This week’s Daily Creates were all really fun. If I am being completely honest here I thought they would have been really tedious. However, I found them really fun and a great way to express the digital and storytelling aspects of this class. Each daily create was posted to twitter but here are the pictures from this week. Daily Create 1… Read more →

The Gif I created is from one of my all time favorite movies The Waterboy. For those who have not seen this movie, it stars Adam Sandler as a middle aged water boy, named Bobby Boucher, who is socially awkward. After being fired from a top college football program, he finds another job with a different […]

If I had read this article a couple of years earlier, I would have come away very discouraged. I would have felt like I was lagging behind younger generations and computer science majors or that I wasn’t as capable or... Continue Reading →

Hello to you all! Hope you’re enjoy the weekend despite the killer heat. ): While I normally am not the type of person who listens to podcasts or talk radio (which is the total opposite of my grandparents who enjoy... Continue Reading →

If I were to choose a book to protect me during a protest I would choose Diary of a Wimpy Kid. I would use it to protest bullying. In addition to its message it usually comes in hardcover so hopefully it’d make a good shield at a bigger size!

I really enjoyed with what Michael Wesch said in his presentation. When he was talking about how many students are usually not interested in the lectures or seem like they don’t want to learn, I must admit I have sometimes felt like that in class. His presentation has put me to ease knowing that there […]

Whats the ‘LoDown’ of DS106? I really enjoyed Scott Lockman’s podcast. I found it to be very informative about the direction of the ds106 course. He has a great energy about it. I can tell that he is passionate about the work he is doing for this course. One tip I found useful was the tip about including students in… Read more →

Part of this weeks lesson was to make a Gif. At first this was extremely intimidating. I have never made a GIF. Since the assignment was to make a GIF from your favorite movie, I chose a clip from Harry Potter and the Socercer’s stone. I chose this because it is such a pivital part of the series. Harry’s wand… Read more →

Well this week was a tad more involved than last week. I completed my daily creates each day, and found them increasingly fun, especially the GIF one, as I had never made a gif before. I also created a digital story for the “other side of…”, it was rudimentary at best, but still a good […]

I admit I am a novice in most things computer oriented, but that didn’t stop me from being thoroughly engrossed and entertained by Michael Wesch’s presentation. When he began to talk about how most teachers have lost their students, and how most students are detached from the learning process, it made me feel good. Good […]

As I read Campbell’s article entitled “A Personal Cyberinfrastructure”, I felt like I was part of a desired end result that he envisioned some time ago to further join education and technology. I had previously taken online classes with another university, however, the experience wasn’t the same. There was a single interface, and the communication […]

Above is the book bloc shield I created for today’s daily create. I chose Fighting for my rights as the title because as this would be shown to the police, guards or other citizens, I would want that to stick out to them as to the main reason I am at the demonstration. I added […]

https://ashleighengels.wordpress.com/2014/09/01/the-other-side-of-labor-day-%f0%9f%98/ This week in ds106, I started off the week by completing 2 daily creates, yes for the same day. I did the daily create that was tweeted Monday morning, about creating a video on “The other side of…” For the video daily create, I decided to make mine up of pictures, reality and still […]

This daily create is a book cover protesting what is going in the chambers of congress. In my scenario they aren’t being truthful with the american public.

It’s pretty interesting on how Campbell starts out by explaining how people used to have trouble using the internet. It is really remarkable on how back then, the internet was so foreign to almost everybody and comparing it to today, where literally everyone can use it. The fact that in today’s age where the internet […]

After reading the Gardner Campbell’s article, and watching the presentation he gave at the Open Education conference 2009, he starts off the article by saying that sometimes to make progress that we must go back to previous ideas, that were “unrecognized and underexplored at the time, and bringing those ideas back into play in a […]

Michael Wesch says that students learn differently today so he has created a new approach to teaching. He has students do many different projects that involve team building, exponential learning and utilize forms of media. The students tend to enjoy doing the projects and learn about anthropology at the same time. Wesch’s educational experience is […]

After listening to Scott Lockman’s podcast, I found that he is very informative and forward about his views of the DS106 course. My initial judgements are that he seems to be a very great person to interact with and that he wants to help the students in DS106 to succeed. He has a really good […]

I like how Campbell starts out by explaining how people used to struggle to use the internet. It is funny to even think that something that pretty much everybody and their mother knows how to use today was something that was so foreign to so many people not that long ago. Having a basic understanding […]

This gif I created is from one of my all time favorite movies, Training Day, and stars Denzel Washington and Ethan Hawke. Now, for those who have not seen this movie, it takes place in a city where streets are overrun by drug dealers, and those who have sworn to uphold the law are breaking […]

First and foremost it is worth noting that Scott Lo has that perfect radio voice. He definitely is easy to listen to. It was nice to see that he was a little bit lost like I was coming into this class so it was cool to be able to relate to him. He just has […]

  This is a gif that I made from the popular cartoon network show the Regular Show. This happens to be from the show’s first episode: The Power. This show stars a raccoon named Rigby and a Blue Jay named Mordecai who end up getting into trouble which somehow turns into a trippy sequence. My […]

I found Scott Lockman’s podcast to be very informative about the direction of the ds106 course. He seems like a real down to earth person who is willing to help students any way possible. His idea about getting students involved … Continue reading →

With the first radio podcast, Scott Lockman was giving the introduction to the podcast and what it is about. He also explained what he intended the podcast to be and how he is going to use it to help the students in the ds106 course. He talks about how he will have people come on […]

In my version of Calvin Ball you combine the sports of football and longboarding. It is meant to be run similar to the gauntlet, which is a typical exercise in the NFL Draft. In the draft it means a drill where the wide receivers participating run down a straight line …

Here is my daily create for the combination of sports. It is a combo of basketball and football. I call it Football Hoops. https://www.flickr.com/photos/127334630@N02/14965913378/

My game  combines elements of the following three games: Clue, Scattergories and Pictionary. This game is not for the faint of heart.  Just as in the game of Clue, you pick from the following three categories:  weapons, people, and rooms to complete a guess, but after that the game changes. Some spaces on the board […]

Michael Wesch seems to be on his way of having everything pertaining to using the web to learn, all figured out… or at least almost all figured out. He knows what really goes on in the classroom, definitely not what should. Laptops are not typically used for notes, rather than for Facebook, twitter, YouTube, etc. […]
