This assignment was rated 2 stars and it was to use Google’s drawing game to create art and have Google guess what it is. I had no clue on what to expect. I thought […]

Best of ds106 showcase: There was so much work to go through. I wish I could have spent more time going through these, or a more organized  way of finding specific assignments, but I feel like there are just so many sites being utilized for this class, it’s easy to get lost in the web …

The more shows I listen to, the more I realize how different our show was from everyone else’s. I guess that can be a good thing, but it worries me that we were thinking down a completely different path than everyone else. This is an example of one of those shows, and it was really …

There has been a lot of good work being done so far by the class. It kind of makes me feel bad about my work (not really) but still really good. This one called “Spy Phone Conversation” by Daniel Hawkins is great. It’s really simple and well done. My only wish is that it was …

1900 was a pivotal year in the world of sports, as the second ever modern Olympic games were held, giving a new emphasis to the world of sports. Garnering little media attention, the sports world was an innocent landscape filled with humble athletes: @ds106dc #tdc1900 Paris Olympics 1900. You think she's showing too much ankle? …

Dear ds106, Hi! My name is Peter and I live in the Netherlands. I love spicy noodles, soup, candy… basically, everything spicy! In an attempt to fulfill my spiciness dream, I took on a mission and decided to travel to Korea. Here is my story: It all started when I was ten, in the year 1900. The government mandated that all children …

I decided to tune in and listen to the radio show ‘Agents on Air”. I really liked the beginning of the show. I think that they had a great opening hook! I loved the sounds and the music. Great opener. I also loved that they had 4 different agents on the air and used this …

Another Week down! this semester is flying by it seems, I really enjoyed all of the final products that the radio show groups produced. I thought they came out really well for it being most peoples first time attempting to create something like that, including my own. I’m sure most groups had their own challenges as … Continue reading Week 9 Summary

For this assignment I decided to take a different approach. Rather than mapping out a trip that I had been on, I decided to map out the “locations” of my childhood. I came across the realization that I really didn’t travel very far from home on average. I was either at school during the day and playing sports at … Continue reading Google Map Trip

For this Assignment I decided to stay on this Ds106 post and change the whole assignment around to create the most frustrating assignment ever created. There are no instructions and the header pretty much says continue at your own risk. Good thing this isn’t real because there Is no starting or ending point to this … Continue reading Ghosts From Ds106 Past

So I spent HOURS trying to figure out stepworks because it look much more interesting to me, but I don’t think I succeeded in my quest.

Back in the 1900, laziness was not part of everyones day. You worked to provide for your family, kids were always outside to play since there wasn’t things like TV and games to do inside, and times were good since America was not becoming obese due to these activities. @ds106dc #ds106 #tdc1900 For some reason […]

I’ve always wondered what people use to make emails that look like this, and now I’m glad I do! To stick with the spy theme, I made an email from the government, warning them that all cameras are watching them. I used the website mentioned in the assignment listing, Vertical Response. It was really easy …

“Birthday Celebration” by Amari really needs to be celebrated, no pun intended. This is an audio mashup of different sounds from a CC search and put together to sound like a recording of a surprise birthday party. It was really well done and the inclusion of Amari’s own voice to say “shhhh” before fading out the … Continue reading Ds106showcase

I thought everyone did a great job with their radio shows, all the hard work really paid off. The ideas were really original and the shows were fast paced and kept the listener engaged throughout. I believe the biggest problem for most of the groups was making the dialogue and the background audio connect while … Continue reading Radiolisten
