadequate and stressing about falling behind. Ugh! So now I’m just going to dive head-first and hope there’s not a giant boulder just under the surface. I’m really ...

    Dear Mom, Dad, and sissies, This week at camp was really busy! I was assigned to Bunkhouse number 3. We are working on picking out a name for the bunkhouse. The campers and counselors in my bunkhouse all seem pretty cool. I am now following them all on Twitter, so I can see their updates. ...

    The Shaping of Stories

    by
    I agree with all the story shapings that Vonnegut explained in his video. 1. A person gets into trouble, but overcomes it. 2. the average person gets something great, and it goes totally wrong. Or 3. A lower person starts off badly, good things happen, and they over come everything and remain triumphant. I chose to talk about ...

    Reaction to Michael Wesch Video

    by
    After watching internet culture expert, Dr. Wesch’s, talk, I realized that I am not as technologically savvy as I had thought. I’d like to think I have some skills on the internet, definitely in the social networking aspect, as I grew up with AIM/instant messaging and MySpace in middle school, which warped into the creation ...
