Being a part of Learning with Digital Stories was a little like being in The Matrix; you had to take what you know and are comfortable and familiar with in education and bend your experience by realizing the truth: there is no pigeonhole for learning.   Connecting the dots: As a learner in this course …

Throughout our Learning with Digital Stories course this summer I continued to be amazed by how much I learned from my peers. I believe I learned the most from their stories and our discussions via Hypothes.is. I was impressed by the quality of their work and the resources they shared on their blogs, whether it be … Continue reading "Final Course Reflection"

This summer we journeyed into digital storytelling. Guided by the very capable Professor Remi Holden, we explored new ways of interacting with each other, on public platforms, and in small groups. Many tools were brought in to facilitate this new experience in learning. Using the DS106 platform, Twitter, Hypothes.is, wordpress and various digital production tools, […]

Final Portfolio created on Storify Can I say I have thoroughly enjoyed this course! As terrified as I was the first 6 times I read the syllabus, this course has expanded my thinking in way I never thought possible. When I signed up for this course I thought I would be making some videos about […]

This Daily Create suggested we find filters we haven’t used before on a photo of ourselves. I chose to use Snapchat filters, since they’re quite fun      

Today’s Daily Create is a DC throwback. We were prompted to create a fake flyer and post it up in our neighborhood. I created 3 based on some photos I’ve taken recently.  

Week 8 – can’t believe it is already here! What a ride this has been. I spent many nights on my final portfolio and sharing my story and journey during this eight week adventure. I have learned a lot about social media, storytelling, and about myself. Me as a learner in this course: I feel […]

One of my first experiences with Digital Storytelling was in my first Master’s class.  The final project for that class was to create a digital story about ourselves and how we have grown during the class.  I admit that I struggled with that assignment.  Not as much in thinking of what to say, what ideas … Continue reading All good things must come to an end – Final Portfolio & Reflection

My Portfolio At the end of this course, I have many final thoughts. I am amazed at how much I learned and grew in an engaging course with a very interesting format. The weekly reflective summaries I composed each week illustrate my progress as a student and storyteller. By choosing my own path and collaborating […]

Much of the last eight weeks are a blur. I remember three different airports but could only tell you what the one in my home city looks like. I remember hotel rooms and rental cars restaurants, but the only thing that sticks out is hunting for a WiFi signals so i could get online and… Continue reading Different and Better – Week 8 Final Reflection →

Learning With Digital Stories: A Final Portfolio Learning With Digital Stories. An interactive, connected, online course. A fun-filled, action-packed thrill ride that changes the way we look at the modern world. Pictures, videos, artifacts. Documenting, preserving, connecting, blogging, and remixing. And all the while, trying to answer one simple question: How and why is it […]

           This course was designed very differently from courses I have taken in the past. Instead of utilizing primarily canvas for the course it seemed to be more about blogging and then connecting with each other and “hosting” our assignments via twitter. While I have used Twitter in the past for […]

As we come to the end of this summer class it seems like a whirlwind.  I look back at my first week of blogs and it feels like I just wrote them yesterday and at the same time feels like it had to be months ago.  I have grown more confident from this class.  My fear […]

Almost at the end of the session already! This week has been so hectic trying to get the final DS106 project complete! Who knew it would take basically three full days of downloading, editing and filming to create such a small video? In retrospect though I definitely went overboard with it having included about 15 different […]

     For this week’s digital story critique I wanted to find something on making movie trailers to help figure out how to make an epic trailer for my other class assignment. I found a YouTube video literally titled, “How to make an EPIC movie trailer!” It is a short four minute video and the author […]

As Learning with Digital Stories (INTE 5340)  comes to an end, there are three main ideas that will stick with me after this course. First is the distinction between the “push” and “pull” models Read more...

I can’t believe this course is over!  As much as I dreaded it after I read the syllabus the first time, it has flown by and I can confidently say that I learned more (about the subject matter and about myself) in this course than in any of my previous courses.  I have compiled and […]

As week 7 comes to a close, I am truly reflecting on the entire course.  I have really enjoyed the course as a whole, this weeks readings especially made me realize how happy I am that this was one of my first courses in my masters! How well do you feel you completed the requirements […]

WOW! How is it week 7 already? I really enjoyed the reading and research that I did this week. I liked that we had a choice of our required reading and it was nice to revisit an article I had read a few years back. It opened my eyes again and reminded me that I […]
