This week was all about Web Assignments. Before now, I had never thought how creating and altering web pages could be a form of digital storytelling. I now see how this can be a great tool in telling digital stories through editing HTML, as well as utilizing social media to create characters which tell their […]

“Create A Pinterest Board Of Your Dream Vacation This is an assignment for dreamers!” I’ve always wanted to visit the Caribbean Islands so that is what I decided to make my Pinterest board about. I’ve never used Pinterest so this is a whole new thing for me. First I had to sign up for Pinterest since … Continue reading →

For my final Web Assignment of the week, I am completing the required assignment Storytelling Within The Web: From the Spring 2011 ds106 class came the idea of changing up an existing web page to tell a new story” you will be intervening in the code and design of a website of your choice to […]

@ds106dc #tdc1386 "David doesn't do digital design" — Kelsey Stanbro (@KelseyStanbro) October 25, 2015 After Ollie’s friend made him try this tongue twister he thought of the one that goes “Sally sells sea shells by the sea shore” and decided to go down to the beach for the day.

This week we had to review another group’s radio show, as well as our own. We were asked to evaluate them according to audio sound and editing quality, use of sound effects and music and the show’s structure and story. I had the chance to listen to and evaluate Wacky History which gave several informational […]

For this assignment I got my inspiration from The Mountain Three Wolf Short Sleeve Shirt. I decided to do my post on Amazon as well for a One Direction cut out. One of my roommates is a huge One Direction fan so we had just watched the movie which must be why I thought of […]

Our radio show had a Halloween theme since Halloween is right around the corner which I thought was very clever of us. Our show consisted of Adam Hoff(me), Andrew Boswell, Kelsey Stanbro, Miles Davis, and Sean Morris. Intro: Speaker(Me) was clear at the beginning but after a couple seconds the music drowned me out. I … Continue reading →

In general, I had a lot of fun making our Wacky History radio show. It was great figuring out all of the history on dentures and wedding rings because both are still quite relevant today despite the fact they have been around for centuries. Overall, I believe it turned out to be a great show […]

Radio Show Reviews: This week, we had to review our own Radio Show and another show as well. This was interesting because I compared and also contrasted what our groups did differently. I tried my best to be fair and hopefully I offered some good tips. I was happy to do this because I felt … Continue reading Weekly Summary #9

I really enjoyed the intro of the radio show.  For a second, I thought I was actually listening to the...

To start off, I thought the name Digital Story Fellers was pretty clever since it sounds very close to digital story tellers. This group comprised of James Baylor, Jack Brooks, Justin Lawrence, Caleb Snow, and Christopher Zimmerman. Intro: The beginning typewriter sounds although nice sounding, I thought were a bit random and didn’t really need … Continue reading →

For this assignment, we needed to remix a website using its codes. I used Mozilla X-ray Goggles in order to see behind the scenes of a website. (5 stars). I wanted to use a website that I use often! I online shop a lot, and I visit this online boutique on a daily basis to … Continue reading Telling Stories Within The Web

Overall the Digital Story Fellers radio show was great. It had current even stories that were very interesting and many were quite compelling. The show had very serious tone due to the stories that they told but they had fun music in between each segment which made it fun to listen to. The following are […]

We have reached the end of week nine and are officially past the halfway point for the semester. This week, we worked on creating stories within the web. This was a new concept for me, and I learned a lot of new tricks and techniques. One of our big assignments was to use Firefox’s x-ray … Continue reading Looking Back: Week Nine

I used some twigs from my yard and a few flowers from my garden to create a slumbering stick person. 10/22/2015: #tdc1383 @ds106dc my happy place is my kitchen, but the trash is … Continue reading Week Nine: Daily Creates

The second assignment, Character Resume, was 3.5 stars. The assignment was to create a character resume. I originally wanted to do Micheal Scofield from Prison Break because he would have an interesting resume and I figured that it would be origins. However I found that it was really hard to recall specifics and online didn’t […]

#tdc1386: Write a tongue twister. @ds106dc #tdc1386 "the water well washes white wildflowers" — miranda ds106 (@mirandabloggin) October 25, 2015 —SALTY SKINN

Today’s daily create is a tongue twister. Here is my tongue twister…I cannot say it properely three times fast. “A crowd of clumsy clowns crushed the king’s crown.  Here is my twitter link.

This assignment was really simple but I had a lot of fun doing it. For 3.5 stars, the assignment required me to create a Pinterest board and pin to it all things that reflected my dream vacation(s). The pins on my vacation board range from Disney World to climbing Mount Kilimanjaro to road-tripping across the … Continue reading Pack your bags, we’re taking a trip! →

Getting back into the swing of things after the hectic Radio Show week was difficult. Daily creates, assignments, etc. etc. Just back to the grind. This week, we were learning about storytelling in the web, but it felt to me more like…regular storytelling. I’m still not sure how the web comes into play, aside from […]

The other thing we had to do for this week was an evaluation of our own radio show, Wacky History. Quality of Sound There is some sudden loud noises, like the transition from the initial loud Rachel introduction, to the second segment that she sent to me after the initial draft. There’s also some strange […]

For this week, I am one of the evaluators of The Verge radio show. Quality of Sound For the first official segment (not including the introductory section that explains what all will be discussed on the show), the music is a bit too loud and almost overpowers the voice. It’s not super overwhelming, but it […]

I think it’s safe to say that every DS106 student was fairly relieved when the radio show assignment finally came to a close last week. It was tough work coordinating the work of 6 people over the web to make one cohesive radio show. So when I went to the DS106 web page to check … Read More →

Not having my assignments till Tuesday made it difficult to get all my work done, as I do most of the work either Sunday or Monday (or at least start […]

Storyline motion that is. Click through the pictures to read the story! (side note: my pictures had to be reposted into Flickr since I simply replied with photos on Twitter […]
