I really enjoyed listening to the Legends ds106 Radio Show! This group did a very good job creating an interesting and entertaining show! I really liked the idea of a group therapy session. I thought that was a unique way to connect the characters. It was also interesting to hear how many of the characters …

For the Create Your Dream Vacation on Pinterest Assignment (3.5 stars), I had two main themes- both inspired by my semester abroad in Bath, England. The first of my dream vacations is to go to New Zealand and Australia. Some of my friends and I went on a bus tour for Spring Break with many …

October 21, 2018

The Google Draw Something Assignment was fun and easy! At first, I did not realize what was going on because I kept thinking, “Man, that did not feel like 20 seconds, why did they take my drawing away??” Then, I realized that Google was guessing my drawing while I was creating it. I thought that …

Albus Dumbledore

October 21, 2018

At first when I saw that we had to do the Storytelling Within the Web assignment, I was pretty concerned. It looked very hard, and I was unsure how I would do it. Once I downloaded the X-Ray Goggles and realized I needed to use them in Mozilla Firefox since they are a Mozilla tool, it …

Radio Week Round 3

| ds106, Syndicated, WeeklySummary
October 18, 2018

I found this week somewhat stressful… Once again working with a group entirely online and editing in Audacity were two things I am not used to, so they made me learn some new skills. The easiest part of the week was the TDC’s: For the first one, I had fun combining blues & clowns! I …

October 18, 2018

I am glad that this is the final week of this project! I have found it stressful, although I guess I am impressed with what our group was able to put together for the final project having never met in person. Last week, we started compiling all of the files we would need for the …

Audio Rewind

| ds106, Syndicated, WeeklySummary
October 12, 2018

This week was definitely an interesting one… It was different than all of the other weeks have been. I think it encompassed some of the challenges of an online class, at least for me. In both of the online classes I have had, we have had group projects. I think it is a good idea …

October 12, 2018

For my final assignment, I chose to start working on building my story for the radio show with the Story Fun Time! Assignment (3.5 stars). I was first thinking about using a conversation for the story, but then I remembered that my characters are Irish and my Irish accent is horrid… I then decided to …

Radio Show Review

by @MaddieM02790291

| ds106, radioshowweek1, Syndicated
October 12, 2018

This was the hardest part of the course for me so far. I am not a huge fan of group work in general, but it is much harder for an online class than an in-person class. Also, our group is a decent size, so it is particularly hard to coordinate anything. First, we had to …

For the first assignment I started working on and the second one I posted about/ finished, I created an ad to use during our radio show. I used the Fictional Radio Ad (4.5 stars( instructions to create it. We divided up our group into people who were going to create an ad and people who were …

Myths, Legends, and Character Conversations?

by @MaddieM02790291

| ds106, radioshowpromo, Syndicated
October 11, 2018

The first step to creating the poster was coming up with the name of our show. I ended up suggesting two names, and then the group decided on which one to use out of those two. We ended up deciding on “Myths, Legends, and Character Conversations?” I created this poster by first going to Canva. …

October 11, 2018

For the first assignment I am posting, I did the Based on 1-Quote-A-Day Project!! Assignment (2.5 stars). Although this is not the first one I started, it is the first one I finished. I have slowly been working on the other ones, but they are taking more time. I did not quite have enough stars with …

October 5, 2018

I really enjoyed this week. It was one of the more artistic, and less technological weeks, which I appreciated. I enjoy learning about new websites, apps, and technologies, but it takes a lot of time and energy. I enjoyed getting to spend a week thinking about ideas and creative things. I also really enjoyed the …

In the Mist of a Design Blitz

October 4, 2018

I found this experience to be interesting. At first, I did not really understand what we had to do for it. I also think I got it confused with the Photo Blitz. I thought that it would again be a timed assignment, rather than an on-going assignment. I kind of tried to keep my eyes …

For my final Design Assignment (2 stars), I decided to create a Motivational Poster! for Ella Maguire. She is going through a challenging time accepting who she is. She has been learning a lot of new things about herself, and they are not necessarily easy things to have to accept. Once again, I feel like …

October 1, 2018

For my third Design Assignment, I did the One Story/ Four Icons Assignment (3 stars). I thought this would be a fun assignment because I love the idea of reducing stories to their basic pieces. I tend to be a wordy person, so I always find activities that push me to be more short and …

Is Oxford like Hogwarts?

October 1, 2018

Not really… Looks can be deceiving. When our program went to Oxford to spend the week, we had somewhat of a rough week. It was still a good experience, but Oxford has a sense and feeling about it that is unlike any place I have ever been. It is very cold and studious. It is …

For my second Design Assignment, I decided to do the Destination Post Card Assignment (3 stars). I spent a lot of time buying, writing, and looking at post cards in the various cities I went to while I was abroad, so I thought this would be fun! I went to my Facebook to see what …

October 1, 2018

For my first assignment of the week, I decided to do the Character Word Cloud (2 stars) for Ella. I was excited about this assignment because I enjoy word clouds and think they are cool for the design elements but also for what they are able to show you. I went to wordclouds.com to create this …

It was Designed that Way…

October 1, 2018

It was interesting to notice the difference between The Vignelli Canon and Brain Pickings article about Kidd and his book. Part of the reason Kidd created his book was probably because of literature such as The Vignelli Canon that uses bigger words and is more academic in nature. I felt like Kidd’s book and the article about it …

Scariest Week so Far!

September 28, 2018

This was definitely the scariest week for me so far. I have been dreading the audio week and have been nervous about it from the beginning. I have never done any sort of audio editing and had never used Audacity or SoundCloud before this class… It ended up turning out pretty alright. I started the …

I had some fun with the Daily Creates this week! First, I finally was able to download GIMP (of course, after photography week…), so I used it for my first Daily Create! As soon as I saw this prompt, I knew I wanted to do a version of the Scream with someone from pop culture …

I am intrigued by the idea of creating our own radio show… as well as a little nervous for what it might entail. Some ideas I had about what we could possibly do are: King Arthur through the centuries. I learned a lot about the different stories about King Arthur that have been told throughout …

I was a little worried about this Create a DS106 Radio Bumper activity at first, but it ended up being kind of fun. I was overwhelmed with the week as a whole because I have no experience with audio editing or recording, but taking it piece by piece has been helpful. At first, I thought …

I love quotes, so when I saw the Quote with a New Feeling Assignment (2.5 stars), I knew it was one that I would want to do. I then started thinking about it and realized that it could be a good one to use Ella Maguire for. I think quotes are really helpful and can represent …

Taking it Back

September 26, 2018

I felt like I was in the 50’s or 60’s this week with the live “tweet-along.” It was not because of the tweeting but rather the radio show. In the 50’s or 60’s, popular radio shows would be played in the evenings of weekdays, much like TV shows now. I have heard of people doing …

I really enjoyed the Ted Talk Pronunciation Practice Assignment (3 stars). It was right up my alley. I enjoy public speaking and presenting to others, so I enjoyed this activity. I first watched through the video, pausing every few seconds to type out the script of what the presenter was saying because I was unable …

I spent the summer working in NYC, so taking the subway was a common activity of mine. I got used to the hustle and bustle both above and below the streets of NYC, the swiping of MetroCards, and of course the rush of subways coming in. For my first Visual Assignment, Sound Effects Story (3.5 …

September 23, 2018

I would consider Audio Storytelling one of the oldest forms of storytelling, if not the oldest. Telling stories verbally with words is such an old practice that connects us back to humans centuries ago. I get what Abumrad meant when he said he hopes and thinks that radio will never die. In a sense, I …
