For this week’s critique I am choosing to evaluate the YouTube video: Taylor Swift – “Blank Space” PARODY (Mom Version) created and uploaded to YouTube by user WhatsUpMoms.

So today the last person on my team started. My department has basically been the department of Lisa for almost 7 months. There was some restructuring and it is no longer the department of Lisa and the last person to fill in started today. I’m so excited I had to …
So I decided to do a third daily create this week because I really liked today’s challenge.
The instructions were to raw something on a napkin and give it to someone. Since it’s July 4th and my son is a dual citizen I decided to draw him something. Please …
So today’s Daily Create asks us to embed a famous painting in an everyday setting. I chose to take a different route for this, and instead of embedding a famous painting of a person into a modern setting, I embedded something in my everyday setting into the famous painting.

This week I’m critiquing a digital video short story called “Humans need not apply”, uploaded to YouTube by a user named CGP Grey. This video does not relate to my focal theme at all. I chose this video because it relates more to the major theme in Lankshear and Knobel’s …

For my second daily create this week I decided to do a random one. The daily ones this week didn’t really catch my attention. The daily create I am doing is called: Sell the breakfast you ate today as the daily special at a 5 star restaurant. No further instructions …
For most of chapter 3 Lankshear and Knoble write about ‘new technical stuff’ and ‘new ethos’ in relation to new literacies. The definition of ethos is: “the fundamental character or spirit of a culture; the underlying sentiment that informs the beliefs, customs, or practices of a group or society; dominant …
Today’s Daily Create asks us to Pick an opening line out of 20 great opening line types and write our own. I chose a Cynical opener:

This week I’m starting to see links between literacy, Discourse and digital storytelling. Last week I was so overwhelmed with getting everything set up for the course and managing all the assignments that I feel that I failed on learning as much as I could. This week I’m getting into …

Ryan’s well is a story of a little boy who wanted …
The first story I’m critiquing is called: Reddit The Button – Digital Story by YouTube user Cyberculture stories. I found this video while searching for digital storytelling on YouTube.

For this week’s ds106 audio assignment I chose to do the 911 What’s your emergency assignment.

Today’s daily create is to draw the best moment of your life. Instead of taking this at face value and drawing what the best moment of my life looked like, I decided to draw the emotions I was feeling while experiencing the best moment of my life.
People will tell …
My world has completely changed this week. There are so many new things in my life.
First, my son learned to crawl this week! He now “motors” across the living room looking for all his toys and some things that are not his toys. We had …

I’ve always been interested by hoaxes. Sometimes spending hours on snopes.com just clicking the random button and reading the stories that catch my eye. Other times double checking facts that someone posted to my Facebook wall because they were worried about the type of pacifiers I use for my baby…
I’ve seen the word literacy before. I’ve seen the word in many iterations before: digital literacy, computer literacy, illiteracy, etc. but where do these words come from? Lankshear and Knobel explore this question in the first chapter of their text: New Literacies, Everyday Practices and Social Learning.
This chapter was …
