This Mashed Up Children’s Book assignment made me chuckle. I am studying to be a teacher so I loved this idea. It took me awhile to choose the book I wanted to do. At first, I was going to do something like Charlotte’s Wire (Charlotte’s Web) or No, McNulty! (No, David!) I then decided to go […]

This is my daily create of my shoefie! My friend and I did a project on our own where we decorated our own shoes and now I get to use it for this daily create, which is pretty cool.

Today’s Daily Create was to take a shoefie.

I like the contrast of light and dark here. This makeshift bullet-proof vest type thing was really a cool invention of sorts, I guess you’d say. I also like how there’s a mirror in the background that shows the faces of the other people. Omar’s situation really brings up a … Continue reading

This assignment was a remix. This was actually a lot of fun, and not nearly as hard as I thought it would be! For this assignment, I had to create a ds106 wallpaper, but boot camp it as the remix. So I just thought of ideas as a flag in the background with camo around it.   Process: I downloaded the flag

Today’s Daily Create was to write about the one that got away. Here is my response: We’ve been orbiting each other for years, eclipses here and there. We’ll always have sophomore year and the time I taped a box of Milk Duds to your door as part of a running … Continue reading

For my first daily create I made a short writing piece to the prompt “the one who got away.” As I am wholly unromantic, I decided to write my piece about something I really care about: candy. You were the one that got away. The others, brown, red, green and blue, they stayed in their […]

Every Sunday at noon, my friends and I go to Chipotle for burritos! To complete this assignment, I googled pictures of the Chipotle sign and a burrito and used Photoshop to put the two together. It was actually a pretty simple assignment!

One of my favorite TV shows is Modern Family. It is a fantastic sitcom that can always give me a good laugh. Throughout the series, I have noticed the changes in Luke’s appearance, voice, and overall personality. When the show began, Luke was a young boy. He is still young, but he has hit puberty […]

It was really interesting to see these shots of the mayoral candidates going to church and how that was such a big deal. The cameras outside seemed really crazy to me, and made going to church seem like just another thing a candidate has to do to look favorable and … Continue reading

I like how their white shirts really stand out and that we’re seeing them through the chainlink. Their hang out spots are always really well staged. The shadows and the iron fences make for a very creepy shot. I like how we get some of the boys’ interpretation of what … Continue reading

Today’s Daily Create – Worst DS106 Album This is an edit I made of this lovely album feat. Jim Groom

This was a very long but short two weeks in ds106. I don’t really know how it went by so fast I feel like just yesterday I was signing up

For one of my daily creates I decided to do the daily create where you write about opening your web life. For me this assignment was very funny. It was

For another one of my video assignments I decided to Letter to the 16 year old me (4 stars). This was a very interesting assignment for me and it brought

Way Down in the Hole-Lotta Video Over a two week period, we were required to do  a plethora of video assignments totaling at least 16  stars worth!    We also were required to do at least two daily creates each. Introductions: The introductions which I had done this week included my two posts for a video …

For one of the two other video assignments that I did other than the video essay and the swede episode I decided to do a video survival guide (3 stars).

Or at least it should have; that is equal three weeks that I at least needed to complete these weeks! Working from behind, I had the task of completing weeks 10, 11, and 12 with time running out at the moment. Video Assignments I managed to complete 13 stars with the exception of my video […]

I was able to get into a group to do the swede video of an episode of The Wire (5 stars). We decided that we would do episode 11 of

The Wire Sweded With G.I. Joe’s So I thought about what would be a unique way to swede an episode of The Wire.  As student we were challenged to  Swede a Scene from the show The Wire.  I chose the Season 3 Episode 11 scene of Stringer Bells death. This particular assignment was particularly challenging …

For my Wire Video Essay (5 stars) I decided that I would speak on something that I feel like has been going on throughout the whole series. Instead of just

Two weeks in one! For the past two weeks we not only wrapped up video week, but we began preparations towards our final projects. My subject of choice was Howard “Bunny” Colvin from The Wire, and I’ll be creating a fictional narrative for him over various social media sites. At this point, I have plenty […]

The Wire Sweded The scene that I decided to swede from The Wire was from Season 2. I’ve talked about this scene during my group’s radio show and am including it again because I love the dialogue in it so much. The scene involves Ziggy and his infamous Italian leather…

Week 11 and 12 was a double work load of video assignments and ended season 3 of the Wire and began season 4. Episode 11 and 12 was a great ending to season 3. The two episodes capped off the end of Avon’s organization with the murder of Stringer at the hands of Mouzone and […]

For my first video assignment, I chose the Special Person Montage because it immediately made me think of how much I miss my niece. My niece, whom my brother and sister-in-law named Cassryn Jane, was my brother’s first child and the light of me and my family’s life. She’s the…

Hey Everyone! Had to run home for a dose of emergency drama this weekend so I’m just now getting back and posting my weekly summary just under the wire…hahaha! Loved the last two weeks. Take a look to see what… Continue Reading →

I’ve really been enjoying the Video Assignments. I think these have been my favorite weeks.I read the warning label to this class, but it seriously was not a joke that this class would be a lot of work! But it’s fun work. And it is really rewarding when I create something to be proud of.Here’s… Read More
