    Thank you Alec Couros for being my teacher and role model for the past 4 years. I first met you as a mentor through the Powerful Learning Practice. It was exciting to find a Canadian who was actively modeling what being a Connected Educator could look like. You and Will Richardson were my role models […]

    Always On, Never Ending– the Open ds106 Experience

    by

    January 14, 2014
    The Headless ds106 experiment we set up August-December 2013 had many successful points. Most was in the new influx of active participants, but the ending group project (not planned) was in terms of rich collaboration one of my peak ds106 experiences. But it was an experience that was still bound by time. It started and ended. And in discussion with Rochelle Lockridge about her wildly successful efforts in running a parallel ds106 experience inside the 3M corporate world, I felt more that the weekly pace was un-ncessary for a truly wide open ds106. Of Course We’re Open. It’s not completely filled out yet, but in a week, the Open ds106 Course ought to be fully built out. The idea is to take the posts (time based) that made up the headless ds106 course, and put them in a WordPress Page structure (actually page and child pages). This way they can […]

    Last year I learned, collaborated and played with people from around the world because last January I joined ETMOOC, an Educational Technology and Media Massive Open Online Course. I had participated in online courses before, but I had never participated in something of this scale without knowing at least other participant; and by the time […]

    This is another image in the silhouette series where the “app up” of the image makes it even better (see “App Up Your Tina” for the full story). This time, I used Photoshop to “app up” the image into a GIF form. I hope you like it. It shows me using some of my special […]

    Happy Second Birthday, ds106 Daily Create

    by

    January 8, 2014
    cc licensed ( BY NC ND ) flickr photo shared by Vanessa Pike-Russell Two years ago today the ds106 Daily Create was launched with its first challenge, TDC1, “Create a Photograph that features a repeating pattern”. In honor of that, this is one of the rare times we repeat the same prompt, for TDC731: We’ve not missed a day in that stretch, a run of 730 creative challenges meant to help you flex those creative muscles. The idea for this site grew out of our experience with The Daily Shoot, a site created by pro photographers Duncan Davidson and Mike Clark. While I had been doing my own (and still do) daily photographs, the power of a photographic prompt gave me something to look for everyday, and often led me to try new techniques. We used the Daily Shoot in the first years of ds106 when we worked on visual […]

    January 7, 2014
    I have an app called Fragment that does all sorts of odd things to photographs. I used it this week for two Daily Create assignments over at DS106. The first was to “app up” a silhouette, but I abandoned the shadow idea in order to play around with the “app up” part of things. I […]

    Looking Behind the Cubomaniac Eyes

    So today The Daily Create tdc729 called it a Cubomaniac when you chop someone up into squares and then put them back together again. First, I took my picture: Because I must have had an accident there was some kind of a filter turned on in my phone that made it look more yellow than […]

    So The Daily Create number tdc727 said to take a silhouette and make it fancy! Like using an app to “app it up” so that it was more special. This was a fun create for me because my silhouette is very distinctive (I think so) and so it was easy to work with to make […]
