Wesch thinks that the Superlative way we can teach students is to make them “Knowledge-able” instead of just Knowledgeable. And to have them attack real life problems, and things that we don’t have the answer to, and direct them in figuring out those problems, while simplifying their use of the best existing tools like YouTube, … Continue reading Knowledgeable to Knowledge-able

This week’s assignments required me to: Complete four Daily Creates, install plugins and customize my DS106 blogging space, two reflection...

Michael Wesch’s talk about being Knowledge-able and creating an identity through media reminds me a lot of what I have...

After reading Campbell’s “A Personal Cyberinfrastructure” and watching the video I love the way his mind works and what he thinks about the whole world of technology. Kids my age and younger are all taught from when we enter elementary school how to use and work a computer. That is all we know and to … Continue reading “A Personal Cyberinfrastructure” Reflection

I don’t know the first thing about anthropology, but I do know a good amount about technology and being an unmotivated, apathetic student.  Michael Wesch’s talk about using new media in the classroom to keep student’s interested in learning and… Continue Reading →

Summary: Week 2 This week I feel was the big week to learn how to really navigate your blog  and make it yours by adding plugins and widgets. The only thing I had trouble with was photoshop, creating videos, and adding an add comment box on my blog. I tried a few different things to try and figure out how

Reflection: I wasn’t quite sure what to expect from the title of the lecture Knowledgeable to Knowlege-able(Part 1, Part 2) by Michael Wesch but I guessed it was about learning. I guessed since I’m in a digital storytelling class that the article had something to do with computer/ technology. Michael Wesch does a very good job explaining his belief that

This week was very exciting! I enjoyed all the things we had to do this week and the difficulties I came across helped me learn more about blogging and other online applications.  I had trouble when completing the storytelling assignment but it was also the assignment I enjoyed most. Before this I had never made a GIF … Continue reading Weekly Summary 2 →

“Resistance throws you into time. Acceptance discloses the timeless.” https://t.co/oFIVT3TCbi @ds106dc #tdc1337 — James Baylor (@JamesBaylorUMW) September 7, 2015  

Reflection: My first expectation of the article A Personal CyberInfrastructure by Gardner Campbell was that it would be about people and their online social life. I figured the article would be talking about how people are on the internet to much or how to make good use of the web as a social outlet. I was however wrong because the

Assignment:  Say it Like the Peanut Butter –http://assignments.ds106.us/assignments/say-it-like-the-peanut-butter/ When we were tasked with creating a GIF from a key scene from our favorite movie, I knew pretty quickly which scene I wanted to use.  This is a scene from one of my favorite movies, “No Country For Old Men.”  It comes towards the end of … Continue reading “People Always Say the Same Thing” – Visual Assignment #1

Prompt: Just write a blog post to represent a starting point to outline what storytelling means to you. More like an association exercise than a, academic treatise. What comes to mind visually when you think of the word? Think about what the word brings to mind: images, places, people, sounds. Who do you recall as telling you […]

Assignment 1: “Say it like peanut butter” Assignment Directions: Take a clip from your favorite movie and make it into a GIF.   The Story Behind the Story:  This clip is of the character Baymax from the movie Big Hero 6. The scene I choose for for the GIF is one of the more funny scenes in the movie,since Baymax

How well do I feel I completed the requirements of this week’s assignment? I created a sister blog to my main blog Zimcode. (I did not feel as though DS 106 content would always be applicable to the software theme of Zimcode) I created a page that embeds a GIF image I had created from the … Continue reading Week 2

Gardner Campbell’s article and video is helping us, the students and anyone else, understand the  value of connecting with others...

The second week is over and it was certainly more stressful than I thought it would be. Of course, that could be because I kept putting off the daily creates, and had almost completely forgotten about the reflections until this weekend. Always keep an agenda/list/schedule of the things you need to do. Do not be […]

The title of Michael Wesch’s presentation, “Knowledgeable to Knowledge-able”, was intriguing. I could vaguely guess what it meant: to go form knowing things, to being able to learn things. A typical tale of unlearning the rote memorization we are taught throughout our school life and…well, learning how to learn. This is a problem that I […]

I definitely enjoyed getting into the nitty-gritty of the class this week! It was definitely overwhelming in a lot of ways, but I liked being able to experiment and explore with the various assignments. Overall, I executed and completed the assignments well. Each one was done fully and to the best of my own ability, […]

So this second week has shown yet again, that I honestly do not have a large knowledge base about the Internet and its uses and capabilities. I learned a great deal about how perfect the interwebs are for letting creativity flow and linking people together in meaningful ways. Not only did I learn more uses […]

Before reading about Campbell’s ideas on how universities handle internet sharing and technology, and watching his conference on the same concepts, I always saw everything about the Internet as revolutionary. It’s an ever changing world with technology advancing so rapidly so I never stopped to think how much creativity can flow on the internet. In today’s […]

Listening to Wesch’s perspective on the influence of technology and its impact on the world made me think of things differently. As the importance of technology continues to grow its important that we use it to benefit us and the growth of cultures around the world. In his presentation, Wesch states that media are not … Continue reading Michael Wesch: Knowledgeable to Knowledge-able →

I find it necessary to discuss this particular daily create, as, when I initially read the prompt, I thought it was so vague and confusing. “Resistance throws you into time. Acceptance discloses the timeless.” I thought about it all day. How would you illustrate something like that? What exactly does it mean to me? Eventually […]

How well do I feel I completed the requirements of the week’s assignments? This week definitely went smoother than last week. I am becoming more comfortable using all the technology tools and wordpress every day. I completed all the requirements for the week. I did 5 daily creates, two GIF’s, two reflections, and installed jetpack, … Continue reading Weekly Summary 2

How well do I feel I completed the requirements of this week’s assignments? I thought I did a decent job this week. I really got into some of the assignments and really enjoyed both of the refection pieces but I was a little bit lackluster on a couple of the daily creates. I suppose that’s … Continue reading Weekly Summary for Week 2

The last thing I had expected was to be watching an anthropology professor build his case on how much the Internet and connects us as humans. I assumed that as a anthropology professor, Mike Wesch would be all about the face to face interaction, yet he wasn’t. He advocated for the world wide web and making […]

I really liked the presentations by Michael Wesch. The series was called Knowledgeable to Knowledge-able” and it’s a topic that was actually very interesting and more thought provoking than I would have expected. The presentations were about a new media environment that our society is currently living through and the difference between knowing something and … Continue reading “Knowledgeable to Knowledge-able”

This week’s first reflection piece “A Personal Cyberinfrastructure” was packed with information and insights to a topic that I actually have thought about often. As a student I always feel that I’ve been missing out on the current technology age that our society is moving through because I haven’t really taken any steps to improve … Continue reading “A Personal Cyberinfrastructure”

The second week of Digital Storytelling 106 is coming to a close and I am starting to feel a lot better about this class. We were assigned a lot of work to do this week and some of it felt a little tedious. We had to install a couple of plugins for our domain, do … Continue reading Weekly Summary Week 2! →

For Gardner Campbell’s article and presentation on the “Personal Cyberinfrastructure”, I started reading it expecting to be confused, seeing as I had no idea what a “cyberinfrastructure” could be. I believe I thought it would be a discussion on some science about how computers and the internet works as far as blogging is concerned. And […]

Michael Wesch said “it is ridiculously easy to connect, organize, share, collect, collaborate, and publish with anybody and to anybody in the world.” This is true because the online world gives us the tools and opportunities to collaborate with people from all over the world. We just have to find and use them. Through my … Continue reading Reflection of Michael Wesch: Knowledgeable to Knowledge-able →
