Weekly Summary 3
I was excited to get this week rolling when I first noticed that we had to pick just writing assignments. I love writing, and though I sometimes could be a horrible writer, it has always been a form of releasing some stress. So as much as these were assignments, this was also a way to … -
Weekly Summary: Week 3
This week was a little challenging for me because it required a lot of writing, and I don’t enjoy writing that much, and it is not one of my strong suits. However, I do enjoy reflecting, and this week involved a decent amount of reflecting, so I enjoyed that. My most challenging task I had […] -
Weekly 2 Summary
Generally speaking, I think this week went pretty well! I think I’m getting the hang of this class little by little. I enjoyed that we got to pick assignments of our interest from the assignment bank, and I had a blast with the audio assignment! And overall this seems to be a very fun, yet … -
Warming up: Week 2
Summary of building relationships and blogs, and an overview of my creations this week! -
Weekly Summary 2
This week seemed like it was going to be a lot of work, but honestly, it wasn’t so bad. I thoroughly enjoyed doing the activities I chose to do and thinking up of things for the daily create. I wasn’t exactly sure what was expected of me for this week, but being able to pick … -
Weekly Summary: Week 2
This week, I really went out of my comfort zone in building on my creative side with these assignments, but they were a lot of fun. However, the toughest challenge I faced was managing WordPress and customizing my site to just they way I wanted it. I was constantly changing my theme to find one […] -

Weekly Summary- Week 5
This was our final week for CPSC 106 for the summer. I’ve gotta say, I have really enjoyed being able to creatively express myself through different forms of media and learn different techniques that I have been otherwise afraid of trying. Audio was not my best form, as it was a bit tricky at times.… -
Summer Week 5
This was great week to put all of my talents I learned in DS106 into one Final Project. I used […] -
Final Weekly Summary
FINAL WEEK IS OVER! I noticed that everything is due on Friday rather than Sunday, so I got started right away with my story. I wrote a lot. This was definitely the most exciting part of the class, writing our own story for the final. I have always loved watching the Harry Potter series, so […] -
Final Weekly Summary
My final project is here and the tutorials are here. I feel like I learned a lot in class, mostly breaking down different forms of media into respective elements and then analyzing those elements and why they help add to the story. For an example, see my analysis of the cutscene after Cayde-6 from Destiny […] -
weekly summary: the finale
Five weeks have come and gone, DS106. We have learned and advanced our skills on multiple digital platforms. For my final project, I wanted to twist a character in a story that I am already familiar with. I looked at my shelf of DVDs and thought –... -
Action!
This week was all about video. I was able to manipulate and create my own video clips as well as learn about the techniques used in cinematography and video editing. I really enjoyed learning about different ways to manipulate scenes to fit how you wanted the narrative of whatever story you are telling. My favorite … Continue reading "Action!" -
Weekly Summary- Week 4
This week we were tasked with learning about different ways to create video by analyzing and researching movies and video clips. Overall, I had a really fun time this week! This was way easier for me than audio, and proved to be fun to create something from scratch that turned out okay in the end!… -
Weekly Summary 4
I’m going to be real for a second, I feel like I’ve been in a slump this week. But worry not, I was able to finish everything for this week! For starters, I learned about “reading” movies. I looked more into the editing/filming techniques. Though I learned that in one of my assignments, I misused […] -
Summer Week 4
This week was a little difficult for me as I was on vacation in Las Vegas, however, video is probably […] -
weekly summary 4
We are almost there, DS106! I really enjoyed this week, video. I love films, YouTube, all of it. But instead of watching them, I was the one making them this week! Take a look at what I did: -
Weekly Summary 3
This week was all about audio and how that aspect can really help create or change a story. I’ll have to admit, this has not been my most favorite topic to study. I wasn’t (and still aren’t) very good at the Audacity software and learning the ways of creating audio. I liked being able to… -
Weekly Summary 3
The assignments for this week were all very new to me because I think I am the most unfamiliar with Sound Storytelling. I am glad that there were several examples and resources to look at. At the beginning of the week, I started watching Ira Glass and Jad Abumrad explain the basics of sound storytelling. […] -
Week 3 Summary
I did enjoy the audio portion which is week 3! Audio editing does take a while to complete, however, I had previous experience with audacity -
Can you hear me now?
Week three is completed! I think that this week was my favorite so far. Audio production is something that has fascinated me for a long time, whether it has to do with music or radio shows. I really enjoyed learning about the processes that go into producing podcasts and other forms of audio entertainment. I … Continue reading "Can you hear me now?" -
Weekly Summary for Week 3
The Daily Creates are here, here, here, and here. My thoughts on storytelling with audio are here, and my assignments are here, here, here, and here. Nothing felt overly difficult to me at least (probably because I’ve had some experience with audio engineering and music production before), and while I am a musician, even ignoring […] -
Summer Week 3
I know the professor had mentioned in her intro video and also in an email that this week is a […] -
A Halvetica Good Time
I found this week to be very interesting. After reading The Vignelli Canon and many of the design resources for the week, I began to realize the importance of design in everyday life. I now notice design elements and choices in everyday items like bottles and containers. I will continue to use the resources given … Continue reading "A Halvetica Good Time" -
Weekly Summary 3
OK, this week was better than I expected. I can honestly say audio is not my favorite technology, but this was better than I thought it would be. I can see why people can have such different views on this week – if you plan to continue on this pa... -
Wow!
I decided to take this class several days after it had begun. I enjoy the type of work the class covers so was not worried about taking it online while living 3 hours away. Well, I quickly began to feel overwhelmed as I tried to catch up the mid-week assignment and do week 1. I … Continue reading "Wow!" -
Weekly Summary- Week Two
This week was full of learning about concepts of design. I was able to learn about Vignelli, who was a master of design, and read articles discussing different design concepts and what does and doesn’t make a good design! I felt I was able to accomplish most of my assignments this week, completing everything besides… -
Week 2 Summary
Week 2 required a bit more work than I thought, and I missed a few of the assignments that I did not realize I had -
Weekly Summary 2
To be honest, this week has been a bit overwhelming. I made the mistake of thinking that I had more time than I actually did. But I am thankful that I was able to complete all of the assignments. I started by reading through all of the assignments for the week. I began looking into […]
