    My FINAL weekly summary!

    by
    This is my final weekly summary, this is kind of bitter sweet. This week I completed my final project. I compiled all of my videos, GIF’s, music, created images, and online images here. Finally, I get to chase Bigfoot.   I also created a blog post for future ds106ers. You can view that here: Advice.. for […]

    Advice.. for the future me.

    by
    Hi future ds106er! First let me start by saying don’t let this class intimidate you. It did for me in the beginning and it turned out to be my favorite class this semester. I actually looked forward to completing my final project! The most important thing to ALWAYS remember in this class is that procrastination […]

    Finally, I get to chase Bigfoot.

    by
    I wanted to make my final project something that I would really enjoy doing because we had to do it over a long span of time. I will also be honest in the fact that I did procrastinate with the final compilation of the whole thing and ran into some hiccups (because such is life). […]

    Working on the final project- part 2.

    by
    Last week was Thanksgiving break and I’ll be honest, it wasn’t filled with me working on my final project. Rather I relaxed and took time to clear my head. Believe it or not, this helped me with the project. This week I buckled down and started finding photos of all of the amazing places around […]

    The beginning of the end..

    by
    This week was mainly composed of me brainstorming what I wanted to do with my final project. It’s harder than you’d think figuring out what you want to do because you have to find a way that you can incorporate 4 different media outlets into the project. I thought about telling a story, doing a […]

    How to Take A Walk in the Park.

    by
    I had previously created something that explains with photos how to create something in audacity. I didn’t know about the tutorial option to tag so I didn’t tag it but think this would help someone tremendously! Here is my previous post shared for a tutorial post!   This week I was given the challenge of […]

    Amber’s Blog 2016-11-11 15:46:07

    by
    This assignment was worth 4 stars originally but I found it to be worth only 2 bringing it down to 3 1/2 stars (overrated still). We had to take 2 logos and mash them together. The first thing that came to my mind is Whiskas cat food because I have 2 new additions to my family and […]

    We belong together.

    by
    I created an assignment in the assignment bank because I was inspired by a music assignment current in the bank. I initially rated it 3 stars because while it isn’t hard, it is somewhat time-consuming and someone came along and rated it 3 1/2 stars. So 3 1/2 stars it is I suppose. For this […]

    Stached! Remix style.

    by
    For this remix assignment I was required to take work that I had already created and add mustaches on them. This was relatively simple because I had previously done all of the “hard” work and just needed to tweak a few things. I decided to “stache” 2 of my previous assignments to make it worth […]

    Tweets for week 11!

    by
    This week we had to do 2 daily creates on Twitter. These are my 2: I have a wine and red/gold themed kitchen (I love everything wine themed). I never thought it would come in handy for a still life photo for a class! Here is my “red themed” still life photo! Did you do […]

    Holiday mashup!

    by
    For this assignment (4 stars) we had to use Photoshop or Pixlr to create a photo mashup of our 3 favorite holidays. For this I chose Christmas, Halloween, and The 4th of July. I chose to use Photoshop because I had already had the trial downloaded onto my computer. I had never used Photoshop to this extent before […]

    Holiday mashup remixx!

    by
    This week I made the holiday mashup assignment (link to my assignment) for 4 stars and decided to remix it for the second part of our assignments this week! The mashup that I got was to think back to the sitcom “Happy Days” and either create a photo mashup from back in that time frame or add […]

    Summing up week 10!

    by
    This week was geared towards more video editing. I really enjoyed working on all of this for a second week and I still haven’t been able to figure out my iMovie (my MacBook got a nasty virus on it last week from using a program to save a youtube video.. NIGHTMARE!! and I have to […]

    How to thread a serger..

    by
    For this (4 stars) I had to make a 2 minute documentary of something. I actually created this assignment based on a spin off of another assignment. I couldn’t make my documentary in 30 seconds so why not have a longer version! Wether you are showing how to make something, how to do a job, doing something that you’re really good […]

    Healthy Vines

    by
    The Healthy Vine Challenge (4 stars) became easier as I played with it. I thought it would be super simple but did come across some hiccups (surprise). The point of the assignment was to take 3 – 2 second videos making a healthy food. Coming across the assignment was extremely lucky for me because I had […]

    Tweet Tweet, it’s week 10!

    by
    This week we had to complete 3 tweets. The three I chose are below! Lady luck. Because who doesn’t need someone that is unseen sprinkling luck on them for ds106?! @ds106dc #tdc1759 Bringing luck to all @ds106 students! She's grey and likes it that way. Unseen is the way she travels. pic.twitter.com/BloVjdP5Wl — Amber (@amberrlynn0810) […]

    Finding someone special..

    by
    For the Special Person Montage Assignment (5 stars) I had to pick someone or something that is very special to me. I immediately thought of my grandmother but flash into the quick realization that I don’t have nearly as many photographs of her as I would like. This brings me to the thought of my father. […]

    Video essay for Breaking Dawn

    by
    For my video essay, I chose the notorious love story of Edward Cullen and Bella. Immediately upon learning about this assignment I thought of the scene where Bella had just gave birth and was in the process of changing into a vampire. Because she unconscious, we don’t know this right away. For the process of ...

    French Braid Tutorial!

    by
    For this assignment I had to create a tutorial for something. This was a lot harder than I thought it would be because it was hard to find the correct video height, lighting, and an idea. I chose to french braid my cousins hair (this was her idea, not mine. So thank you Kristi). I ...

    How to make a rice bag!

    by
    For this assignment I had to create an arts and crafts tutorial on how to make something. This caught my eye because I have a sewing business and make children’s clothing, bedding (quilts), and some items for adults. I thought that it would be a really cool experience. It was a lot harder than I ...

    What do you do daily?

    by
    I chose to complete the video assignment “What do you do?” for 4.5 stars. This was a little over-rated in my opinion because this was simple to create with minimal editing. The only “complicated” part was deciding what to do because there are a ton of things that get done every day. We had to ...

    Tweeting for week 9!

    by
    As week 9 comes to an end, I am here to share my tweets for this week! My mother was the first born in America. Her mother was born in England so I have a lot of family still over in England. My dream is to go and visit everyone over there! The photos I ...

    Summary of the half way point

    by
    This week launched the middle of the semester.. We’re half way there guys! It also got us back on track to doing assignments again like normal since we submitted our radio shows that were played this week. We had to participate in a live tweet along again, those things are pretty cool. Here is a ...

    Amber’s Web Story:

    by
    For this assignment I had to change a webpage and make it kind of like a resume. I did this by using the X-ray Goggles feature available for free on the web. I will say that this was tricky for me because I could not for the life of me, figure out how to change the picture. ...

    Radio Show Reflection

    by
    My favorite radio show that was able to listen to was History 2.0, One of my favorite aspects about this show was the call in setup. #ds106 I really like the call in set up! pretty cool! — Amber (@amberrlynn0810) October 20, 2016 Their transitions were phenomenal, the volume was a pretty consistent level (considering ...

    DS106 “Bests”

    by
    I define “best” in this context as being something that is creative and not what I would normally think or dream of doing. Someone who can take a project that seems complex but explain it in a way that is beautiful and seems easy. Someone that can make me want to try new editing processes (whatever that ...

    Take the spirit animal quiz!

    by
    This week I chose the web assignment Buzzfeed personality quiz (4.5 stars). This was somewhat challenging for me because I have never created something like this but decided to give it a shot. Trying to decide what you want to make your quiz about is challenging when you actually start thinking about it. I had to create ...
