Relating a past student’s work to what/how I think of digital storytelling: http://inspire.ds106.us/emojis/ Above is a link to an in[SPIRE] page that I found and it instantly became my favorite. The way Amy Clark told her story through her own facial expressions and relating to the emojis was definitely awesome. Personally, I am a huge emoji […]

My reaction to Vonnegut’s way of storytelling: The way Vonnegut looks at and analyzes storytelling is an amazing gift. As I watched this video a few times, the way he explains the stories through lines, curves, and short words makes the story come to life in a different sense other than watching it as a […]

For today’s daily create, I decided to try and replicate the slope formula, or more commonly known as M = rise/run. Enjoy!

http://youtu.be/QrGBHBvRNU0 My twist on the shapes of stories. One theme for Nine different movies. Cinderella Beauty and the Beast Jungle Book Little Mermaid Lion King Alladin Toy Story Finding Nemo Lilo and Stitch

I chose to create a storyline of shapes from the song “Bartender (Sittin’ at a Bar)”. Although I have only heard the song a handful of times, I felt as if this storyline is not like others might be. His high point started at the beginning when he felt as if escaping from jail being […]

When I think of the word storytelling one man instantly pops into my head, Walt Disney. He is the ultimate story teller. He has brought many stories not only alive through his cartoons and through his live action movies; but through his kingdom, Disney World.  He took a story book and created a visual. Then […]

This is my everyday wake up ritual. I hit the snooze till the last second and I rush around to get to class on time.

The prompt for today’s daily create was to create a lune based on something you do everyday. Starting this I had no idea what a lune was. For those who still don’t know its similar to a haiku, but its only based on number of words and doesn’t have to …

Flickr Lune Poem of an Ordinary Act

When I hear the word story telling, the image that always comes to my mind is someone sitting in a rocking chair with a book reading aloud to a group of children. I can remember sitting around listening to the teacher read up until second grade. I picture a short 15 minute book, with lots […]

To me storytelling is a concept of thoughts and ideas that come together on and off paper, it is of made up stories as well as real-life evens and silly things to help kids go to sleep. My family tells all sorts of stories I’ve heard stories on things that happened in war, stories about […]

Something I do everyday on a daily basis, gotta love my jams

This is my attempt on a lune poem, and it describes what I do routinely (not each day, but often) and that is make myself some breakfast. However it does not look as fancy as it is being presented I might add, as I am only capable of making cheesy eggs and ham inside a […]

5-3-5 poem for ds106 #tdc976 #ds106polack flic.kr/p/oSPUgG

This is my lune poem dedicated to chai tea. I prepare a cup every morning to get my day started. The herbs and spices help to preserve health and increase peace of mind.

When I think of storytelling I think of someone else sitting you and captivating your mind with a tale. I visualize a grandparent telling his grandchild a story about the old days in front of a fireplace. I see myself hanging on to every word my dad speaks as he tells a funny story from …

I chose to use make-up to write about because in the morning, I will always apply at least primer, foundation and blush even if I only have 5 minutes to get ready. To me, this does not consider me high-maintenance. I just feel as if have just a little base coat to my skin makes […]

I thoroughly enjoyed the “Silent Era: Back to the Future” submission by Ben Rimes. I have seen all of the Back to the Future films over the years, and enjoyed them all. I also used to like watching all of the old time silent movies on Saturday mornings with my sisters. The actors in those films […]

When I think of the word storytelling, I think of an array of ideas. The act of hand motions and gestures pop into my head when storytelling takes place. Storytelling means being in a calm place at one point, but then in a flash of a second, I could be in a horrific, humorous, scary […]

When I think of the term “storytelling”, I visualize books/novels written by great philosophers/authors. The classics like Charlotte’s Web and Romeo and Juliet come to mind, but a story can be told in other forms as well. Anyone is capable … Continue reading →

Storytelling can have a lot of different meanings according to multiple people. For me, I view storytelling as an action centralizing around one individual: the storyteller. That individual sets the tone of the entire story by introducing a bunch of significant elements that will piece the story together as the story goes on. Storytelling does […]

Storytelling. What does that mean to me? I think of plays written by Shakespeare, I think of Romeo and Juliet or Othello. When I heard the word storytelling it brings images to my mind of classic epics by Homer such as the Illiad and the Odyssey. Storytelling does not necessarily need to be something that […]

As the paint fills the cracks, the fumes fill the air and the rattle of the can echoes through the silence of the dark tunnel, suddenly he hears the dings of the railroad crossing sign alerting him a train is coming. He then takes a minute to look into the tunnel and noticed a train […]

“But this too is true: stories can save us.” —  Tim O’Brien, The Things They Carried   The word storytelling can be defined in a plethora of ways. For me storytelling incorporates many different elements. There is a key speaker or storyteller that sets the story with a visual picture as they begin. You are […]

Stories are a part of everyday life. Each and every day we hear some type of story from someone. News stories, the reason why your co-worker was late for work story, and even the bed time story you make up for your child at bedtime. Stories have a incredible ability to take us from where we […]

I can’t express how much better this week was. Sure there was a lot more to do in terms of assignments, but I didn’t have near the number of technical issues I had in the first week. The other part that made this week better was that the assignments were …
