Today is not the only time society has dealt with a pandemic. Our class theme is to relate assignments to the 1980’s and that is what I did. The 1980’s had its share of pandemics and some scary ones at
80’s Pandemic For my final project, I’ve decided to concentrate on the 80’s pandemic specifically the measles, HIV, and pneumonic outbreak. I’ve done a little reading on CDC’s timeline of the three outbreaks and I think I have enough materials
As you might have guessed from the bava recently, there’s something in the air besides COVID-19, namely the #ds106 reunion tour 10 years on! I’m not entirely sure how or why, but I am glad it’s happening, and I am … Continue reading →
Last week I talked with Lauren Heywood and Bryan Mathers on #ds106radio, and I had a blast both times. I started thinking why aren’t we doing more of this at Reclaim Hosting given #ds106 and Reclaim go together like chocolate … Continue reading →
This is a two and a half hour tour-de-force of a free-ranging discussion about radio, art, and much more between myself and the great visual thinkerer: Bryan Mathers. My relationship with Bryan goes back to chance encounter in 2015 when … Continue reading →
My favorite holidays are the 4th of July, Thanksgiving, and Halloween! I know technically halloween isn’t a holiday, but I think it counts as a cultural celebration? Enjoy!
Interesting Week TDÇs Mashup Assignments Remix Commenting on Other Posts Posts of the Week Completed via form. Summary This week was a bit easier. Thank you! The only frustrating part was not getting soundcloud to cooperate but I went around
Thriller vs. Comedy For this remix assignment, I chose to mix two 80’s film and audio together. The trailer is of the movie Hitcher, a thriller movie and a comedy audio of planes, trains, and automobiles. I used Quicktime to
Billie Jean vs. Uptown Funk I recorded songs onto Quicktime from YouTube videos of Billie Jean and UpTown Funk. I converted the files to mp3 since they were saved as M4A files. Then I uploaded them onto audicity. I didn’t
I Believe by Cher I created this assignment from the Mashup Assignment for 5 stars. I used my iPhone to create an emoji of a self close-up. It was actually kind of fun. Then I looked through our music to
Who doesn’t love Molly Ringwald?! I completed a 4 star Mashup Assignment to mix together video clips of Molly Ringwald in 80’s films. I took several clips from the 3 movies; Pretty in Pink, Sixteen Candles, and Breakfast Club. I
This showed up this morning: I, for one, would like to thank the Queen for making her royal address and providing the nation with something it sorely needs right now… The perfect Photoshop bait… pic.twitter.com/dU0CIATWs1 — Peter Chiykowski respects the … Continue reading →
The #ds106radio has been on fire recently, and I am not going to lie: it gives me a lot of joy and hope in a strange moment. A lot of first timers are jumping on (tune in tonight (day? morning?) … Continue reading →
Since it’s remix/mashup week, I thought I’d take another shot at putting words to music. I guess I got the idea from the OER20 conference. I listened to some of it with ds106radio playing in the background, and once I … Continue reading →
It's been awhile so forgive me for the long post but I feel I have to write something in the age of Zoom and remote emergency teaching because I am hearing a lot of horror stories coming from parents about what has been sent home and how much screen ti...
I spent a lot of time on my other two assignments so I did a quick fun one for my last video assignment for the week! This time-lapse is my niece and I burying my older brother in the sand! Enjoy!
I went way over board on this assignment and it took me hours to finish it so I didn’t want to cut the time down, but I had so much fun making this! The assignment was to select scenes from 3-5 movies that changed your life or made some sort of dramatic, traumatic, lasting, or … Continue reading "Impactful Movie Scenes"
So I changed this assignment up a little bit because I love Margot Robbie and she’s great in all her movies, but the other scenes I wanted to use were kind of inappropriate. Originally the assignment was to create a 30 to 60 second highlight reel of your favorite Actor/Actress with their most enjoyable movie … Continue reading "Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn!"
I had some of these clips I filmed last year when I had hip surgery. I decided to finally turn it into a video. I made a highlight tape of tricks I was able to learn while I was on crutches. It was fun splicing all of these clips in to make a little bit … Continue reading "Inspirational Movie"

More Brainstorming To add to the pandemic brainstorming below, I would add more to footage such as what did society do to adapt, did it have an impact on today’s society, and commercials could be to possibly be prepared for
80’s film Looking through the video bank assignments, I found remaking of movie intros, 3.5 stars. I thought this could be fun. I thought which 80s film could I possibly remake so I chose Top Gun. I looked for fighter
Quick Intro to Tamale Making This 3.5 star assignment was not exactly planned. My son had wanted Tamales and suggested I should record it for his grandma. So, this is how the assignment came about. It’s a short 4 minute
#ElwayTebowJakePeyton For video assignments this week, I chose a 3 star assignment to make small videos and pictures of our dogs. It was kind of hard, I had to keep remembering to keep my phone on me to capture their
This week’s overview was interesting. I read the Ebert essay and even read another that was hyperlinked within his that details the discovery of a chair movement within Citizen Kane that he has missed for 30 years of doing shot by shots. I echoed this essay’s idea to my husband and he laughed, telling me […]
I laughed at this idea because this is basically my everyday life. In this assignment, you record a workout and share it with the world. This is something I normally do multiple times a week to stay accountable with my Street Parking family. When my brother visits, we make it a point to do a […]
I thought it would be fun to make a compilation of the pictures and video clips I loved that most from my daughter’s first year. I used open source music and used an app on my phone to upload my photos and videos. It allowed me to sort the photos and videos chronologically for the […]
