LAST DAY OF THIS CLASS!!! This class challenged me in ways that I was not prepared for. For instance, the amount of work that was required to complete this class blew me away. Some of the assignments were interesting and challenged me in a good way, but others I felt …
This final project was really hard for me to brainstorm to be able to say that it was worth a final project without rigid guidelines. I settled on the idea of using a custom Google Map as suggested by the instructions, and I remembered from freshman year in my FSEM …
The weeks are coming to a close for the semester, and I could not be more excited. This week was challenging with all of the projects I had to complete and work. This project was at the back of my mind all week because I could not decided what I …
This week was not so bad for this class. Other factors in my life like other school classes, medical decisions, work schedule, and my daily stress has made this week hard for me. I am feelin the pressure of these final weeks with teachers piling on their final projects and …
For this mashup assignment, I decided to do:
“Create a poster or ad for an upcoming movie. Let the ad’s theme and movie contradict themselves.”

This remix assignment was built upon an earlier assignment I did this semester featuring Dua Lipa. The remix instruction are:
I almost laughed out loud when I saw these instructions. My parents enjoy their movie content to be VERY clean. That is totally cool, but they still think I am …
The daily creates were not interesting this week, but I am thankful to be done.
The first prompt for daily create was to respond with the DS106 agent. I looked up gif for a spy and saw this gif! I thought it was perfect for this response.
For this remix, I decided to build off of my computer program I did the first week of this class.
The remix instructs to do the opposite of what the instruction says. Check out my simple program here! To remix, I decided to do a program that requires user …
Fourth of July. Thanksgiving. Christmas. All in a cafeteria?
I followed the assignment here! I first thought of some fun characters from the holidays and put them into a cafeteria/school setting. The turkey (Thanksgiving) represents the lunch workers. The Grinch is the kid who does not want to be …
I was impressed with everyone’s ideas for their final project. Everyone seems to have a firm grasp at their own ideas and they want to do for their final project. I, on the other hand, am having a hard time deciding what to do for my final project. Though the …
For my video project, I decided to do a video about my favorite things excluding family and friends to avoid asking everyone for their permission. I decided to settle on my everyday life things like my cats, baking, dogs, and my garden. These things are important to me, and they …
The first daily create was to post a garden that I love. When I saw this prompt, I immediately thought of my personal garden that I grew.

The first daily create was to respond to a prompt that “We are Makers”. I immediately thought about the garden that I started with my friend over the weekend. I am making a garden for my own enjoyment and for my mom!
This was a particular hard assignment for me to complete. I enjoyed reading the material to learn about video production, but it was hard for me to implement the learned skills on a movie.
To begin this assignment, I spent a lot of time setting up the video program to …
For my video, I decided to make a video dedicated to some of my favorite things. I am not a fan of being on camera, but I do have lots of pictures of my favorite things: cooking, baking, gardening, my cats, and more TBD. It applies to our theme of …
There are so many ideas that we could do for video production. I think personally for me, I will do what I did for the radio show. See what ideas people have and join the group that I feel most comfortable with working on that topic. I really enjoyed doing …
For this assignment, I first put Dua Lipa singing in a barn full of horses. I still love that post, and I decided to put Dua in a new place. For this idea, I took a black and white photo and put her in the most colorful background that I …

This week was slower than other weeks in this class, and I am thankful for the slowed down pace to catch my breathe.
To start this week, I listened to radio shows that my peers produced. I originally planned to listen to one show, but after having so much fun …
On Tuesday, March 23 I listened to two radio shows: Operation Childhood-Radio Show, Stories of Our Stories: a trip down memory lane
Operation Childhood-Radio Show:
I really enjoyed this radio show. Their transitions and commercials were so smooth and the commercials were really well done. I enjoyed hearing each one …
This week felt slow in this class. I was fortunate that Lucy volunteered to edit the whole radio show together. This means that I had to complete my part of the show which I completed toward the earlier part of the week. I was very thankful for this as my …
Check out the completed radio show below. It was so much fun recording this with Lucy and Cailyn. Lucy was willing to edit the whole radio show for our group.
Let me know what you think below!…
The first daily create was to edit the picture to show me on the moon. I prefer to keep my face off of the internet when it comes to this class. I decided to edit one of the dogs that I dog sit into this picture. I got this idea …
This week, my group decided to record un-University on Zoom. This allowed us to be flexible with the times that we could meet. This also allowed us to feel safe while recording the podcast, and it took out the factors of having to record audio through a mask.
We had …
This week seemed less hectic than other weeks in this class. This did not mirror my other classes, and my week felt very hectic as a result. It was very interesting working in a group this week.
To start, I wrote about the progress of the radio show that I …
For this assignment, I created an old computer commercial for my radio show. I was anticipating doing a commercial for a modern day laptop that would keep in line with the theme of college life in the pandemic, but I had a hard time finding commercials that had words …
For this audio assignment, I decided to make a transition for our upcoming radio show that is focused on college during a pandemic. Every movie I have seen about an epidemic/pandemic always has that part when the main character is surrounded by multiple news sources, at the same time, …
