    Deadly Text

    by
    Texting has taken over the social world. About 5 years ago mainly teens were texting, but now everyone is texting. Let’s be honest, when we are driving down the highway we see people texting and driving, some of us do it ourselves. In high school, I signed a pledge to not text and drive. More ...

    My Opinion on ā€œThis American Lifeā€

    by
    I like how Starlee Kine started off interacting with Glass and not just talking about her own views. Glass asked her a question and Ā she instantly asked him a question, instead of talking solely about the show without his input. In Part 4 of Glass’ serious, he talked about how you have to interact with ...

    BUMP the Bumper louder

    by
    This assignment had to be one of the best assignments ever. I listen to the radio a lot and sometimes I like the bumpers more than anything else. Most bumpers are very catchy, and they don’t have many words in them, which makes it easier to remember. Although, this was one of the best ones, ...

    Hey Mommie, Another week of camp gone by. Just writing to give you another update on how things are. This week was a very easy week for the most part. We had to do a safari of our every day lives. Where we took pictures of random things that we saw and them used to ...

    My life; My Safari

    ColorĀ  Color Creates Mood. Draws Attention To Key Elements I decided to use a stop sign. First off, the color of the stop sign is bright red. I assume that the reason why a stop sign is read is to capture the drivers attention. As the quote above said, “draws attention to key elements.” The ...

    Flock Together & Share

    by
      “Sharing is Caring,” words my mother instilled in me a long time ago. I found this picture on the Creative Commons website and it looked as if all the origami birds are looking over and reviewing something. That is where I got the idea of Ā ”Flocking Together.. Sharing Ideas.” I also like how each ...

    Catch Me in the Beach

    by
    I absolutely love where I am from. Colonial Beach, Va. It is a very small beach, but it gets a lot of attention during the holidays and the summer. When I saw this assignment I got a tad bit excited. Mainly because not many people know where Colonial Beach, Virginia is. This again was an ...

    Music is Life

    by
    My life revolves around music. Music is one of my main types of communication. Words that I couldn’t say, I would find a song that stated how I felt and played it for the person, or ask the person to listen to it. I was always on the top of my music but listening to ...

    Together We Can

    by
    This picture of four people holding hands is a great design for DS106. Everyone pretty much knows that this is an online class so we don’t physically see each other everyday. But with that, it is amazing to me how we can all come together as one and get things done. For example, the collage ...

    I took this picture Ā in church a couple of week ago, when my cousin, Mariah, was eating a pop tart and not sharing.Ā Every timeĀ someone someone asked her for a piece she would give them this look. When I seen the option of making a captioned picture I knew this would be the one. I again ...

    [Wear] is the Error = )

    by
    I LOVEĀ mysteries, so I had to do the “where is the error” photo. I wanted to make it easy, just fun at the same time. I know everyone loves shoes, so I found 2 pair of my bright colored shoes and some sandals and did the photo. This probably was the more fun one to ...

    Bryan talked about numerous ways stories are created and how other perceive the storytelling mode. The one I wanted to elaborate on is “Character Blogging.” Character blogging is when the blogger is a character and theirĀ personalitiesĀ are shown overtime. Ā The story I read in detail the “The Tweeted Titanic.” Ā ”The Tweeted Titanic is a series of ...

    Hey Mommie, Whew, made it through another week of camp. This week I become more accustomed to theĀ routine of camp. We had to do 3 daily creates.

    The Shaping of Stories

    by
    I agree with all the story shapings that Vonnegut explained in his video.Ā 1.Ā A personĀ gets into trouble, but overcomes it. 2. the average person gets something great, and it goes totally wrong. Or 3. A lower person starts off badly, good things happen, and they over come everything and remain triumphant. I chose to talk about ...

    Hey Mom, This week at camp has been very chaotic and fun at the same time. I was very confused with a lot of things that first, but now things are coming together. I had to make a video on a family legend, and I chose to do my video on grandma. I expressed how ...
