Some unconfirmed rumors that a new device is coming out soon from Apple, the ultimate ds106 device, the 106pod- its evolution: Okay, this is actually a remix created for the ds106 Remix Generated assignment, Evolution [remixed] DS106-ersizer: This combines an original ds106 assignment: Evolution created by Isaac Thesatus Alot can happen from birth to death. Be creative, show how things; animals, objects, technology, evolve throughout time. This assignment doesn’t have to be precise, your object evolving doesn’t have to evolve the way is expected during the process of evolution.

We took a nap here at cogdogblog for a few hours last night but still had stuff to write about. And we usually tell our students in ds106 that the server being down is not something that should keep them from creating, that there are end arounds, that we need to know how to fish for cache. So I blogged over at my quiet little WordPress.com Laboratory (after tossing on a more modern theme) an example for one of the newest assignments in our two week unit on Remix/Mashups. In some earlier conversations with Jonathan Worth at phonar, we brainstormed the idea of on online media “recycle bin” – a place where students would upload media that was collected/created but ...
