I feel like this week was very easy compared to the amount of work we’ve had in the previous weeks! First was the evaluation of radio shows. I shared my thoughts on the Digital StoryFellas show and my group’s show, Wacky History. My reflections can be found here and here, respectively. Next was the Storytelling … Continue reading Weekly Summary 9 →

Wacky History is as simple as it sounds. Our group focused on the history or random, wacky objects. We all did our segments separately so it was nice to hear how they all came together in the end. I honestly have nothing negative to say about the show and I would rate it 5/5 stars. … Continue reading A Wacky Review →

FREEDOM! Well, until all the work for week 10 starts… How well do you feel you completed the requirements of the week’s assignments? What gave…

The radio show I had to review was Digital StoryFellas. Overall the audio was good but levels aren’t even at some point and there are fluctuation of volumes.  As a whole the show was clear of unnecessary background noises except for one small part. The audio editing was average, you can tell each part was recorded … Continue reading Digital StoryFellas: A Review →

Here’s a little story about the week I had. I, Cheryl, wanted to take a day trip this week. I decided to get dressed up real nice and go to the local art museum to check out the Picasso tribute they had this month. I woke up Thursday morning, put on my Crocs and got my … Continue reading Daily Create Story →

I listened to the Wack History Radio Show It was a clever show I thought it was a good idea to make the show about history. Making the show about a subject as endless as history allowed a for a lot of opportunity for dialogue and interesting topics. I have a few criticisms of the … Continue reading Radio Show Reviews

The beginning the speaker sounds very mellow, doesn’t sound very interested at all. The background music is very loud and different, doesn’t sound like it goes with the show very well. I can;t really hear him at all. The first commercial sounded very Halloween like and scary I enjoyed it! The Second story I thought […]

Whacky History This week, I reviewed ‘Whacky History’, a radio show made by members of DS106. The show was a combination of several informational segments with commercials and bumpers, all having to do somewhat with history. The show managed to capture my attention and it wasn’t hard to listen too, as the show was moderately … Continue reading Radio Show Evaluations

This radio reflection is on my own group, “The Digital Storyfellers”, I actually thought that ours wasn’t to bad at all for guys that never worked together before. The beginning Caleb I thought spoke very clearly and was easy to understand. There wasn’t isn’t background noise. Playing the music in between the two segments was […]

Today’s tutorial will be on how to use a YouTube to MP3 converter. I have found this useful in many different assignments, specifically audio assignments. Lets get started! … Continue reading All About A Cool Tool →

Connecting the Dots So the lovely Nature Stick Man was lying at the beach reciting his favorite Shakesmorean poem when all of a sudden two crazy preteen girls jump out of the water and starting dancing to a Pit Bull song. Nature Stick Man was at a lost of what to do. He really didn’t want to be […]

Meet Walter. You can check out his profile and see if he might be a match for you. Walter only has so much time left, and hopes you wouldn’t mind traveling to Northern Vermont to meet him. Steller is a really cool App! I didn’t know it existed until now but I had a lot … Continue reading Love Doesn’t Always Need to Be Hot

The IMBD page for The Notebook with a slightly different description. The assignment had us change something about a preexisting web page to tell a story. I decided to change in IMBD page because it gives the description of a movie so I wanted to change it into my own story. Using X-Ray Goggles, I … Continue reading Storytelling within the Web →

Here is the original assignment. What a cool guy, Chad Koder. The man who was born knowing how to develop software. He had never spent a day at school; rather, he spent his time researching online. He is trying to leave Google to work someplace else; his friends and family have questioned his motives, “why … Continue reading Chad Koder

Here is the original assignment. Oh, vacation. How infrequent this word is spoken. Everyone else seems to be on an eternal vacation while we are working away. If time could stop for a moment, I would go on such a wondrous journey. First, I would travel to very remote locations, such as these… Follow Chris’s board Places to … Continue reading Dream Vacation

Here is the original assignment. Have you ever been fooled by a fake website? Did the site look just like the website you were intending to visit? It’s not hard to modify a website in subtle ways as to maintain it’s appearance yet change its message. I modified the website Wallpaper* to become Code*, a website … Continue reading Code*
