    (download audio) As promised in yesterday’s “teaser” post, an audio draft of my answer to the question ‘How do I feel when I think?’ is offered in the player above. For devices without Flash, the download audio link should work. And for those subscribed to the feed in iTunes, the recording should have by now […]

    Impact mapping

    by
    Jessi, of the illustrious Internet Course crew, suggested that we cover the impacts of the internet through a Google map. It seems counterintuitive to me – I think of the internet as the cloud, the ether, so geolocating its impacts would never have … Continue reading

    Happy Pride Edmonton

    by

    Tom and I went to the Edmonton Pride Parade on Saturday. We hadn’t planned to, but we were in the neighbourhood and we kept seeing such interesting looking people and fabulous costumes we decided to check it out. We’re glad we did, it was a great parade. Premier Dave Hancock’s was one of the first […]

    A Big Box Full of A Lot of Little GIFs

    by
    creative commons licensed ( BY-SA ) flickr photo shared by dvanzuijlekom As a kid my Mom would ask me what present I wanted for the holidays or a birthday. “Present” being so singular, I thought I gamed the system by asking for a “big box full of a whole lot of little toys”. She always delivered. Over in another room of the Campbell household, Gardner is merrily making some of his first animated GIFs. I got thinking about a few that were sitting in my undone pile, or the half baked ideas pile. Here is the unboxing. First of all, my good friends and happy couple, Michael Gershovich and Jennie Morris, the night we sat out on the new roof tap bar of the Park South Hotel. As it happens, often I get multipl photos, which plays out as a 1-2 Photograph GIF This is done in a way described […]

    Feel Like I’m in a Judy GIF

    by
    The organizers of the online Thought Vectors course have asked participants to answer the question “How does it feel when I think?” in the form of an autobiographical blog post for a first week assignment. The initial thought upon reading and pondering the prompt was amazement at never having considered it before. Seems all the energy, […]

    Gettin’ Over It

    by
    The course’s catch-phrase is thought vectors in concept space. It looks to be an interesting and fun way to spend the next eight weeks. So, I guess it’s time to learn how to work a blog again.

    Ratings, Difficulty, DS106 Assignment Bank Theme

    by
    creative commons licensed ( BY ) flickr photo shared by – Slavin More tinkering goes on with the ds106 Assignment Bank as a wordpress theme (watch it change as often as flickr at http://bank.ds106.us), thanks to the work being done by Karen and Brad on a new version for the Making Connected Learning MOOC. Again fresh eyes and ideas are helping me see (sometimes) past the way we built it for ds106. One area we have danced around is the use of the WP-PostRatings Plugin. Typically this is used to allow people to register votes for blog posts, and has flexibility to have simple up/down voting, or 5 star and many more. The way we have used it for DS106 has been a crowd sourced difficulty vote (1 star is easy, 5 is hard), so anyone visiting an assignment can click on a star value to register a vote. What […]

    Grade 6 Exhibition

The night started with a song and dance performance which students had choreographed themselves. Then we were invited to view the displays of student inquiry projects around the theme Sharing the […]

    So, we have been playing #emojimovie over on Twitter.

    That led to a Daily Create asking us to make an emoji poster movie. I have been pondering on what to do and how to do it. I decided to play with minimalist posters and find a way to depict my favourite movie in Emoji. 

    I do not like emoji much and much prefer Japanese emoticons. They work horizontally rather than vertically and I like the creativity within constraints they demonstrate. So I cheated. I used 2 the one for ‘crying’ and the one for ‘catching an umbrella in the rain’ on several lines underneath. I positioned the crying one at the top so that his tears disappear in the rain…

    I wanted a background that was ‘like rain’ and that was harder than I thought in Photoshop. I needed a tutorial.

    I then played with Photoshop and made various versions - my favourites in this post. I cannot yet decide which one will be submitted to the Daily Create. I think the rain effect needed to be a night time rain effect to give it a darker look. Not today. 

    And good luck guessing the movie!

    Can you guess?

    Emoji Movie Poster: Screenface III

    by
    Yesterday’s Daily Create was to create an emoji movie poster. I suppose this could have gone a few ways: we could have made a poster for a movie told entirely in emoji (which I don’t think anyone did) or we could made a poster for an emoji movie (which is what I did). There are […]
