I am done!! I can’t believe that this class has come to an end. I had a lot of fun working on this project. Through my four categories, I was able to piece together my college experience through multiple forms of media. I loved going through all of my memories and I think I was […]

Hello future students! When I signed up for this course and we received this feedback from people who have taken this course in the past, I found their information to be very helpful. I had a pretty light workload this year, so my time with DS106 wasn’t as stressful as it could’ve been. However, if […]

I ran into some complications for the last portion of this assignment. All of the videos that I have been taking over the past few weeks that illustrate what I do on a typical day here have been accidentally deleted from my phone 🙁 I’m pretty frustrated because this would’ve been the perfect way to […]

Instead of doing a design assignment, I thought a writing one would be more fitting for me as a student, as I am a sociology major which involves a lot of writing. I’m also not very good at designing photos…and I’m much better at writing. For this segment, I will continue to tell the story of […]

For my second category, I will focus on Audio. For this I want to do a few of things: post songs and sounds that remind me of UMW voice interviews with friends about why they love UMW Sound Memories: To find songs that I used to like to listen to over the past several years at […]

Every morning when I wake up (after snoozing several times), I typically look at my phone until I have to muster up the strength to get myself out of bed. The other day, I was looking at my TimeHop app when I came across something that made me smile. For those who do not know […]

My project is coming along quite nicely. My idea still stands as piecing together my college experience through video, audio and more. During the past few weeks, I have been taking photos and videos of my experiences. Stay tuned for more updates throug...

This week was all about brainstorming some ideas for the final project. It’s a lot hard to come up with than you think it is! I have been thinking all week and still am not sure this is something that I want to do. But I guess that’s the beauty of this project – if […]

Mashups made for a really fun week! I learned a lot about what it takes to make a mashup, whether it be music, video or photo. I did three Mashup Assignments throughout the week, all of which were really fun and interesting to do. The first required me to make a mashup of all of […]

Assignment 3: Movie Mashup (4.5 stars) This assignment gave me a little more trouble that I thought I would have and in the end, I’m not really please with how it came out. However, here is what I came up with! My task was to combine two movies and make a mashup movie poster. To […]

Assignment 2: Mashing Friends and Emojis (4 stars) This assignment was very easy for being worth four stars, but I will take it. I had to find a friend and take a picture of them imitating an emoji. This step was pretty easy as I was with a bunch of friends at the time. I chose my […]

Assignment 1: Mashup (3.5 stars) This assignment was a lot of fun for me to create. My task was to create a mashup of video clips of my favorite TV character. My favorite TV show has and always will be Friends. I have been watching it for as long as I can remember and it […]

The tutorials that are attached to each Assignment Bank assignment are so helpful to me. If they weren’t there, I would probably do each of them incorrectly or would struggle for a very long time before finally figuring it out. It is now my turn to make an assignment tutorial for all of the cuter […]

This was a pretty relaxed and fun week! I just had to finish up my video assignments and do a handful of daily creates. I had a lot of fun with the assignments this week! I got to create a hilarious music video, interview some friends, and make a tribute video to my dog. It […]

@ds106dc a story through the cities #tdc1762 pic.twitter.com/abE4ZtloqJ — emily dzubak (@emillaaaaaaay) November 4, 2016 This was a little bit strange, but I managed to be creative and come up with something that kind of made sense!  

This Daily Create was pretty easy. I just had to find a Gif of someone walking, in honor of Emma Sharp, the first woman to do the Barclay Challenge in 1867 by walking 1,000 miles in 1,000 hours. I chose this Gif of Charlie Brown, because who doesn’t love him! @ds106dc in honor of the […]

I honestly do not understand the Pumpkin Spice craze. I’ve never been a big fan of pumpkin-flavored things, so the whole frenzy doesn’t really make sense to me. However, I imagine that the Pumpkin Spice girls would like to constantly taste the flavor, so these Listerine strips would be perfect for them! @ds106dc not sure […]

Assignment 3: Recording a Memory (2.5 stars) The goal of this assignment was to record a friend retelling a memory that they had. My roommate and right hand man Miranda, who has been featured in many of my DS106 assignments lately, volunteered to tell me one of her favorite memories. I have always wanted to visit […]

Assignment 2: Create a Music Video (5 stars) I was on the fence about doing this assignment, mostly because I didn’t want to embarrass myself. But it is worth 5 stars and I knew it would be a lot of fun so I decided to just go with it. I went to my friend’s apartment and […]

Assignment 1: Special Person Montage (5 stars) I’m about to get a little bit sappy. This July, my family and I had to put our beloved Shelby to sleep. She lived a wonderful 13 years with us, but it was still too soon to say goodbye (told you I was getting sappy). I chose this […]

Assignment 3: What do you do? (4 stars) For this assignment, I had to make a video of myself doing something I do every day. I decided to record my breakfast experience. Every morning after practice, my teammates and I race to the UC to eat breakfast after a hard and long workout. This is […]

We did two Daily Creates this week: I really really enjoyed this one! They gave us an opening sentence and we were told to make up a story around it. I love making up stories so I was super excited to get started on this one. It’s nice to take some time and get creative sometimes. […]

Assignment #2: How-To Video (4.5 stars) For my next assignment, I decided to get a little bit crafty. My task is to make a How-To tutorial on whatever subject I want. There aren’t many things that I do know how to do, but one thing that I would say I’ve mastered is how to do […]

Assignment #1: My Favorite Thing to Do (3.5 stars) For this assignment, our task was to take a video or upload a video of us doing our favorite hobby. I immediately knew I wanted to put up a video of rowing, since that’s about the only hobby I have time for. I didn’t actually have […]

After a long two weeks of projects, it was very exciting to get to listen to what everyone put together. I decided to do a “review” on The DS106 Radio Show, created by Mark, Elvin, Ben, and Anna. The show begins with an exciting bumper introducing their “news team”. It sounds like something that you […]

This week, instead of just doing our normal two or three daily creates, our task is to do a couple and then make them into a story where they connect. I only around to completing two this week, but I have managed to come up with a short story that pulls them both together. My […]

This week, one of our assignments is to pick out three of our favorite daily creates that our classmates have done recently, and blog about each of them. This is the first one that caught my eye while I was looking at our class blogs. I absolutely love this photo because of the reflection of […]

Assignment 3: Way Back Time Machine (2 stars) For this assignment, my task was to use Way Back Time Machine to look at how a website has changed over time. It really is amazing how much progress on a website can be made in so little time. I decided to check out the evolution of […]

Assignment 2: What They Might Have Done in Social Media (3.5 stars) This assignment required me to make a “Fakebook” for a historical figure of my choice, and post what I think they would’ve posted about way back in the day. I actually had so much fun with this assignment. I decided to make a […]

Assignment 1: Create Your Own Room (4 stars) I chose this assignment because I am really into home decor and Pinterest, so this stood out to me. I love watching shows on HGTV and imagining how my future home is going to look. I think there is nothing more exciting than designing the future place […]
