Final Mission

ds106 Advice…

Archives

So for our very final assignment, we were asked to give advice for future students. Professor Bond does send out an e-mail before the semester starts warning about the amount of work and time required for the course. Definitely take that e-mail to heart, he’s serious! The work itself …

DS106 was a really hard class with a ridiculous amount of work (for my super lax senior year schedule). I did learn a lot of cool new things though and I’m really glad I toughed it out. The radio show is the worst part. It was hard to work with …

Final project

This week I worked my butt off on the final project. I had a blast doing it, even though it was hard work. I focused mainly on the areas of audio, video, writing, design, and pictures. The prompt I chose to use was to investigate if Canada and …

I have noticed some weird happenings between Russia and Canada. Usually larger countries just make fun of Russia behind its back and move on, but Canada has been different. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and President Vladimir Putin have been buddy buddy lately from what I have seen. I, Benjamin Agos, …

This is it. My last sleuthy summary of the year! Kind of a sad moment if I’m honest.

This was definitely a cool class that exposed me to many new digital studies. I also really got to explore some creativity that I never knew I was capable of. With a …

This is Aaron Brand. The Accountant, is what they call him.

He says he just does people’s taxes. Last time I checked murder and theft weren’t on a W-2 form. This guy has to be stopped, and I’ve been itchin’ to deal out a healthy dose of justice. Here’s my …

It all started one dark and stormy night.

I was at home, minding my own business and enjoying a well-earned vacation when I go the call I had been waiting for.

It was the boss. “It’s go time” he said. “You need to be in Canada in …

Heyo prospective ds106 students!

Here’s some critical things you should know before taking this class:

Your quality of work and pride in your work will be directly proportional to the amount of time you put into this class. If you want to skate by and not actually make anything cool…

Hello agents! This is secret agent Scarlet Jones with a final write up about my final mission as a DS106 Agent. I have worked hard and endlessly on this case and am proud to share my reports and finding with you. A you all know, I recently accepting a case …

What should you know coming into this course?

Honestly nothing. The less you know the better and you will get the most out of this course not knowing anything coming in. If you have spent a lot of time doing image editing, audio editing/mixing, and video you will be bored …

This week, I decided to explore the undercover agents that were working with The Directorate to expose our agency. The agents ended up being Agent Fawn and Agent Paul Bond. This project was a lot of fun but I spent a lot of time recording and planning …

I have finally executed my ultimate mission and my advice to the fellow and prospective ds106 agents is, we must be vigilant at all times.

First, I conducted the Twitter poll last week; I then devised a plan for Agent Nice Guy to find out if Agent Moncure is a …

Throughout the week, Callie and I had a busy schedule so it was hard to schedule a time where we could meet up to finish planning the project and then record the mission. However, we found time to meet up on the google docs to think about our other platforms …

The end is here and I can’t believe I made it through. I tried to have fun with this project by making a short film with my character Agent Roberts.

Project Inspiration

It is not often that I have the opportunity to make a video, so I decided to really …

This week I have been writing the ridiculous story of Putin and Trudeau and I will admit that I initially struggle to find the right path to take but I am happy with where it ended and I hope some of you guys found it entertaining as well.  Unfortunately for …

For the final week of DS106, I collaborated with Cole (“The Accountant”) to determine whether an agent, such as Agent Fawn, was working with The Directorate to gather intelligence on our agents behind our backs… as well as any possible ties The Directorate or Professor Bond had to Russia. I …

I really did learn a lot about different areas of media and ways of creating and editing things such as audio, images, and video.  I really appreciated that new knowledge from this course.  My best advice would be to definitely stay on top of the assignments because this course is …

I have seemingly disjointed pieces of advice that was nonetheless useful to me during my Spring 2017 semester: plan and outline your assignment ideas early on each week, and try to only allocate reasonable amounts of time to complete each of your weekly tasks before giving yourself an initial ‘cut-off’ …

After  long night at the office I came home to a folder waiting on my desk.  I hesitate to open it but when I do this is what I find:

“We have unconfirmed reports that Canada is up to something, so we are looking to defuse the potential situation. Are …

There’s not much to put in this summary other than my final project and the ds106 advise. Both are fairly self explanatory in their posts, so I’ll let you enjoy them.

 

FINAL PROJECT

Advice for future agents

Thank you everyone for a great semester! Please don’t use any of …

This was my first and only online class I have ever taken or will ever take. While I did enjoy my time, it wasn’t the experience I was necessarily looking for. To learn a lot in this online class, you need to make sure you are self-motivated enough to put …

Last week, I chose the topic of uncovering the mystery of who the double agent in ds106 is. For my final project, I went through posts from one of our classmates’ blogs to examine material that would raise flags. I used a software called Slidestory to create my work, and …

Well, there you are. You are a. thinking about taking the class or b. in the class. Well here is your warning that you will get from others, there is a lot of work. Be prepared. When he sends that email at the semester, do not take it lightly. I …

Wow.

We are finally done.

My final project consisted of a really long evidence blog post where my agent mac took over the blog. She explains the situation that she was in, how it all started, and how it ended. This was really fun to do cause I got to …

This week was the final of the final weeks of DS106. It’s been an exciting a crazy semester. My advice for future DS106 students post really captures the spirit of anything I could say about this course.

Amari and I worked together to create a interesting and multimedia filled project …

Creative Warning:

This blog post is the explanation the full on summary of everything, and I do mean everything (or as close to as possible) that went into the creation of the final project created by Agent Amari and I. So! If you haven’t viewed our final project please go …

Agent Zero is on a mission. Director Bond of DS106 Headquarters asked Zero for her help in finding out who has been spying on the DS106 agents for the Directorate. The Directorate recently interviewed DS106 agents and concerns sparked that she had a secret mole among the operatives. Agent Zero …

Hi Newcomers,

Welcome to DS106, its one hell of a ride.

My one advice to you is to be creative. The class became enjoyable once I started making all my posts funny. You dont need experience in photoshop, or any software really, but google will become your best friend. I …
