For my third digital story, I selected Bread. Bread is an interactive story that ties the lives of 6 women together through the common element of making bread. When you get into the meat of the site, you can select the story that you want to hear. Each story is a video of the woman being… Continue reading

Well, first I’d like to note that I obviously got out of order. Somehow, I managed to look at week 4’s due date information and completed a piece of scholarship in week 3 instead of this self reflection of learning. So here is the self reflection of learning that I should have done last week!… Continue reading Week 3: Self Reflection of Learning

My second piece on digital storytelling that I decided to discuss is How to Tell a Digital Story. Once again, my reasoning for reflecting on this is because of its tie to digital photography. The author uses an example of how to make coffee, and shows how photography combined with audio can make a seamless digital… Continue reading Response & Reflection: Week 3

For my second digital story critique, I chose Soldier Brother. This story comes to us from artist Kaitlin Jones, whose purpose was to examine sibling relationships. I chose this story for a couple of reasons. First, I have several brothers and was interested to see how she told the story of her relationship with hers. Second,… Continue reading Digital Story Critique 2: Soldier Brother

I know I said I’d try to be more creative about my reading reflections, but the truth is, I really like structure. It gives me a framework to follow, and allows me to be more creative. I have found that if I am not given a framework, I spin my wheels and drain my creative… Continue reading Reading 2: Visual Networks

For this week, we have been instructed to complete an assignment from the DS 106 Visual Assignment Bank. I chose to do Visual Assignment 1892: Do You See What I See. The instructions are: “Find or take a photo of an eye. Take another image of whatever you want, and overlay the image onto the eye. … Continue reading Visual Assignment 1892: Can You See What I See →

Here is the original. This is a photo of the Denver bikesharing station in my neighborhood. It fits well with both my blog theme and the DS106 Daily Create. Then I got to playing with my Prisma app and picked my two favorites.

The digital story I selected is Welcome to Pinepoint. This interactive digital story tells the tale of a town that once existed but is no more. The idea came to the creators, Paul Shoebridge & Michael Simons, because Michael stumbled across Richard Coultier’s Pine Point Revisited website. Their original intent was to write a book about the death… Continue reading Digital Story Critique 1: Welcome to Pinepoint

For my first response & reflection on piece about digital storytelling, I have selected Pictures of You: Photography in Digital Storytelling. My first goal was to find an article that talks about photography as a medium for telling a story. This article is pretty straightforward, aimed at the average person who might think they aren’t… Continue reading Response & Reflection: Week 2

Frame Pingback Here is my first attempt at the weekly photo challenge. The theme is Frame. While not the best photo, I loved the way the morning looked showing through my kitchen window.

Ok… this one didn’t take much thought. The theme for this Daily Create is “Removed”. So I thought it was apropos that I post this screen capture of My having been removed from a class that I am enrolled in, specifically INTE5340 Learning With Digital Stories.

So, this blog is not currently attached to the DS106 Site. I need to explore that more. But below are my responses to the first week’s reading. I am an analytical person that deals with the organization of information, so I tend to work best in numbered or bulleted lists. So, until I become more… Continue reading Reading 1
