I have looked back on our ds106 dashboard, and found what I think are the 3 outstanding works of art. The first post I found was created by Emily Dzubak, she did created a Daily Create of a snowflake concrete poem. I love winter and obsessed with snowflakes so once I saw this I was … Continue reading Best of DS106

History 2.0 This Wednesday I tuned into ds106 radio and listened to “History 2.0’s” radio show. Throughout their radio show they brought up a couple of the top news stories that have been getting a lot of buzz around campus. They started their introduction to the radio show with loud music to grab your attention … Continue reading Radio Show Broadcasting

The second assignment I chose to do for this week was to tell a story with an image that I found on google street view. This assignment was worth 3.5 stars brining me to the 8 stars that I need for this week. Surprisingly, I was only the second person to complete the assignment. I … Continue reading "Google Street View Story Telling"

This week was challenging, but I managed my time well and got it all done early! I’m super proud of myself because I have always struggled with time management. I also participated more by commenting on people’s posts and live tweeting. Here are all my posts from this week: Daily Create 10/18/16 Clover in Pictures […]

For this assignment, I thought of the perfect idea. I would remix a craigslist ad so that it was a plea for someone to take this person’s Furby off their hands. Anyone who has ever owned a Furby knows that they do weird and creepy things. They’ll turn on without batteries, randomly say things, keep […]

This week, one of our assignments is to pick out three of our favorite daily creates that our classmates have done recently, and blog about each of them. This is the first one that caught my eye while I was looking at our class blogs. I absolutely love this photo because of the reflection of […]

Assignment 3: Way Back Time Machine (2 stars) For this assignment, my task was to use Way Back Time Machine to look at how a website has changed over time. It really is amazing how much progress on a website can be made in so little time. I decided to check out the evolution of […]

I don’t like writing. I don’t think I’m good at it, it takes me a long time to write, and I’m a more logical person. This is the only reason I write. When I do write, sometimes it comes out as nonsense. Honestly, I’d rather just make random noises.

Today’s Daily Create had me answer the question of why I write. Honestly, I don’t like writing. I never have; it’s always been difficult for me. So I tried to express this in my post: @ds106dc I write because I have to for school #tdc1747 — Maureen (@gingerchic21) October 20, 2016

Oh. My God. I went through ALL EIGHTY-EIGHT PAGES of the class feed to find three of the best works of art. It took a looooooong time, but I found some really incredible works of art. The first assignment I found was this one: Suns, Only Abstract I just thought the design of this one […]

Assignment 2: What They Might Have Done in Social Media (3.5 stars) This assignment required me to make a “Fakebook” for a historical figure of my choice, and post what I think they would’ve posted about way back in the day. I actually had so much fun with this assignment. I decided to make a […]

Yesterday I listen to the ds106 News Radio show at 8:30pm on ds106 Radio. I thoroughly enjoyed listening; the topics were current news stories like the most recent Trump scandal and the people dressed as clowns scaring people. Each presenter provided well thought out opinions on each story, and they seemed well-prepared. They structured it as […]

The first assignment I chose to do this week was to create some running art! To do this I spent some time on map my run trying to find an object that I could map out while I run. This was difficult…. after about 15 min I settled for a leaf that I could find … Continue reading "Running GPS Art!"

Assignment 1: Create Your Own Room (4 stars) I chose this assignment because I am really into home decor and Pinterest, so this stood out to me. I love watching shows on HGTV and imagining how my future home is going to look. I think there is nothing more exciting than designing the future place […]

Another Pinterest assignment! I’m finding that I like this website more and more…there’s no limit to what you can find on Pinterest. When pinning posts for this assignment, I found I had several ideas of a dream vacation, so I pinned posts that had to do with all my ideas. I would love to visit […]

Today’s Daily Create was a weird one…I had to create a poem using the words pistachio, ink, pebble, weather, and varnish. After some thinking about how I could possibly related these things to one another, I came up with this: @ds106dc The rainy weather coated the pebbles in water, like an ink varnish on a pistachio […]

Google Translate can either be incredibly helpful or the exact opposite. My mission was to put something into Google Translate that would translate it into something funny. So I played around a bit and came up with this: I found that when I went from a foreign language to English, for the most part the […]

Our first round of ds106 radio shows went very well. We started off with ds106 News Radio, which covered a number of important and highly relevant topics #ds106 Oh god not the clowns — Maureen (@gingerchic21) October 19, 2016 In … Continue reading →

This assignment had me create a board on Pinterest for a character of my choice. I chose to create a board for my character Clover that I created for Dystopia Rising, a post-apocalyptic LARP game. Clover is a Natural One, which is a race that is like Native Americans in that they have tribes, they live […]

For today’s Daily Create, I had to make fake airplane sounds. @ds106dc Airplane sounds… #tdc1745 pic.twitter.com/IB8bYzAkrf — Maureen (@gingerchic21) October 18, 2016

To be honest this has been one of the most difficult classes I have ever taken. I guess the hard part is the feeling that my creativity has suffered great over the years since I graduated High School.This week we put together all our recordings, to complete our Radio show. we made 5 min segments … Continue reading Weekly Summery →

We finally finished our Radio show, what an experience. I got to meet some of my classmates, and create something. The hardest part was bringing everyone together despite the fact that everyone has different schedules. My skit had to do with “Video Games Before The Internet”. It was a pretty easy subject to talk about, the … Continue reading Radio Show →

What a two weeks. It was super fun though. I really enjoyed creating our radio show Minuscule Stories. I’m really proud of how it turned out. Thanks a lot to my team mates. Alyssa and Maureen. Here is our radio show. Here’s my commercial. I decided to make my commercial on Twitter since it played […]

This week was fun! Me and my group finished up our radio show which can be found on my radio show progress post below, and I did a couple Daily Creates. Here’s all the posts I made this week: Daily Create 10/13/16 Daily Create 10/14/16 Radio Show Progress

Me, Alyssa, and Kim worked a lot on our radio show this week. We each created a commercial and chose three 6-10 word stories and talked about them, then Alyssa edited them together into a complete radio show. We all communicated via a Facebook chat group which was very convenient. We all tied all of […]

Today’s Daily Create had me create a photograph with words. I happened to notice me cat on the windowsill at the time, so that’s what I chose to describe: @ds106dc A cat perched on the windowsill of an open window enjoying the morning breeze of a crisp fall day #photosWithoutPhotos #tdc1741 — Maureen (@gingerchic21) October […]

We’re done! We finished the recording on Wednesday night, and got the commercials done yesterday, and Evan polished everything up and stuck it all together this afternoon. Here it is! The biggest issue I think we had was communication, but overall it was pretty inconsequential. There was one big “uh oh” moment this afternoon, when … Continue reading Radio Show →
