Hey guys and gals!
This has been an audio kind of week! For this week we were required to make at least 3 audio assignments totaling at least 8 stars. Audio assignments are available from the Audio Assignments Bank on the DS106 website. The main point of these assignments was …
One of this week’s assignment was to listen to a full Podcast and try to really catch the radio techniques that were being used. The official assignment was this: Overall, how effective do you think audio was for telling the story(ies)? What types of audio techniques did the …
Hey guys and gals!
For this assignment, we had to listen to some ideas and tips about what radio is, how good radio is made, and what it’s for. The assignment instructions and videos are all found on Mrs. Polack’s DS106 webpage. HERE.
To start I would like to …
Hey everybody!
Todays DailyCreate was to write a concrete poem. A concrete poem is one in which the placing of the words builds a picture or somehow visually describes the poem or the theme of the poem. I did a poem about the beauty of having not just a house, …
Hey everyone!
Today’s dailycreate was to post a picture that evoked an emotion. I really love these kind of photography things and because my dog is so amazing, I immediately grabbed his adorable snout and snapped a photo.

Hey guys and gals!
First daily create of the fourth week! We needed to come up with a sequel to a book cover that was posted. It was called “Suck it up Buttercup”, so I figured the next installment should deal with the political correctness frenzy.
Hey guys and gals,
Another week complete. Soon, i’ll have a whole month done! Doing okay and learning a great deal.
To be honest, I can’t say I learned anything new. My notion on story telling hasn’t changed from what I thought it was in my “thoughts and ideas” post …
As I scrolled through the various Daily Creates, I began to worry that I wouldn’t find two pictures that I could make an interesting story out of. Luckily, it did’t take very long to build the idea. I saw the picture of the shoes and liked it immediately because they …
Hey guys!
This daily create required a 1 minute video of how my life would be in 2065. I will be 75 years old and I would be a peaceful grandma. I would like to garden and sweep the sit in my chair to enjoy the serenity of nature. With …
Hey guys and gals!
For this assignment, we had to choose to do one of the following:
Tell a Story in Five Frames is a group in flickr that you can join to add a story that consists of only a title and 5 photos, no text. You can share …
Hey guys!
I looked through some of the previous projects and stopped with THIS one because it gave me the exact example of a multimedia digital story that I needed to further understand what digitally storytelling is. I like it because it takes a theme that nearly everybody knows and …
Hello everybody!
Kurt Vonnegut’s PRESENTATION was short but so very funny and entertaining! This was a very fun ASSIGNMENT as well because most stories really do fall under the categories that he described. When Vonnegut began describing the story shape that includes a character rising from depression, to a happy …
Hey guys and gals!
Another daily create posted!
I had to try very hard not to re-draw this a thousand times because if something isn’t perfect, I have an anxiety attack (yes, I am indeed that person)

Mediterranean Mermaid
Some children, with their endless capabilities to imagine, splashed around in a pond or a pool and believed it to be the vastness of the ocean. For me, that pond was the sea and it was, in fact, my front yard. I did not understand that as a …
Good evening guys and gals,
For me, storytelling has different categories and requirements for each category. For example, there is storytelling via fiction or non-fiction novels, there is story telling via movies or picture or art, and there is storytelling which occurs between people who are sitting around a warm …
Hey guys and gals!
Below is my daily create for 9/9/2016. The poetry idea is really cool and I read some previous people’s responses and they were very creative. In general, I dislike poetry. Probably because I am convinced that my poetry sucks. I do like Walt Whitman though.
Hey gals and guys! Week two is complete and it’s time to reflect:
How well do you feel you completed the requirements of the week’s assignments? What gave you trouble? What did you enjoy most? What did you learn? What would you do differently? What questions to you have? What…
I assumed this talk would be very similar to Campbell’s presentation in the sense that Michael Wesch would most likely dive deeper into the emerging cyber-world and the importance in finding a place in it. After listening to his presentation, I came away with the main idea …
Reflection of a Face-Lift
Based on the title, I expected the reading and the conference video to be about either the importance of building your “own space” on the web or about HOW to build it. I honestly didn’t think it would be anything too entertaining but I did believe …
Howdy Folks!
Finally, I have settled on a GIF. This assignment was torturous: let’s dive into the details.
The ASSIGNMENT Say it Like Peanut Butter
First and foremost, the GIF.
The BACKGROUND
This is that amazingly, famous scene from the Titanic where Rose Bukater (played by Kate Winslet) and …
Week one is a few hours from the end and with the help of many cookies and large cups of coffee, I have made it in one piece and have “successfully” (to be determined by the grade I receive) completed the assignments.
Happiness looks like this:
Now, let’s discuss this …
Good Afternoon all!
So much Digital Storytelling work to do. Time to meditate.
My name is Maryna Matorina and I am a senior biology major at the University of Mary Washington. If anybody is wondering why my site name is “pgrusski”, it’s because I was born in the Ukraine and …
Testing, testing.
I have never simultaneously created so many social media accounts.
Oh, excuse me. I believe I see an award coming my way:
“Digital Multitasking of the Highest Caliber 2015”
Why is everything so white and bland….…
