It’s nice when you can create simple things in Adobe Illustrator.   Hopefully, people understand the play on Roman numerals.

For this week’s story critique, I chose “Dear Grandma” by Matt MacArthur. I was searching YouTube for digital stories and came across this one. Previously I had only searched within the suggested websites but decided to just search blindly on YouTube to see what was out there! “Dear Grandma” features a man’s voice speaking about his grandmother. It begins with him stating that he was thinking about her and her funeral when he was 11 years old. It goes on to tell interesting facts about his

I’m a little embarrassed to say this, but I’ve never used Reddit. I love message boards, I love Twitter discussions and news on the internet, but I’ve never used Reddit – even when I see links to things that I’m interested…

First off – thank you for sharing the other articles to digest! I decided to check out Chapter 1 from “The Work of a Story”. I can’t deny – this chapter had my mind running all over the place. Right…

For Chapter Three of New Literacies I found myself looking up many terms and definitions. One of the words that really stood out to me was folksonomy. Folksonomy is defined as a system in which users tag online items to aid in searching for and finding those items. I realized after looking up the definition that I knew what it was but not what it was called. As a newer user of various social media tools like Twitter and Flickr, this concept is new to me and I am still figuring it all out. I

  Last week, I posted a story about hops – it was a short intro to what hops are and how they are used to brew beer. Today, I figured I would share a short video that explains a little…

 I happened to get up early and noticed that today's daily create was to create a GIF for someone's birthday. The preference was to use a picture of a dog. Even though I didn't know the person for whom we were celebrating I jumped at the chance to make a gif since that on my list of things I don't know how to do :) I downloaded the app, "Giphy" and scrolled through looking for a dog. This Corgi playing the piano was quite cute and I thought it would be perfect for him to be learning to play

“Take your favorite song. Remove the lyrics. Play only up to thirty seconds of the song. Listener must be able to guess.” Anyone know this one? @ds106 #AudioAssignments #AudioAssignments1446

The Grammy Awards are tomorrow night. Kendrick Lamar is going to win several Grammy awards. I say this with as much certainty as the artist himself possesses when he says, “We gon’ be alright” – the chorus from the song Alright, which is nominated for an award and will win it. This digital story was produced by the … Continue reading Digital Story Critique 4: We gon’ be alright

I wanted to find a way to highlight the relationship between cowboy and horse for this daily create challenge. My wife suggested incorporating the  horse with beautiful hair meme, I used MakeAMeme.org to create this image and it could not have been simpler. I searched for the horse image, added text and downloaded the image. […]

I have chosen to discuss a teacher’s account of his experience and experimentation with digital storytelling with his students. I say experimentation because the scope and requirements of his assignments changed over time, as he assessed their learning impact and effectiveness. Kevin Cordi realized that his students were interacting with digital spaces constantly each day, … Continue reading Scholarship Response: “My Journey into Digital Storytelling—Teaching Using Digital Means”

Coffee is a way of life for some and is right at the beginning of many people’s day. I love to use my french press in the morning and the steps involved have very much become the foundation of my morning routine. Out of bed, grind the beans, jump in the shower while water boils, get […]

In response to the ds106 Video Assignment “Six Second Art” I created a simple little picture. Onto the blank paper and a little water, drizzle in the color of the forest. And, lo, a fox appears. Or a wolf. Or maybe a “folf” fox-wolf hybrid. Bred for its skills in magic. Inspired by the assignment […]

I have a lot of fun with my video assignment. I was still very pumped by the Broncos Super Bowl victory and used this as an opportunity to step out of my comfort zone by trying some new things and celebrating my favorite team.  Learning the signs needed for my message was hard, I had […]

The website is called “eLearning Industry” and it is all about Scenario Based Learning. When I opened said link, this is what I found for their statement. Scenario based learning […]
