    Appreciating DS106 of the Past

    by
    Searching through in[SPIRE} I found a video called Return to The Silent Era: Moonrise Kingdom, which was created by BOWTIES AND SKULLS. I am a big fan of movies and I always like to watch the trailers before they come out, so this movie trailer caught my attention. I have seen the trailer for Moonrise Kingdom before […]

    by

    My semester is in full swing. Between the SGA meetings, The Blue & Gray Press meetings, work, internships, emails, and my classwork I barely find time to have a social life. We are all pretty busy so if you are anything like me I am sure you found it a little hard to remember to do Daily Creates. I forgot… Read more →

    Emojis are very Inspiring

    by
    For my appreciating DS106 from the past I found an awesome assignment done by Amy Clark. She took different emojis and took pictures of herself imitating those chosen emojis and not only did she do that, she did it in public with people watching her wondering what she was doing. It is special because it […]

    The shape of stories

    by
    While watching this video of Kurt Vonnegut, I realized that this reminded me of something similar I learned a long time ago in either elementary or middle school about the story line. You have a flat line for the beginning (Exposition) that sets the stage and the characters then you have a turn at the […]

    ā€œThings Fall Apartā€-Vonnegut Style!

    by
    Check out my rendition of Things Fall Apart-Vonnegut Style! To create this video, I used two programs.  The first was Microsoft Expression Encoder 4, which is essentially just a screen capture program and editing software.  The second, was obviously Microsoft Paint!  I simply opened up a clean paint program on one half of the screen, and...

    Storytelling and Digital Storytelling

    by
    when I think of story telling the first thing that comes to my mind is my grandmother or my mother telling me things that has happened in their lives; which are mostly in the past. Most of them are sad, scary and hurtful. Even though some of the events are joyful, the ones that stuck […]

    Five Card Flickr Story

    by
    This assignment has been the most interesting and difficult assignment for me personally. Going into it I thought it would be easy to create a story through five random pictures. However, once I started to pick the pictures a lot of them did not go well together and it was very difficult to create a […]

    The Shape of Stories

    by
    The movie I choose to show Kurt Vonngut’s method of storytelling is Disney’s Hercules. When I was a kid, this was my all time favorite Disney movie and it still is today. In this movie, it is not a common method where a story beings at the bottom and continues to rise all the way to a […]

    The Week in Review (9/7)

    by
     What is storytelling? http://ashleighengels.wordpress.com/2014/09/09/telling-you-my-story-of-storytelling/ Creating my own definition of storytelling was harder that I thought it would have been. I definitely could have gone more in depth with where I have heard stories from and how they shaped my definition of it. After I posted my blog, I went and looked up a variety of […]

    DS106 Throwback: iPad in the fridge

    by
    As I am navigating through the in[SPIRE] page, I was aiming for something I thought I found humorous and somewhat clever/witty. I was intrigued by a post called “iPad in the fridge” by Kevin Shavalay, and it made me laugh right away once I saw the picture that was attached to this post. Not only does it provide […]
