I have recently read the article titled A Personal Cyberinfrastructure by Gardner Campbell, along with watching the video of his lecture from OpenEd 2009. The least I can say is that I am immensely impressed with the things that he has presented.... Continue Reading →

This was my internet map for my daily create that I uploaded to flickr and twitter yesterday. I like to think of all all the sites I travel on the internet in medieval times, and my home page as my fortress.

So this is my review of the ds106zone LoDown 001 page & podcast. I want to start off by saying that this guy has a great radio voice, in the most non-awkward way I can say that haha. So if... Continue Reading →

I felt a lot like Lilo this week with my adventures in DS106. I may now hold the world record for running into the most technical problems in a week. So by the time I got around to the gif… Continue Reading →

Hey guys, am I doing this right?

My Daily Create, combining banana grams and a deck of cards. What you do is flip a card and the card tells you how many letters long your word has to be. But just like in banana grams your words have to be connected.

Guys help am I doing this right??

Previously, what little digital identity I could claim was fairly reserved and private. I’ve had a Facebook for several years, and my privacy settings are tight. I have a Tumblr under an impersonal screen name, and I have never posted any personal or even original text or images on it; all I use it for […]

My home is where I spend most of my time when I am using the internet, and then if you follow the path it goes out from there.

Michael Wecsh’s presentation was very interesting and definitely got me thinking about how we are learning, and how we are failing at learning. I am currently in school to become an educator so this video was especially interesting to me. I feel like everyone is always trying to figure it out, figure out how they […]

For today’s Daily Create we were assigned to imagine what the internet would look like to us if it were a map. I imagine Google as the center of the map because it is a very large and wealthy company. I gave it size to show how it dominates the …

Above is the picture I drew as my version of an online map! The connecting places to my home are all of the places I visit on the daily. I also connected the social media sites that I feel I use together or that typically link with one another! The home is in the center […]

After reading Gardener Campbell’s article, I agree that the use of technology, more specifically student’s digit identity, has been in a standstill in recent years. Its something I hadn’t thought about. There hasn’t really been a big jump since the start of online discussion boards and other outside managed sites. In …

Internet Map Here is how I view my internet map based on what websites and applications I use on my computer.  

This is how the internet would appear for me as a map. Sorry I am not the greatest artist but I gave this one my best effort hope everyone enjoys!

Here is the map I created on how I see the Internet. #ds106polack #dailycreate #tdc970 https://www.flickr.com/photos/127334630@N02/14953659590/

While short, I think Scotts podcast accomplished its goal. I actually commend it for its brevity, because it stays to the point without adding extra unnecessary or redundant information. I also thought the podcast was well put together. The voice quality was clear and he was well spoken. He definitely had the typically …

Frozen GIF, This is my favorite movie, and I just love how Disney put a twist on things, and made it the love of a sister verses a kiss from her prince charming. I thought that creating the GIF was going to be super difficult but while I was researching I came across an article […]

Gardner starts off by writing about the idea of progress and how progress an be achieved. He writes that progress is sometimes achieved by “looping back to earlier ideas whose vitality and importance were unrecognized or underexplored at the time, and bringing those ideas back into play in a new context.” He states that in […]

Scott Lockman’s podcast, was the first time I had ever listened to a podcast, or really even understood what it was. It was really interesting to see his idea and get an idea for where he sees this podcast going in the future. Based off this first podcast I am definitely looking forward to what […]

Here’s my version of the internet in my head! I’m strangely proud of this drawing. At first, I was just going to draw myself in a little house in Facebook Street, since that’s the main site I usually spend my time on, but then I thought about it, and I do shamefully spend a lot of … Read More →

A Map of the very popular Disney movie Frozen. The map shows all the points that Ana passed through on her search for her sister Elsa. Beginning with the castle, across the Harbor to the Wandering Oakens Trading Post and Sauna. Up the North Mountain where she encounters Elsa, and to the troll garden once […]

My all time favorite movie since I was in middle school has always been Mean Girls. The movie summary is Cady Heron starts public school for the first time. She has always been home schooled, but even less in the traditional way. She grew up on the African plains. Two kids in her homeroom Janis […]

Gardner Campbell’s A Personal Cyberinfrastructure goes far beyond what an online class may be. Campbell explains progress in ways individuals don’t think of it as. He stated, “progress means looping back to earlier dieas whose vitality and importance were unrecognized or underexplored at the time, and bringing those ideas back into play in a new […]

One of my favorite stories from my childhood is the Wizard of Oz. This is a flow map of the story. It is all connected through Kansas.

Scott Lockman seemed to be giving us listeners the ins and outs of what ds106 might have in store for us this semester. By him doing these short podcasts daily, I feel as if listening to them will help me with questions or concerns I may come across while doing some of my ds106 work, […]

Scott gave us a merry introduction as he began his podcast; it is always nice to feel welcome. He gives us a pretty clear picture of audio, and puts forth a love for pod-casting and all things audio. If I were to have any confusion about the topic, going to him for advice or pointers […]

You have gotten comments and will get more from your instructor, but it’s important as a community to comment on your … Continue reading →
