    My Very own TED Talk… Kind of

    by
    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 …

    Tweet-Along

    by
      This is my first time listening to a radio show, and my first time live tweeting! Tuning in, I've never listed to a radio show that wasn't music before! #ds106radio #ds106 — Richelle Holnick (@RichelleHolnick) September 26, 2018 Nope, never on the radio! Music only #ds106radio — Richelle Holnick (@RichelleHolnick) September 26, 2018 Oh, this isn’t Downton Abbey? Why does this remind me of Downton Abbey? #ds106radio — Richelle Holnick (@RichelleHolnick) September 26, 2018 Someone suggested it was the accents, which yes for sure, but also I do think it had a lot to do with the sound effects! Many were the same. Have you ever thought about beeps in movies/television/radio shows? I hadn’t, but now I can’t stop! Hospitals, airports, intercoms, various machines. Do you have any that you can think of? There are so many unique ones! That beep before he spoke over the Airport intercom was so iconic. I've never realized how many different beeps that exist in the world specific to certain places! #ds106radio — Richelle Holnick (@RichelleHolnick) September 26, 2018 So, I guess my attention span isn’t that great, or at least is very tied to visual things! I was finding it hard to concentrate on the story without having something to look at! Even a picture or drawing representing the show would have helped! Starring at the wall felt awkward, looking at everyone’s tweets was fine, but otherwise I kept being temped to just scroll on my computer. So, as a follow up, I asked what everyone was looking at! Is anyone else finding it hard to follow along when there's nothing to look at? My mind keeps wandering #ds106radio — Richelle Holnick (@RichelleHolnick) September 26, 2018 Follow up: What ARE you guys looking at? The wall? The computer? #ds106radio https://t.co/hsgygq8WO5 — Richelle Holnick (@RichelleHolnick) September 26, 2018 Then I actually tweeted about the content of the show again. I wasn’t quite sure what we were supposed to be tweeting about, so I just went with whatever came to mind through the hour! I was shocked that he would ask his brother’s fiance to run away with him! Wow that was BOLD Spider. Very bold #ds106 #ds106radio — Richelle Holnick (@RichelleHolnick) September 26, 2018 That wraps it up for my live tweeting! Listening to the radio like this was an interesting experience. I mostly (if ever now) use it for music, when I was younger I would sometimes listen to the talk shows on the radio in the morning while getting ready for school, but that was only the morning shows that they have on the music stations where they talk for a few minutes every once and awhile. I still remember it, Elvis and the morning show! On Q102 (a top 40 station based out of Philly). Thanks for reading and tweeting along with me!

    Daily Creates Week 5

    by
    On Monday I stated that I didn’t want to survive the apocalypse instead of stating what I would bring to my bunker to survive it. A bit pessimistic, but it’s the truth! Have you seen the walking dead? The Hunger Games? No thank you!! Then, I had to describe what my age was with a chronological metaphor. This is pretty obvious if you ask me! This is all I've done since my birthday #ds106 #tdc2449 pic.twitter.com/1BVoauSxxn — Richelle Holnick (@RichelleHolnick) September 26, 2018

    Bring It All Together I read an English fairy tale called Three Feathers. The main character started off as a normal wife with a husband that she never saw. She was curious about her husband and created a way to see him, then the story takes a turn. Her husband was a human but after …

    A Very Spidery Audio Drama!

    by
    On Monday (9/24), I participated in the first of the four live “tweet-alongs”. We listened to an audio drama-Anansi Boys. The actual process was pretty easy. I just sat at my computer (well, actually, I was lying down on my bed with my computer on my chest and stomach). Twitter is very quick and easy […]

    A Ghostly Siren

    The Noise I Made: The Original Audio I used: So, for this assignment, I used my roommate’s electric pencil sharpener as the noise to change. Not only is it something we all recognize (I’m everyone has heard an electric pencil sharpener), but it is a steady noise, which makes distorting it and make the noise […]

    Weekly Summary-Weeks 3&4

    by
    This is a combined weekly summary for weeks 3 & 4 because of Hurricane Florence. I wrote about what makes a story interesting.  I made a character named James.  She is not your typical superhero! I did three writing assignments. The first one is about the extras in the show Brooklyn 99. The second one is a letter to my future self (feels very applicable as I enter my final year of college.) The third writing assignment I did was a letter to my mother,(4 stars) from the point of view of my character James. I thought insight into her mother (and therefore childhood) would give some much needed backstory! The second week: I made daily creates!   I made a photoblitz! It was a bit unusual and I am not sure if I did it correctly-but I did my best. Some of them are kinda silly! For my assignments, I gave a room tour.  I introduced you to my family.  I showed you my “Places of Peace” I showed you my bucket list! James showed you what is in her bag.  These visual assignments were fun to do! I was able to find ones that all went together, so I liked having the consistency i what I made this week. The photoblitz was different and kind of stressful, but it made for some interesting photos! Lastly, I discussed if I am a photographer and analyzing videography and photography.
