Miyazaki films are some of my favorite movies, particularly Spirited Away. The film follows Chihiro and her journey trapped in a world of spirits. I actually haven’t seen this movie in several years, so I went back and rewatched it for this assignment. I was a little worried that the film wouldn’t live up to […]

Week three going strong! I am now very comfortable with how I am updating and running my website, so I am more focused on the content I am viewing and creating, which came at the perfect time of this class taking that step too. I hate writing. I am a math major, so writing papers… Continue reading Week Three Summary

Given that our theme is “What’s (y)our Story?”, I feel as if that means “What are you?” or “Who are you”. How do you want your story to be told online. As any person can truly be any person they want to, this c...

I received a comment from AJ Storm on my post “ A snow day(dream) : a story in five photos”. You can read the comment on my post, it was really interesting because of the connection to a news story in West Virgina. The story was called “Forget Virtual learning, go have a snow day”. I read the […]

This week I followed the ds106 Daily create account on Twitter and participated in four daily create posts. On Saturday I participated in a collaborative poetry assignment by Wendy Taleo. The idea of the assignment was to work on a google doc and add one line of poetry in a round-robin online form. The title of the poem […]

I’ve really struggled with how to interpret this theme; it’s the reason I’ve been putting off this post. I assumed the theme had to be relevant to my school work or who I am as a student, but that is not my story. My story is being written when I am home, when I go […]

“How was your day/work/school?”“Well, my friend/boss/teacher said…” “What do you do for a living?”“I’m a … and we are currently working on a big project.” Conversation starters usually lead one way or another to a story. Oftentimes, Person A is so involved in the story that Person B can’t help but get caught in their …

I was tasked to come up with a theme for both the DS106 class, but also myself, and I think I have a pretty good idea on where we can take the “What’s (Y)our Story” theme. You see, everyone is at a different point in their life. Whether it be spiritually, literally, academically, health-wise, age–you… Continue reading What’s (Y)our Story?

What’s my story? What’s my story? In all honesty, I’m not really sure. I think that collectively, we are all sort of living through the same story in that a global pandemic completely rerouted our learning and living experiences. DS106 and creating things online really gives us a chance to reach each other virtually and…

When I first read the theme for Digital Storytelling this semester, I felt sparks of excitement. I love reading and writing stories, both on my own and with others.

We’ve all heard some saying about how everyone is unique or different. Cliches saying only you can forge your path are also popular. Our stories are forged by both unforseeable events as well as the choices we make. I think an interesting take on this theme includes not only showing why we are passionate about […]

Choosing long term themes for a class like this always terrifies me because I don’t want to get bored and burnt out of a topic. I have countless examples of projects I’ve wanted to do but didn’t stick with them because I didn’t have the motivation to keep working on the same thing for longer […]

I think this theme can be used now more than ever. As we are in uncertain times right now, sharing and listening to everyone’s stories will hopefully inspire others to push through and come out the other side a brighter person. 2020 was a rough year for me as I lost relatives, had a severe broken leg, and it was […]
