When I learned that DS106 would be focusing on the components of horror storytelling, I was thrilled. Within the last two years or so, I’ve become very interested in the horror/thriller genre. I have written short stories in the past that were intended to be scary, but I never really went beyond the written word. … Continue reading First Weekly Summary (!!!) →

Ah! I think I’ve finally figured all this out. My name is Catalina, but most people just call me Cat. I’m a senior at UMW, double majoring in Communication and Digital Studies, as well as Theatre with a focus in acting. I transferred here from Northern Virginia Community College in the Spring of 2014, and I’ve … Continue reading Intro →

This first week has been interesting.. I’ve been sick all week, and the worst days were Saturday, Sunday, and Monday.. The three days that would have been the best to get a lot of the assignments & introductions completed, but... Continue Reading →

As classes begin, we also start the first week of ds106. The week hasn’t been off to a great start for me – being sick on the first day of classes sucks! So far I have created accounts on SoundCloud,... Continue Reading →

I cannot say it loud enough – – – OMG!  Until this week my online social media was confined to facebook; and even on that I limited myself to viewing and clicking the like button.  That’s because anytime I attempted to make a comment it ended up on the wrong post.  And let’s not even … →

The song that sets the tone for our tour of the Carnival. No words can replace the imagination.

There was a man named Tom who always argued with his wife Gina. They would argue and fight constantly and one day Tom threatened to cut his throat. A few fights later Tom actually did cut his throat, in front of his wife. So, the wife decided to donate his organs to a hospital nearby. … Continue reading Scary Story

An appropriate ending to the first week of Creepy Tails From the Carnival is the party. Does your birthday every really go as planned?

This week has been interesting. Aside from the fact that it is the first real week of school trying to get through this ds106 boot camp has been a challenge! I would not say that I am one who is very gifted with technology and on top of that I am not a huge horror … Continue reading Weekly Summary

Welcome to Ms Clara Hope! I hope you enjoy my web creations. Here’s an intro into my quirky (and sometimes scary) college life!!

First week down! This first week has been a total whirlwind experience for me.  I have never taken an online class so becoming adjusted to make my own schedule for this class was a whole new adjustment. I also had no idea what genre was going to be thrown at us so having it coming […]

(^ slightly spooky music provided for your enjoyment as you read ^ ) Hello~! My persona for our horror-themed ds106 is HeadReaper. Now I don’t want people to think that I chose the name because I want to reap the heads of small children or anything. I was going more along the lines of I’m the … Continue reading Greetings Young Reapers

Let me tell you that when I read about the daily create assignment in twitter today I was like…. mmmmh…. just one minute is not enough to describe what is important to me. During the day, I was thinking about it what is important in my life and I came with a lot of things

Well, here we are 1 week in to ds106. Prodding around twitter and blogs (very clumsily, I might add), it would appear that there is a decent amount of flexing media muscles among the other ds106 accounts. As for my own endeavors,  obtaining quality youtube footage will definitely be a difficulty coming up. As someone … Continue reading Week 1

WOW is all I have to say to start out this post. I just scratched my entire first draft of this after a little scare I had last night. As I was doing some work around 12:30 am (yes, I’m...

There was once a young couple, very much in love, who decided to get married.  On the eve of their wedding, a reception was held at the bride’s grandmother’s house. Everyone in attendance were joyous over the newly wedded couple....

Hello, I am Jerome Mueller, a computer science and math major at UMW! I have no idea what makes an effective wordpress introduction, and am of the opinion that introductions are best made face to face, but I suppose given the circumstances that this will have to do… We shall see how effective selecting one … Continue reading Introductory Post

This first week in ds106 has been very interesting to me, especially using the theme of ‘horror’. I am not one that usually is very interested in anything having to do with horror, but I found the videos and assignments fun to research and complete. This week I completed my introductions and the scary story assignment. […]

    When my sister was four we would often times catch her in our basement playing with her dolls and talking with someone. This went on for weeks and we just believed that it was an imaginary friend. Throughout the weeks my little sister would scream “My friend came to play with me! She […]

When I read about this assignment, the first thing that popped into my head was an episode of the TV show ‘Boy Meets World’. The episode was titled ‘And Then There Was Shawn’, and it revolved around the main characters being trapped in high school detention by a masked, skeleton figure. Slowly, one by one, […]

This week was a week full of creating things and figuring out how to do new things. Creating all the accounts wasn’t difficult but it was very time consuming. I had to make sure to write down all the accounts and passwords since I tend to forget those things. Creating the domain and WordPress was … Continue reading Weekly Summary

One night my parents decided it would be a good idea to take our family to a haunted house type thing that was being held in the woods at a near by park. The night was pitch black and the air had a certain crisp to it. It felt like any other typical Fall night. We … Continue reading Chainsaw Out of the Trees

Week one of ds106 has been interesting. I have never been a large fan of scary movies or the horror genre but I can see how some people may enjoy it. I didn’t enjoy setting up all the accounts due to the fact that I got some massive road rash on my right hand making … Continue reading Week One Summary →

One dark moonless night a man was gazing at the nothingness in the sky when all the sudden a piece of the sky seemed to move. This piece of sky moved towards a tree and landed on one of the branches. Teh man could see by the faint light of a street lamp that the … Continue reading The Purple Beast from the Sky →

Before Saturday, August 22, 2015 I would have considered myself pretty technology savvy.  Digital Storytelling has proven that my skills are not as great as I predicted them to be.  This week has been very stressful for me with signing up and maneuvering my way around different social media sites that I have no prior […]
