Just a quick post so that I can set up my blog!

So this is my first weekly summary! Wahoo! I learned a whole lot and have a feeling that I’ll get into the rhythm of all this madness eventually! I finally get to use my domain and blog daily, which has been a goal of mine. I learned how to use Sound Cloud and hopefully will … Continue reading Weekly Summary 1/11-1/15

Well, I said it before in my post with all my introductions but I’ll say it again. When I hear the term western I think of cowboys, horses, wagons, trains, gold mines, tumble weeds and bad guys looking for trouble in towns where Sheriffs rule over all. Well obviously going through the content given, that … Continue reading What is a Western to me?

@iamTalkyTina was calling for a GIFfight! last night, and today, in keeping with the #western106 theme, @mbransons called out “Draw!” and the bronco rider GIFfight! was on.  Quick to respond were @phb256 and @johnjohnston. Paul’s bronco is bucking while the world turns upside down, and John’s seems to be tumbling in a full 360º within […]

Two things happened today: one momentous, one not so. First, David Bowie died, unexpectedly for us but not for him and his family.  Like many other people stunned by his loss, I started to root around the Internet and found lots of gems, some that sparked memories and others that were new.  The less momentous … Continue reading Bowie and the Legendary Stardust Cowboy #DS106 #Western106

I cheated a bit on today’s Daily Create, which asked us to “take a photo of your favorite watering hole.” As soon as I saw the prompt I knew I was going to recycle a short video I took a … Continue reading →

Just posting a test post! Here’s to a great semester and hoping I understand all this media!!!

Mornin’ ladies and gents, I’ll be coming along this caravan ride through the wild west of the Internet. I hang my hat in Central Ontario, Canada where we have a Wild West ethos, with a little bit of North East thrown in. I passed my younger days in Western Canada where no one remembers which laws to … Continue reading Howdy, WesternDS106 →

Some of my upcoming posts may be directed at a DS106 course that I’ve decided to check-out. I’m not all that familiar with the DS structure so we’ll see how it goes and I’ll be feeling my way around a bit, starting with some ramblings. ********** What does it mean to be called a cowboy? […]

Went out for a horse to join the #western106 herd. Back soon.   ….  

Slight interlude: why “The Internet Kid”?

I have heard many different opinions about this class, both good and bad. When I registered for ds106, I had no idea what to expect. I wanted to take the class because it sounded really interesting and super helpful to know for the future. I am coming into this class blindly (because I am not […]

 

I wanted to share these two photos with y’all because they represent me really well. I lead Young life at UMW and the lord is a big part of my life. I am a geography major and love being outdoors all the time.

Quick introduction of myself with youtube, so excited for this class!

Getting back into the rhythm of ds10t thru #western 106. I created a GIF as sort of a promo and then remembered – “document the process for self and others” I am a little rusty- falling into some unfavorable avoidance lately – but here we go in trying to get back to better practice habits. ...

Yesterday I read a great post on open which included this point: Focusing on simple cost-benefit analysis models neglects the creative, fun and serendipitous aspects of openness and, ultimately, this is what keeps us learning. The Cost of Freedom – The Open World | Open World and noticed in Lorna’s twitter stream: Very interesting collection, … Continue reading "Giffing the open range"
