This final is pretty open ended. My group and I decided that the most important parts to focus on were 1) making the project fit into multiple medias and 2) relate to the course theme, the 80s.
The two media platforms we decided to post our project on were Soundcloud …
After making our individual trailers, my group met on Zoom and discussed how we wanted to do this final video project. It was pretty cool that all of us had never met before this class and our formed together because none of had groups already. It’s even cooler than all …
Here is my blog post and Group Project Video this week:
I am very proud of my editing work. It took around 4 or 5 hours in total because I received raw footage from 4 different people without too much structure. My group mates …
Week 10 – Post Coronavirus Trailer and Blog Post
This week was fun. I’m excited to be working with the same group again. This week consisted of two video assignments. Videos are my specialty. For both assignments I used iMovie.
First, I looked into the …
I meant to put five students instead of four!
The group I met on Twitter for the first project all decided to come together again for this optional project! This time, we all met on Zoom and discussed our plan. That was the first time I have used Zoom. It …
I did a scene from the Breakfast Club. I have four sections of commentary. I created a Vimeo account and uploaded it there.…
That was quite a week. Collectively my household temporarily lost four jobs. Times are tough but it is oddly calming knowing that there are millions in the same position.
This week was the first time I got to be on a radio show! Even though …
Let's get it!

It was a lot of fun being on the DS106 radio! I was pretty nervous, but I was very focused and excited. I got my friend to …
Here is the final product! What a ride!
Here is my other post for the week –
Thank you Lewis for hosting, Kyle for editing, and Lilian and Hayden for “calling in” with me! It is so awesome to listen to the final product. …
Wow, what a week. This was my favorite week in DS106 so far.
Through a few meetings, both online and in-person, my group was able to coordinate and execute a plan for the radio show. In hindsight, I think we over-prepared, but I suppose that’s not such a bad thing!…

Week 7 – Radio Show Project Promo
So far this was my favorite week. I had a really rough week outside of school so this was a healthy outlet …
I used a website called Piktochart to make a poster online. I included all the main details like the school, the class, the description, and the name of the show. I made sure it was pretty simple, just so people would get the idea of the what was happening! …
Both of my audio assignments are relevant to my group’s radio show!
The first one is me advertising the 1985 NBA Finals with an 80s sounding introduction. I used the real player names and the real network. Spoiler, the Lakers won.
The second one I took an 80s hip hop …
So far, this has been my favorite week of class. I was getting pretty tired of the routine of a weekly lesson and then a few assignments.
For the radio show, I met my group on Twitter. One team member tweeted about wanting a group and had one classmate reply. …

Week 5 Assignments – Teenage Angst
Make it 800% slower was pretty straightforward. I took a part of a song (a.lone by XXXTENTACION), and in Audacity, the recommended …
Jad Abumrad does a great job advocating for radios. In How Radio Creates Empathy, Abumrad explains how lacking visuals has to power to bring people together through imagination. In the second video he compares modern day story telling to old-fashioned shamanism. I understand his point and I appreciate his passion …

Telling Stories with Photographs
Summarize A Movie With Animated Gifs
Assignment Write-Ups…Photoshop is hard.
That’s a lot of posts! This week was the most time consuming for me so far, even over last …
For this week’s visual assignments, I chose 3 different 4 star assignments. All of them were very straightforward, and like my photoblitz, I want my work to speak for itself, because isn’t that sort of the point of visual storytelling?
The first assignment i did was Summarize A Movie With …
ayyyyy that took way too long…
I am choosing not to write about any of these photos because I want the photos to tell the story on their own.
They’re all around. Make a photograph of a wheel near you. Take a photo of something that you are envious of (physical or metaphorical). Make a monochrome…
I have taken a lot of photos of the years. I started as a kid, when I was gifted a disposable camera and taken on a hike by my Grandpa. I took photos of trees, water, and animals. I had a great time, I was proud of my work, and …
David Griffin’s Ted Talk made me realize that I am using my camera how I want to. Griffin did a fantastic job of explaining how photos can tell a story, be educational, and lead to change. My favorite part of the talk was the story of how the photographer found …
Here are my other 5 posts for the week
This week was the most challenging one yet.
I think I am spending too much time trying to figure out the assignments, and instead, I need …
