10 Second Song Mashup – 3 Stars For my final mashup assignment, I chose to create a mashup of 5 songs which all lasted between 2-3 seconds. I chose this assignment because music is a huge part of my life. I am one of those people that music motivates, not only to get things done […]

Today we had to write about what the thinker was thinking, and it seemed to be headed in a Batman direction so I just rolled with that. After the crippling defeat at the hands of Batman, the Thinker had to be quick with his plan, not too quick of course. He sat and thought it […]

Where Should Alan Go On Vacation? …Not anywhere with popcorn, that is for certain! When I think of popcorn, I think of a delicious snack, especially one of which is extremely tasty during a movie. Well, my thoughts of popcorn right now have gone completely downhill. Mozilla Popcorn Maker is one of the worst tools […]

This was the required assignment this week. I think it had a really funny background but to actually do it was impossible. I was a little too time cramped this week to do it during the week. Plus I also saw how hellish it was for other people to complete. Instead of putting myself through that agony I chose to… Read more →

These past two have definitely been a new and challenging experience. As with a lot of  computer related mediums I am a novice to video so I really had to learn from the ground up. I have used Windows Movie Maker in the past for a couple projects and assignments but that was using simple […]

Oh my goodness, not only were these past two weeks stressful in DS106 world, but I had a super important, need-a-good-grade-on-this-to-pass, project/test/presentation/etc. in every single one my classes. Yes, that required bold & italics. I’m so happy these weeks are… Continue Reading →

These past two weeks have been based around video assignments. We had a wide array of video assignments to accomplish over the past two weeks. Along with this we also had a group of daily creates to accomplish this week.... Continue Reading →

 The daily creates this week have been fairly simple. I tried to do some of the video ones but I found it overwhelming to do with all of the other assignments and my other work. My favorite daily create this week was the mouse one. I did not understand the background behind it but it was so cute it made… Read more →

I only completed 4/6 of the Daily Creates since I was too flustered with all the other video assignments. Here they are: Daily Create for 11/11: I designed a flag for my country if I had one. Read more on… Continue Reading →

I’ll start off by saying that this was a very challenging assignment. I knew I could probably try and go with a webcam style conversation but I liked the idea of doing the split screen. The problem was I had literally no idea where to start.

The last video assignment I have completed for the week is Have A Conversation With Yourself! The goal of this assignment is to make a video where it appears you are having a conversation with yourself. To do this assignment, I need... Continue Reading →

Whew what a two weeks these have been. Despite the seemingly small workload, these video assignments were a lot more difficult and annoying than I thought. But at the same time, I had fun with some actually and it was a great learning experience as usual with each passing week in this class. Overall, these […]

For another one of my video assignments I decided to do a video montage of my memories. The original assignment was to do a video montage of your high school memories but I decided to go beyond that and include some of my college memories as well. I loved this assignment because it made me realize how far I’ve come… Read more →

Original Assignment (5 Stars) Out of every single assignment I had to do for this class, this annoyed, pissed, and irritated me the most because of how much I had to do just for this assignment. I am so glad I got this over with because editing the clips I recorded on iMovie was an […]

For the last two weeks there was not a ton of work we had five video assignments and six daily creates. It was a lot of difficult work since the video assignments are what I struggle with the most. Safe to say this was not going to be my best week. I did my six […]

So this weeks mandatory assignment was to film a conversation with myself (5 stars). And it was a lot more difficult than I thought it would be. I wasn’t sure what I wanted to talk about, so I figured I’d just… Continue Reading →
