This week was fun! I feel like we got to be more creative and interpret daily creates/ assignment banks however we wanted. I went out of order this week and started off with personalizing my blog and making it really reflect me. I chose to use a plant theme as my cover because I am …
Week 2 Daily Creates I started this week late due to family visiting my home and unfortunate events with my spouse’s vehicle, but when I finally checked in I was stoked to see the inclusion of the daily create. I wanted to participate in them, but it would slip my mind. Now that it is […]
What a week! I have learned and developed a lot of skills this week through the different assignments. I have really enjoyed diving more into our theme and finding ways to incorporate it into my different projects for this class. Photoshop has definitely been my favorite thing I’ve used this week. I was able to use my photoshopping skills in both my Daily Creates and Assignment Bank assignments. At the beginning of this week I was a bit nervous about the work load. It seemed a lot more challenging than the first week (which I should have assumed it would […]
Today marks the end of Week 2 on our DS106 journey for this semester, and now that the semester is slowly kicking into full gear, this old soul is wearing down. That said, this week has helped me to slowly adjust to how we do things in this course. I started my Friday of last […]
Weekly Summary, Week 2 Assignments This week, I chose a writing assignment, a mashup assignment, and a web assignment. I related my writing assignment and my mashup assignment to theContinue reading2 down, 14 to go
My Room is the best. Don’t @ me!

This week’s assignments were definitely a learning process for me. Since I’ve never been really part of the social media world, the daily creates using twitter was a change for me, it was fun. The 3 bank assignments were also
It’s been fun week learning the way around DS 106 . I am still getting used to the format of the class, figuring out where to find different assignments. I have learned that the DS 106 community is far and wide and there are a variety of different activities DS 106 students can take part […]
This is my weekly summary for the first week of ds106, which went by smoothly for the most part, but certainly with a little bit of a learning curve. I definitely got more confident and excited for the course as I worked through the assignments, going from overwhelmed and anxious to ridiculously excited and having […]
This week has been a wild ride. Usually the first week of classes are mainly reviewing the syllabus and securing textbooks but not this time, no way. The start of this semester started with creating and using my... Read More
This week was a really nice introduction week to what this course is going to be. We first started off by creating all the different account that we will be using in this class and made some introductions: I found this to be a fun time to be creative with my introductions and creating the … Continue reading "Week 1 Summary"
Oh gosh! Where to begin? via GIPHY Y’all, to say this was a challenge would be an understatement! I hope it goes a lot smoother as we progress through the semester. I think the most difficult thing for me is just knowing where to begin or how to be creative. My three siblings all got … Continue reading "Week One: What did I get myself into?"
I struggled more than I thought through this week. I have never been a huge social media person so other than instagram and slightly twitter I hadn’t had any prior experience with them. The main issue that I kept having was that I found things didn’t publish right away or show up on the course…
Here are a link to my other two posts for the week: Introduction Thoughts The first week of school is always a bit stressful for me because I do not know my professors and I don’t have a feel for my classes yet. Now that this is the final assignment for the week, I am…
This week has definitely been a challenging one because I put my blood, sweat, and tears into making this blog. When I say tears I am not joking, I cried for a second because I thought my whole blog that spent hours on got deleted. This week I spent a total of four and a … Continue reading "What. A. Week. 1."
What a crazy first-week spring 2020 has been. This class specifically has been the most enjoyable. I’ve always liked creating websites and writing blog posts. Since middle school, I’ve cultivated a passion for creating websites. So, because of this fact, this class is a perfect end to a long academic career at the University of … Continue reading "First Week Reflections"
The first week of ds106 was a lot more challenging than I expected, but nevertheless rewarding once I finally accomplished all our assignments (after hours […]
Hey guys! My name is a Carmen and I am a senior majoring in Biology. This week has gone by so slow though I don’t really mind since I have many assignments piling up as the days progress. It has also been a stressful week trying to get my graduation requirements out of the way […]
This week was a tough one for me since I had never activated or signed up for social media accounts. It was somewhat difficult for me to maneuver the many sites and cites to different sites. I learned that the
Wow, what a week. I joined the class a little late and so it has been a mad dash to get to this point but I am here. On top of joining late I am also intimidated by this course. I previously attempted to take it during a summer semester and the experience was so …
Three weeks into returning to to my home country after being abroad for a whole four months, and let me tell you–the adjustment process has still been a bit rough. However, although this first week has been hectic and creating accounts, introducing myself, and trying to wrap my mind around this 80s theme chewed at […]
This week was alright, I did not have much human contact, but I’m used to that. Except for a quick, required RA meeting, I went the entirety of Tuesday without seeing another human. I did my required work, kept to myself, and went to all of my classes. I had difficulty sleeping, and spent most […]
After this week, I am very excited for this class. Social media is something that I think I would like to do for a future job (as in manage social media accounts for whatever company I work for) so I am interested to see how I do with my social media accounts for this class. Instagram is my favorite social media and I had a fun time creating a new post and choosing what picture to use for my intro. I decided on one of me dressed in my 80s themed costume (fitting for the theme of this class). As […]

There once was a point in time when I could pick up an electronic device and figure it out within minutes. I could sit at a computer and edit the HTML to make my MySpace page look cool and my friends would pay me (candy currency) to hook them up with cool backgrounds and background […]

What’s Crackalackin’? My name is Lauren Talbert and I’m a senior Political Science major. My life goal is to be the second coming of Ruth Bader Ginsberg. My best friend is my dog, Rubeus, so I’ll probably be posting pictures of her from time to time, because if dogs were super models she’d be #1. … Continue reading "Hello world, nice to meet yah!"
