For this Audio assignment we had to create a video or picture montage of a place we’ve always wanted to visit. Since I was young I have always wanted to visit Australia. I’ve always thought it was cool because of the scenery and all of the different animals. Hopefully, I can go there after I … Continue reading Audio Assignment: Where do want to go? →

This assignment was worth 4 stars. The goal of this assignment was to find a video and create an instant replay from part of the video. Here is the link to the original assignment: http://assignments.ds106.us/assignments/instant-replay/. I used iMovie to create this video.

Assignment #2: How-To Video (4.5 stars) For my next assignment, I decided to get a little bit crafty. My task is to make a How-To tutorial on whatever subject I want. There aren’t many things that I do know how to do, but one thing that I would say I’ve mastered is how to do […]

Assignment #1: My Favorite Thing to Do (3.5 stars) For this assignment, our task was to take a video or upload a video of us doing our favorite hobby. I immediately knew I wanted to put up a video of rowing, since that’s about the only hobby I have time for. I didn’t actually have […]

After some time dedicated to renting out a camera, deciding what type of video to make for one of my daily creates for video week, and thinking about what will be best applied, I found myself getting very hungry.  I stumbled upon an option entailing food, something I love very much, and at this moment I … Continue reading "My Cooking Extravaganza!"

For this assignment, I made a video montage of my Beagle, Jeter. I chose him because he has been my bestie for the last 9 years and he is really cute. Enjoy. To do this assignment, I first had to hunt for a bunch of pictures and videos of Jeter. That didn’t take long because … Continue reading My Best Friend Montage

As soon as I read the assignment description, I thought of this scene from We Are Marshall. It gets me every. single. time. After reading the articles and watching the “Every Frame a Painting” videos, it was easy to understand why this scene gets me so emotional. Every single angle in these scenes is purposeful … Continue reading We Are Marshall scene analysis

Today’s Daily Create was to use Google Streetview to visit a place we may never visit in person. I chose the Amazon rainforest: @ds106dc I think it'd be fun to visit the Amazon rainforest #tdc1751 pic.twitter.com/boMtzs5B4a — Maureen (@gingerchic21) October 24, 2016

This video assignments was one of my favorites! I did a stop motion video in high school using the book The Very Hungry Caterpillar. It was a little more advanced than the video I did for this assignment, but it was still a lot of fun. The task was to create a 6 second video … Continue reading Stop Motion

So, I did a 4 1/2 star, a 3 1/2 star, and a 2 star assignment. The astute may notice that this comes out to 10 stars, when we only had 8 stars assigned. This is partly because I pretended that the Google Maps project was only 3 1/2 stars. However, I am still a … Continue reading Weekly Summary Week 8: I suck at math →

I’m going to review a radio show that I didn’t actually get to listen when it aired: The Meme Show. Basically, I’m liveblogging. I really like history, so I’m glad they’re going into the history of memes. Also, really pretty background music. Lol “temes”, ok. Also, I totally remember email memes. Fast-spreading = understatement. I … Continue reading Radio Review: The Meme Show →

The Interconnected Prism That Is DS106 I chose this one for two reasons: I love the picture. It’s gorgeous. The concept behind it is great. It’s true; we’re all interconnected by the internet in ways that our ancestors never could have dreamed. Hellenic Social Media I thought this was was funny. Alexander the Great + social … Continue reading Best of DS106 →

http://thimbleprojects.org/HTTP/athiaoflight/119578 I got really stuck on this assignment. I just had no freaking clue what to do. Then, when I was scrolling through the assignments for my 8 stars, I got this idea- do a “life assignment” that looked really easy but would never happen. I decided to remix the Web Storytelling page itself- the … Continue reading Website Remix →

For the 3 1/2 star assignment “Create Your Dream Vacation on Pinterest!” I chose to create a board with what might be one of the most expensive vacations I could think of (hey, ideal not practical): Ok, that picture should link to the Pinterest board. First, I decided on where I would go. Well, I’ve always … Continue reading Dream Vacation: Peru, Jordan, Egypt, Antarctica →

This web assignment is Google History Maps Story, and I chose Abu Abdullah Mohammad Ibn Battuta, more commonly referred to as simply Mohammad Ibn Battuta or just Ibn Battuta. (Fun fact: ibn means “son” in Arabic, so “ibn Battuta” means “son of Battuta”; this is my three years of Arabic at work, folks!) It was … Continue reading Ibn Battuta + Google Maps →

I visit LL Bean on those occasions when I just need really, really well-made clothing that’s actually meant to last outdoors. In fact, I just got two new flannel shirts for the winter, plus two camisoles. Only two, because LL Bean is sadly expensive, and even though my mom treated me, I still don’t like … Continue reading LLBean Website Flashback →

I sometimes just tune in to ds106 radio just for some inspiration. I was listening the other night, and a really old airing of CBS radio was on. It really took me back! The tone of voice, the music, sound effects, and the quality all really brings you back! It remind me of when my … Continue reading "Meme Radio Broadcast Reflection"

This has honestly been the single worst week for this class for me. First, I went camping over Fall Break, so I couldn’t do any of the daily creates from Saturday-Tuesday, so I had to do the ones for Wednesday-Friday. To make things worse, shortly after returning to school after break,...

For my web page remix using the X-ray goggles I created a funny job advertisement for myself. Earlier in the week I started creating a page on an amazon posting but it became really complicated really fast. After struggling for about an hour I gave up and walked away. Today I started over with a … Continue reading "Web Page Remix"

I gotta say I really liked the talk show-style radio shows. I especially liked the way ds106 News Radio was structured. It felt like a real news talk show, with different commentators giving their opinions on various current news stories. There wasn’t a whole in the way of sound effects or...
