This is the map that Andy used to plan out his bank robbing trip though the west.  He hit the capitals of almost every state in the West.  The yellow star shows where his trip began, and the red X shows where his trip ended abruptly by getting arrested.

As the final piece of my “Do These, Danny Keys” story project, I opted to make a map that shows all of the possibilities within the story. Each large dot is a section, each green one is a choice you can make within the story, and each orange dot is one of the assignments I … Continue reading Story Map for Do These, Danny Keys! →

As my semester in this class winds down, I think it’s important to go back and reflect. My experience in DS106 was incredibly fun, although I definitely could have done some things differently. You can learn a lot in this class, so long as you take the time to sit down and prepare for each week … Continue reading Dear Future DS106ers… →

I chose to do a little behind the scenes for my final just to discuss how everything was done. I was going to put it in the most with my final, but I thought that would be kinda distracting/annoying. To begin, I first thought of a general story line which was part of last weeks … Continue reading "Behind the Scenes: The Murder Most Foul"

The website is finally done!! Throughout my final project, I used Wix to create my own website. I started with a template that was meant to be used for tennis. I then added many features. The website itself is used as a form of design. Then, I added inspirational quotes for the writing aspect of my project. […]

We were asked by the professor to write a letter to future DS106 students. I thought this was a fantastic way to reflect upon the semester and understand what does and doesn’t work. I hope that future students enjoy the class and have a little fun. For my final project, I chose to complete Rose’s … Continue reading "Week 15 Summary – Thanks for the Travels!"

Part 1: The Plan If you knew her past, you’d know that this has always been her goal. She enjoyed what she did, but she knew it couldn’t be sustained. Rose was ready. She had assembled her team and had done the research. That’s more than what you can say for any of the other robberies … Continue reading "The Final Heist"

Here it is! The final product. The story begins with this audio of someone killing Marlene in her tavern. After the shooting, the killer runs away and the police come shortly after the call. They come and ask any witnesses if they saw anything – everyone claims that they saw nothing and don’t know what … Continue reading "The Murder Most Foul"

It’s OK to let your creative side shine a bit, no one is going to judge you! Get your work done in the beginning of the week, or at least slowly work on it throughout the week. There is no way you can produce good work in one day. Yea you’ll get it done, but … Continue reading "Dear Future Students,"

She had finally done what she had planned to do. She clutched her sack of money close to her as she watched the horizon move quickly past her. She didn’t know where the others were planning to go, she didn’t care. She had her share, and was now going to live a more relaxed life. She … Continue reading "The Final Heist – Part 5: Goodbye – Writing Assignment"

Danny Keys tells us what his plans are in “Do These, Danny Keys,” but if you haven’t gotten the chance to ask him there, he’ll tell you here! This was prompted by this assignment, worth 3 stars. Where will I be in five years? Here, hopefully. I love this town, moreso than any others I’ve … Continue reading Five Years From Now →

Want to learn what happened to our outlaw, Rose Oakley, and her plan? You can check it out from your local news source. I started with another news article before using the xray goggles to create my own story of Rose’s heist. It’s difficult writing like a news journalist. I’m not very good at it, and it starts … Continue reading "The Final Heist – Part 4: Read All About It! – Web Assignment"

What would Danny Keys do in an alternate life? You might have asked him when playing the game “Do These, Danny Keys,” but if you didn’t, he’ll tell you here. This was made based on this assignment, worth 3 stars. That’s a tough one, honestly. I like myself pretty well. Although… if there was one … Continue reading An Alternate Life →

I created a map for my final project. It showcases eight places where my character stayed throughout his life along with one connecting line. Each stop and the connecting line has a haiku associated with it. These haikus elaborate a little more about actions my character took at that point. At least four stop possess […]

What a busy semester it’s been. In between regular classes I’ve been working on ds106. And I learned quite a lot. One thing I learned is: don’t underestimate all level one hundred classes. Most level one hundred classes I’ve taken have been screw around classes, meaning I didn’t try and got an A. I found […]

This week, for our final project, we were to create a story using some of the different forms media we learned about this semester.

You … Continue reading Week 15-The Final Summary
