So the week is almost done! I started the class late so when I finally got into the class, I was overwhelmed with all the required things to do: creating a domain, accounts, etc.  and this being my first online class I didn’t know what to expect. However as soon as I started the assignment […]

The first week of class will always be hectic and is even worse in a class that you never truly step foot in.  This class is not like any other I’ve taken before so there will be a learning curve even though I have previously taken online courses. So far in this first week, I have made …

The importance of showing your work to a community makes sense as a concept but Kleon’s 10 points help define the concept in a concise way. While all the points are certainly useful in the pursuit of sharing work I found the first two most applicable for me personally and the course. The idea of […]

I actually like the idea of the Secret Agent Theme. It reminds me of when I was a kid  playing all of the Nancy drew games and imagining that I was Nancy Drew fighting crime and discovering all the secret mysteries that nobody could. It also gives the class a sense of mystery and everybody […]

This whole speaking to a computer thing is new to me. So hopefully I’ll get more comfortable and actually plan out some cool topics in the future.

Top of the morning. Erm, well it’s 10:40… Guess I should get up earlier. Here’s a couple cool pictures I had laying around from my senior year of high school.   Guess I should get some more recent pictures since I’ve been in college an entire year and a half now… That’s a goal for […]

I’ve never had any type of class like this before so I am pretty excited about where this will go. Setup was a bit confusing but it’s under control now.

I felt like this week was a lot of work, but a lot of fun at the same time. To be honest I had to set up a new account for everything except for YouTube, and the only reason I had that was because of having a gmail account already established. Ive never used a …

What do I think about having a secret agent theme? Well to be honest I think its AWESOME. Who doesn’t like a god spy movie or a James bond film? I think that most everyone can get behind the idea of a secret agent theme and I also think its something that can bring us …

Welcome to my blog for DS106! This will be a place where I share my experiences and assignments while delving through UMW’s Digital Storytelling class. I’m incredibly excited to learn more about webpages and media in general while working in this class! For now, a brief intro seems suitable. About me – My name is […]

I think the message from this article is actually really good and very positive if you really read into the advice that is given. I especially liked the idea presented in number 3 which was “share something small every day”. I think this could apply a ton to getting your name out there and it …

#ds106 FOR LIFE — Michael Ryan (@mjryanonline) January 18, 2017

Many of the pointers listed in the article, “10 Ways to Share Your Creativity and Get Discovered”, are not very complicated. If anything, several of them are very simple and probably do not even need to be said.  Tips such as “Stick Around”, “learn to take a punch”, and “You do not have to be …

This week was a little stressful for me, as this was a decent amount of work to do in the short time I had. I was unable to figure out the SubDomain on my own, so I needed to go to the DTLT to get some help. I was able to go today, Wednesday, and …

The course theme of being a secret agent will help create some unity for the course but will come with its own set of challenges. Isn’t the whole point of being a secret agent that no one knows you’re a secret agent? It seems kind of counter intuitive to explicitly announce on the web and …

In my humble opinion I think that my first week of ds106 has been a success. I have never done anything remotely near to using all of these different websites, so it is interesting to see how they work and what you can do with them to express who you are or what is going …

I think that mission 106 is one of the coolest themes this class could take on. I am very excited to see where the class takes this theme and how we get to use it throughout the semester. My personal favorite secret agent is of course James Bond. My favorite bond is Danielle Craig because he …
