Weekly Summary 2
This week was a bit difficult, but I enjoyed the assignments. I definitely played with some new activities that I otherwise wouldn’t have attempted. Looking through examples on the assignment bank and other blogs can really help spark your imagin... -
Week 1 Summary
Here is the first daily create, the second daily create, and the third daily create. In addition, here is my photo safari. The last things here are my personal assignments for the week (a noble house, a camp poster, an edited game cover, and a spubble). I feel like the assignments for this week were […] -
Weekly Summary: Week One
This week I learned countless new skills: how to register for a domain/subdomain, creating and editing a WordPress site, using different apps (Collageable, Juxatpose, Dropbox), and how to link all of these different mediums to create a single source to view them all (this post!). My week started with a reflection on my favorite part […] -
Weekly Summary 1
I have always liked taking photos, but I never really thought about the different elements that went along with it. I enjoyed learning about the tips and tricks into making me a better photographer. I was having trouble trying to make a photo gallery on Flickr. I figured that to put my photos from the […] -
Weekly Summary May 26
This week was very intense with the amount of work that needed to be done. While it was all mostly fun and interesting to do, it was all very time consuming because I am doing the work while also teaching myself how to work the different applications. The first assignment of exploring the different tips … Continue reading "Weekly Summary May 26" -
Weekly Summary- Week One
For our first week, we were tasked with many projects, like creating our own websites and various visual assignments. The main goal of the week was to get a hang of creating our own online presence, and the class in general. Overall, I feel as though I did a relatively decent job completing all of… -
Weekly Summary 1
This week focused on an introduction to photography, which I really enjoyed. I love taking and editing pictures, but am no expert photographer. This week I practiced some new photography skills in visual assignments and more. Here’s my summary fr... -
Summer End of Week 1
I won’t lie, trying to cram all this fun learning into one week is a bit of a challenge. That […] -
Midweek 1 Summary
Setting up the social media was very easy, though I am not very active on Twitter, so learning that will be somewhat difficult (especially considering a tweet can’t be edited.) Setting up the domain very easy, though I am still learning WordPress so using the blog was more difficult. My customization experience was mostly looking […] -
An Introduction
Hello there. I'm Jacob. I am a big fan of games like the Elder Scrolls, Dark Souls, and the Destiny and Halo franchises which are known for their stories. -
DS106: Complete
by @christinac106 April 26, 2019Who would have thought we’d finally reach the end of the road. The journey here in ds106 has been long, but informative, insightful, and indescribable. I have learned far more than I could have ever mustered up at the beginning of the semester. From video to audio, design, photography, and more I’ve learned and explored […] -
Final Countdown
Wow, just one more week left here in ds106! It’s crazy to look back and see all that I have accomplished and learned within this thrilling and liberating semester. Now just one last task lies ahead… our final mission. Our final mission is ultimately our final project here in ds106, one last thing in between […] -
Mission 12: Complete
Closer and closer to the end we come! This week was all about mashups and remixes. Probably like everyone else I am familiar with the two, however something I learned this week was the true distinction between the two. For anyone who is curious at what the difference is… a mashup refers to the mixing […] -
Mission 11: Complete
by @christinac106 April 5, 2019Week 11 is complete and I can’t help but think about how close we are to the end of the semester. It’s hard to imagine what this past couple of months would have been like without ds106. Unlike last week this week was much more relaxed for me. I am so glad I decided to […] -
Mission 10: Complete
Another week has come to an end and I feel like I am finally getting the hang of this whole video thing. This week specifically was dedicated to video and how filming techniques really create stories. We’ve previously looked at design, photography, audio, etc and sought to comprehend how that sets up storytelling. However by […] -
Mission 9: Complete
Another busy week completed here in digital storytelling 106. Since turning in our radio show projects last week, this week came in full force with a heavy, but exciting work load. Our main focus this week was exploring the web and the storytelling that’s told within it. In order to learn web storytelling we were […] -
Mission 8: Complete
by @christinac106 March 14, 2019Another week down and a radio show complete! vvSurprisingly this was the first week of ds 106 where I felt I wasn’t engulfed with numerous projects or work. This week was really dedicated to finishing our radio shows and further producing content to fill it. Before diving into to what was done in terms of […] -
A Picture is not the whole Story, but a really good excerpt.
by @carrie_vogel March 1, 2019I took a little bit longer on this unit for Digital Storytelling than I have the others. I want to say it was that I was not entirely wanting to do all the extra assignments but in reality, I was neglecting my knitting projects and I had too much fun m... -

Mission 7: Complete
Spring break is finally here and I can’t believe we’re already half way through the semester! This week flew by with the assigned radio show project handed out at the beginning of the week. Since most of this week was focused on making progress in that particular area I think I can say it was […] -
Week 6 Summary
I have to say this has been my favorite week so far in DS106! I have always wanted to improve my graphic design skills and this definitely helped me! The Design Assignments I chose this week were really fun to complete! I created a minimalist movie po... -
Mission 6: Complete
Three cheers for finishing another week in ds106 and even bigger cheers for learning about design! This week we tackled the idea of design and how it further shapes or constructs the stories we tell. Since the beginning of the semester I found myself very preoccupied with this class, don’t worry I still am. However […] -
Mission 5: Complete
Audio, audio, audio, audio, audio, audio, and more… AUDIO. This week if you couldn’t tell was all about audio and the way it tells stories. Often times we combine audio and visual work to create the ultimate story. Having said that we frequently forget that audio and visual work can tell stories apart from one […] -
Not What is Typed is all the Hype
I’ve already said it before, that anxiety wall of recording my own voice was spectacular! I mean that once I finally did the radio bump, it was done and now its all gone. I definitely have a life motto that’s grown over the years: Just get ... -

A Good Story Told is an Experience. A story is an experience, something that draws you in and holds you close. the medium of the story can boost the effectiveness of that story such as Dog Walk video or the pictures that speak volumes. These stories, b... -
Mission 4: Complete
At this point I’m going to stop saying this was another busy week in ds106 because lets face it, it’ll always be busy. No complaints however, I like the constant rigor this course demands of me and am excited every week to explore the digital world a bit more. I believe I am starting to […] -
Nuggets of Wisdom: is it art?
by @carrie_vogel February 4, 2019Recently I enjoyed some good humor that included a great discussion on what makes art a real piece of artwork? Now I’ve lived my entire schooling career up through college with some focus on creating and contemplating art itself, and I found thes... -
Mission 3: Complete
Well, another spy filled week is under my belt and I have to say this was a busy, but fun one for sure. Similar to last week I got to participate in numerous assignments and activities that helped establish who I am as a secret agent even more. I decided to start the week off […]
