This week was pretty good and straight forward. The web assignments are pretty fun and include some new tools and techniques I haven’t used before. This is the first time I’ve used the X-ray Goggles tool to mess with HTML and webpages. Other than that this week was pretty simple and wasn’t too challenging, just a …

    This week I was very strained on time and didn’t particularly enjoy the web assignments as much, and there wasn’t as large of a selection of them either which was disappointing. Here’s my work from the week! Assignments: Google Translate FAIL Google Maps Trip Google Draw Something My best of the best assignments: … Continue reading "Sleuth Summary 9"

Never heard of Twister before but apparently it is a website that can make fake Twitter-like accounts for well known individuals in the past.  The basic premise is typing in the full name, choosing a date they would have “tweeted” and coming up with something they might say.  The example I had seen was Abe […]

Once upon a time, the cast of La La Land were caught up in a hurricane, the Galveston Hurricane, actually, which dropped them in an alternate universe. In this alternate universe, La La Land did not receive a lot of critical attention while it was in theaters. Their movie was still the same as it is in … Continue reading Connected Creates

@ds106dc #ds106 #tdc1866 Less orange for a better world. pic.twitter.com/kRrdrBybPY — (((Terry Greene))) (@greeneterry) February 16, 2017 I chose this one because first, I think it’s funny and I fully agree with it and secondly, I liked the way they made it into a gif it was very creative. They could have just screen shotted ... Read more

This week’s assignments were all very fun, I must say. To be honest, however, I was very scared in the beginning when I approached them at first (as I always am!); but, after reading more instructions and following step-by-step tutorials, the process was a breeze! I was really surprised that a useful program like x-ray Goggle existed because I always …

For this assignment, I reviewed Agents on Air. There were a few factors that went into the show that I thought they did reallwell. Their marketing and social media presence were very realistic and interesting. I liked that during their show they encouraged the audience to tweet at them with suggestions. Their commercials were also effective, … Continue reading Agents on Air Review

The top 3 posts are: This logged Google Maps Trip: I really wanted to do this assignment but I don’t think I would have had enough time to do it, or battery. Where I grew up there were a lot of places that I would like to revisit and it’s really cool that they were …

This was initially really fun but then it became very annoying lol.  So my first story for this was actually a horror story and without realizing I hadn’t logged in, I wrote the whole thing and wasn’t able to get a shareable link.  But initially what drew me to this was that I have never […]

  https://thimbleprojects.org/HTTP/hbruns/238446/ This is my own take on a house for sale ad. This person needed to sell their house quickly, so I made sure to make the title something that displayed this. Also, I put some humor into it because I know that a lot of people like humor and respond well to it. ... Read more

For the Pinterest Dream Vacation assignment, I decided to find a few places that I’ve always wanted to visit and treat the trip as if money was no object. My board includes locations in Italy, Croatia, Germany, Poland, the Czech Republic, Hungary, and Russia. A lot of people talk about wanting to visit countries in western […]

This week was a fun and interesting one. I learned about telling stories via the web. The web assignments were fun and very informative. I also experienced using a new tool called x-ray goggles. This allowed us to create and edit existing webpages’ html and css. Once again I increased my knowledge in digital storytelling …

The week has finally end and it is time to post the Weekly summary! This week went by slow and was not as hectic as the other week previous. This week we had to tune in to listen to a radio on Monday and Tuesday. This radio shows were unique because the ds106 students created […]

@ds106dc #ds106 #tdc1899 There are lots of coincidences people share that we do not realize. pic.twitter.com/XoISQ80i9b — Nicholas Sebenaler (@NickSebenaler) March 22, 2017 @ds106dc #ds106 #tdc1901 pic.twitter.com/qZZW3uwo3E — Nicholas Sebenaler (@NickSebenaler) March 23, 2017 @ds106dc #ds106 #tdc1902 On the internet you must remember… pic.twitter.com/5vAeUsL7xC — Nicholas Sebenaler (@NickSebenaler) March 24, 2017 These three daily creates …

Once upon a time there was a small internet that didn’t have a lot of connections and was limited to the number of people on it. One day however, the US government issued a policy called open door, and released the floodgates of the internet to the public. Everyone was on it and had a …

For one of the Web Assignment Bank assignments for this week, I completed the Google Draw Something assignment. The task was just to complete the Google Quick Draw game and share your results on Twitter. You can see my tweet with my results below: I tried our this quick draw with Google thing for #ds106#aiexperiments #quickdraw […]

For one of the Web Assignment Bank assignments for this week, I completed the Create Your Own Adventure! assignment. For this assignment, we were tasked with using Inform 7 to create a short adventure. I have never used Inform 7, but this assignment seemed like a lot of fun. After downloading Inform 7, I had no idea […]

Above is a picture of a person’s blog I found and I used x-ray goggles to change this blog into my new blog. I removed their profile picture and put a picture of myself. I edit my name at the top of their blog page. I got this idea from thinking about spy techniques and …

This was the Chinese version of the magical wolf shirt on Amazon. I translated this ad and the English translation is really weird honestly, I can’t quite follow all of it. For example, the “Suitable for: Too large” was an interesting translation. The version is “loose version” and it uses “3D effect printing, super vision … Continue reading ""

Here is a screenshot of Google maps of exactly where I would travel to given the chance! Right around the area of Aspen and the White River National Forest. I’ve heard some of the absolute best things about Colorado as a whole, and am so excited to go one day. My ideal trip would be … Continue reading "Google Maps Trip"

Archives We started off listening to all the radio shows that the class created. Here are my thought’s on one of my favorites: Gladius Tenebris Secat Next I changed an entire webpage with X-Ray Goggles: Website Storytelling Then, 8 stars worth of web assignments: Dream Room-4.5 stars Dream Vacation-3.5 stars Finally, a story through Daily Creates!: Connect the Dots…or Tweets?

For one of the web assignments this week I made a photograph Timeline with Timeline JS. Since I’ve used Timeline JS for another class, it was pretty easy. For the assignment, we had to pick a color and go on a 20 minute walk, basically doing a photo blitz of the color and then put those pictures into … Continue reading Color Walk Time Lines

Archives This isn’t exactly a story per say but I thought it would be a fun way to connect My Daily Creates from this week! It all starts with Harry, Hermione, and Ron. Ron always feels left out and like a nobody around Harry and Herminone. Like he’s never good enough. Not even the dementors want him! @ds106 #tdc1899 pic.twitter.com/7k7OMUcjGE — Krystal Heflin (@k_heflin) March 22, 2017 Then we have our little house elf, Dobby, who’s so ugly that he manages to be cute. Dobby has spent his entire life as an abused servant to the Malfoys. Ron feels a […]

Since Pikachu was my representative Pokémon, I decided to place him on Amazon. For this assignment, I used x-ray Goggles program again. Once I found the page that I liked, I clicked on x-ray Goggles and changed several features on Amazon to fit the description of Pikachu. I decided to capture the print screen to present Pikachu’s main key points. …

I am not going to admit that this assignment was hard because it was. After several tries I decided to give up to the point that even watching an 18-minute video tutorial did not help. However, after a day of thinking about I decided that “Step works” would not make me give up so I […]

For this assignment, I was able to use one of my favorite sites, Pinterest, and incorporate my character, Annabella Smith, into it. You can see the entire Pintrest Board here. This was super fun and very surprising. I’ve been on Pinterest for a few years, but I was still surprised to find so many cool spy gadgets. … Continue reading You’re A Pinteresting Character
