Writing, writing, writing. That’s what this week was all about!! I’m not a huge fan of writing, so when I saw that our assignment this week was to go into the assignment bank and get 10 stars from the writing assignments section only, let’s just say I wasn’t the happiest. But turns out, it wasn’t … Continue reading "Week 3 Summary"

I loved this week. I’m much more of a writer than someone who can edit pictures or write software (not even sure that’s the write lingo), so I was grateful for a manageable week. Our story analysis was tricky for me. I couldn’t really connect with any of the examples we were given, so I …

This week is finally over. Unlike the previous two weeks, this week was much more writing based. I felt like there was a lot of writing to do but I did not find the assignments difficult. Instead, I enjoyed all of the assignments I did. I decided to work on my assignments earlier in the … Continue reading Weekly Summary

Week 2 assignments were definitely a challenge for me, but in the end, I think I did pretty well.  I was assigned to the video group so we were tasked with creating an assignment to add to the bank as well as finding a good example of video storytelling.  For the assignment created, I decided …

This has been a long week! After learning from my mistakes of last week, I started the assignments from this week a little earlier. These tasks were a little more fun and creative! I started the week with reading a post about how to write blog posts. You can check it out here . I then … Continue reading "Week 2 Summary"

It has been…2 hours and 15ish minutes since I tried to Tweet today’s Daily Create from my phone. This happened with all of them (Which I only noticed when I went to make this post and they weren’t on my Twitter), so they’ll be posted here. We’ll see if it ever actually posts. (Edit: Miracle…

What a week! Last week I felt way over my head and didn’t really know what was going on. This week I felt like I had a better grasp on the assignments and computer programs, and was able to get a bit more into it. I loved the daily creates! They helped me get a …

Continue reading "My Wacky Week"

This week consisted of working on more assignment based tasks than setting up our blog. It was not too stressful, however, the only thing I made sure to remember throughout the week was that I needed to work on 3 daily creates so not to wait until the last minute to get started. I did … Continue reading Weekly Summary

I enjoyed the assignments of the first week. I did them all in a short period of time because I added the class late but I’m very excited for where this class will go. I worked with a new editing plugin I got for the soundcloud introduction and I made a few pieces of art …

I am an intended Communication and Digital Studies major, so I have been looking forward to this class since I registered. After the first emails, and seeing the first week of assignments, I was a little apprehensive, and even had some anxiety about getting everything done in time between my work responsibilities and other classwork. […]

I was not expecting to be as lost as I was when it came to getting started on this class. I’m not the most...

There was definitely quite a few things to do this week to get set up.  I had to set up the sound cloud account as well as slack.  I already had the others, but honestly don’t use Twitter nor Instagram a lot so all of it was virtually new.  I feel like I really struggled …

In week one, I had to set up the following digital media sites: a blog, YouTube, twitter , soundcloud, Instagram and slack. It has definitely been a learning experience for me. Facebook was the only social media I have ever used but all that changed this week. The only new account I made this week …

Continue reading "Week One Summary"

My first week of digital storytelling was a little challenging at times. Some of the things we are doing for this class is new to me so I have to acclimate myself with things like domains, blogs, and SoundCloud. Setting up the domain was fairly simple however at one point I had a hard time …

This week went pretty well. I felt like it was a lot to set up but nothing too complicated. I created new social media accounts for this class and here are my introductions. I read through all of the instructions, and I found the links very helpful to use and just followed the steps. I … Continue reading First Week Summary

Well….this week has been quite the week! The start up for this class wasn’t all that bad. It was very simple and easy to create all the different accounts. It did get hard when it came to connecting these to the full D106 class website. I did many look overs to make sure I completed … Continue reading "Week 1 Summary"
