We made it to the end guys!!! This is my is my final summary post and it is really kind of bittersweet that this semester has reached its end, and I can’t believe that 16 flew back this quickly!
DS106 was really intimidating at first and I had no idea …

I think the creator of this daily create really hit the nail on the head with this one. What a cool way to reflect on our time in DS106. I definitely feel like I have learned so much!
Seriously… who knew I might actually be good at creating something in this class?! Almost as badass as Will Smith taking on some weird zombie dudes.
Making videos takes a lot of time, but I really love how many options I have and how creative I could …

Top 20 Amazing Cinematic Techniques Part 1 (*Long take, steady cam)
I watched the above short videos about filmmaking and I never realized until after how filmmaking techniques really make a huge difference in how we …
“Apocalyptic Airwave” is done and our broadcast went great! My group put in so much effort and the process it took piecing it together would not have been successful without them.
So spring break was awesome! I traveled to Florida for a wedding and spent tons of time with family soaking up the sun. With only 54 days left until graduation…. SAY WHAT?! …. I have been really stressed and the break was much needed.
When I got back from break, …
This is the lost and found poster I created for Professor Burtis’ hat and I really hope it can help her to find it! HOW TRAGIC… IT HAS BEEN A STAPLE IN THIS CLASS
This is the design I created for my characters name, it is a little more psychedelic …
Honestly, the dog in this book is the most important character, he deserves to be on the cover and also I wanted to portray its about zombies lol. Without a companion of some sort I think the apocalypse would be much harder to get through

Here is a compilation of my absolute favorite sounds! I love hearing my horse call out to me in excitement, the waves crashing down on the beach from the ocean, the sound of birds on the first sunny, spring morning and the timer on the oven letting me know the …
First off… this is reallyyy reallyyy cool! Love this site. I think the creators chose audio as the medium because I think it allows the listener to create their own images of who is behind the voice and fully immerse themselves in the stories. I think adding video would distort …
How are you feeling? Be specific.
I am just getting over being very sick last week and just like Professor Burtis said… I think I feel better now than I did before I was sick! I feel like I have more energy and appreciate being able to breathe through my …
Before this class, I had zero experience with audio and it has honestly been pretty intimidating. I really like how Jad Abumrad paints this picture in my head without pictures in his description about the importance of connecting through radio. Co-imagining is a really cool concept that I had never …
My name is Sarah Thatcher and I grew up in small town in Southhampton County, Virginia. My parents owned a cattle farm with many other animals like horses and chickens and pigs, there I learned the importance of a strong work ethic and protecting the family. My father was the …
This week was definitely the most fun I have had so far and I might be a little obsessed with GIFs now! I learned some super cool things that intimidated me a little at first… like the juxtapose… but after reading through help from my classmates I conquered this week …
Photography and Narratives:
Pictures are a great way to help tell a story through imagery and scenery that portray emotions or events. I am excited to get into the photography portion of our course and start adding characters and conflicts to the journey through my pictures.
I chose …
Tips For Better Photography Page:
There were several tips that really helped me change the way I think about taking photos. One in particular was “change my perspective by changing yours”. I took this awesome photo while I was at work from an angle I wouldn’t normally consider, but I …
Weekly Reflection:
This week really helped me get into the creative spirit in an apocalyptic sense. I am not very familiar with this subject matter but after reading some short stories and diving into my novel “I Am Legend” I have really acclimated to it.
It has made it easier …
My dad is my biggest inspiration. He is such a kind, giving, and intelligent man. He has built his life around his faith and strength in his family. He built a successful, commercial construction company from the ground up, enduring and recovering from two massive heart attacks and numerous other …
Last night my mom and I fell asleep watching a sad movie. I think it was sad because she was crying, so I snuggled her and licked her face. Her tears were really salty. I really don’t know why she was so upset but I am worried about her. I …
Review:
This 4-person emergency kit was VITAL to our survival during the apocalypse. It helped me and three of my loved ones get by while we figured out how to establish ourselves and find other survivors. I highly recommend this to anyone trying to prepare themselves. It included food, water, …
The ending of this short story was so sad to me… I really wanted the house to survive so this is how I would rewrite it:
Five o’clock. The baths filled with warm water, for the children needed to take baths. “Bathtime! Bathtime!” The house sung awaiting the squeals of …
I am SO thankful for the following things:
Family Friends Health Opportunity to get a higher education My dogs and horse that make my days a little easierHere is my ten second drawing of myself:
…
For this assignment I chose to read “Finis” and “There Will Come Soft Rains”, two very different short stories with a very similar end where there are no survivors.
Finis was very hard to follow and had poor grammar and spelling that was a little distracting, but I tried …
