DS106 Week 5 HAS BEEN MY FAVORITE WEEK SO FAR I love visual week!!! To start off the week there were a list of “Photography Tips.” I enjoyed reading them; however, since I had multiple classes of photography during highschool nothing was real new to me.

To start off DS106 Week 4 – Learning to Listen, we were asked to watch a series of videos (five to be exact) to get a feel of what’s expected for the week and to listen/learn from some experts about radio storytelling.

The First of FOUR, was about the basics of radio storytelling, and do’s and don’ts, and types/storyboards. I enjoyed this first one because it caught my attention and gave me thorough insight. He also made sure to … Continue reading →
