To me, the word storytelling is a way to bring people’s imagination, comprising of their own thoughts and feelings, and maybe aspects from other stories they liked, to life. A story could be fact or fiction. It brings the image of a campfire to mind with all of my friends and family around it. My grandpa … Continue reading →

My peak utopia was SIMPLE! All I need is a basketball court and a nice day. Been playing since I could walk and when I am playing it just erases all problems from my head! #DailyCreate @ds106dc #tdc1343 . My utopia/happy place is a nice day and a basketball court.

Swarley the Dinosaur: The story I choose to talk about was the story Swarley the Missing Dinosaur by Christine’s World. The reason why I picked this story to talk about and analyze is because the title caught my eye. The story was about a dinosaur who went walking in the woods with his family but the dinosaur fell down a

My daily create on September 12th. This is my fourth daily create of the week. I had to draw a picture of a mountaintop retreat with a bunch of things I like.   @ds106dc Mountain Retreat for #tdc1343 pic.twitter.com/HvpRA9WGOE — Ben Brady (@...

The blog post I chose to read was written over three years ago and it is called Mirror, Mirror. I chose this digital story at first because the assignment name sounded fun, which was “The Way It Should Have Been,” and it asked bloggers to reenact stories from movies, books, or TV in a way that […]

@ds106dc #tdc1343 #ds106 pic.twitter.com/ZX02cM2Jak — Kelsey Stanbro (@KelseyStanbro) September 12, 2015 Today’s daily create  was to create your utopia on top of a mountain. The only thing mine is missing is an ice cream mountain in the background!

Personally, I’m more of a forest person (mountains a little too cold for me), but this home would be pretty great!

I really loved the idea of this activity, having to tell a story without words. And, once I had finally figured out what kind of story I wanted to tell, it was a lot of fun trying to arrange everything, get the lighting I wanted, and figure out how I wanted to convey what was […]

I was attracted to “Broke Sophomore in College” due to its relatable title, as can be imagined, and it’s very true to said title. The story itself is told in a rather simplistic way, like a cautionary fairytale you’d tell your young children, but it serves its purpose in relating a story about a college […]

It was really great looking at other student’s blogs and I was able to learn quite a few things about the people in my class and even some different ideas for my blog. One thing I learned that I found incredibly helpful was another way to make a gif. One girl that I saw made her gif […]

Hello everybody! Kurt Vonnegut’s PRESENTATION was short but so very funny and entertaining! This was a very fun ASSIGNMENT as well because most stories really do fall…

Hey guys and gals! Another daily create posted! I had to try very hard not to re-draw this a thousand times because if something isn’t…

“My championship once lost is lost forever.” –Pride and Prejuice   This makes almost no sense.

In the palace of the mind, there are many chambers.  Rooms well lit and home to orderly thoughts.  The places we go when in civil conversation with out sister in law.  There are also the wine cellars, home to the unique and savory thoughts upon which our personality rests.  Then, down deep in the bowels […]

I could take a picture of my lunch. Did you want that pre or post consumption? Pre or post digestion? Today, I had a moderately decent bibimbap from a food truck over on 13th street. The hot and cold ingredients came in separate containers as well as a small side of kimchi. The bibimbap came […]

My daily create on September 11th. This is my third daily create of the week. I had to change one letter of a movie title and then draw a scene from that movie. I chose A Beautiful Mind and changed it to A Beautiful Rind, featuring John Nash as an orange. The tweet: "A Beautiful Rind" Drawn for #tdc1342 … Read More →

I checked out all the stories and “30,000 miles in 30 seconds” video  was by far my favorite. I really liked the movie, it was well done and fun to see the different landscapes in the US. The fact that the publisher drove across the country and his reasoning for doing so is what makes … Continue reading Appreciating Past DS106 Stories “30,000 miles in 30 seconds”

“Jurassic Lark” A lark is a species of bird. The replaced the letter “P” with “L”. I chose this movie because I recently saw the newest Jurassic Park movie and I also enjoy drawing animals. I tweeted this picture as well Daily Create movie picture. 

Storytelling has many different definitions depending on who you ask.  It’s as much a concept as it is an action.  Personally, storytelling to me is the idea of implanting settings and characters into one’s head, fictional or not.  A good… Continue Reading →

Remember that movie with Ashton Kutch-tar? “Dude, where’s my tar?” “It’s right there dude. Use the hidden switch.”

This daily create was to add to a poetry writing by Fransesco Lovato. I found this daily create to be interesting since he wanted our input all over twitter! This is the magic of digital sharing over twitter and other applications. #tdc1340: The current poem is #pxc001 and the first line is based on my … Continue reading Daily Create 9/9/15

For this daily create on September 8, we had to cheer up my fellow student, Kelsey since she was having computer troubles. This is the worst, so I understood. It was funny actually because I’m not sure how I would feel being the center of the daily create for the day. #tdc1339: Her computer crashed and … Continue reading Daily Create 9/8/15

On September 7, the Daily Create was actually one that I created! So this was exciting. I made this daily create because I love dolphins. And the picture that was used was adorable, I have to say. #tdc1338: Dolphin Meets Crab: Write a caption for what is in the mind of a dolphin as it travels … Continue reading Daily Create 9/7/15

For this daily create, we were given the task to change  one letter in a movie title and then draw...

Turns out I forgot to post my daily create on my blog and I also have to re-post it because one of my hashtags didn’t come out right. My poetry line: We do not know who we are until we look away from others, yet look to others for help.

Winter was the only time I never went there. From spring, from the first time the snows melted and the mud was still so thick you couldn’t drive all the way to the first dry flurries mixed white shards with now dulled colours. I would walk there, down the lane. It was not far; from […]

The Ocean in my Backyard: There is an ocean in my backyard, and this ocean is vast, full of creatures, mysterious, and a little scary. The ocean is a vast green expanse that goes on for miles.The creatures in the ocean are small, large, friendly and dangerous. The deeper you go into the ocean the more mysterious it gets because
