I was a little confused about this weeks daily creates and what to do with them.  The first was to get a picture of a lisence plate that caught your eye. Then there was the one about convincing someone that ...

This week has taken a completely different turn from the last but if you’ve been keeping up with ds106, you should know by now this is nothing new. This week involved getting involved with the web and really taking it into our own hands. One of the assignments was Story Telling Within the Web, which ...

My alter ego’s name this week was Sydney Owens.  I’ve always liked the name Sydney so I was happy to finally use it for something!  I also love Australian accents, but that’s not how I created my character.  When I ...

This assignment is called Way Back Time Machine and it gives me what it different websites looked like back in the day. This assignment is worth 2 stars. I chose target because I have been recently looking at things to buy for my new appointment next semester I wanted to know what it looked like ...

Another assignment I chose to complete is the Way Back Time Machine. The assignment called for “Using the Way Back Time Machine website on Internet Archive, take screen shots of a favorite website overtime. Then, look at how the website has changed for better and worse.” The site I chose to analyze is ESPN , and I ...

So this week’s assignment that I put off for as long as possible was the ds106 blog comment narrative. I’m not sure why I was so hesitant to do this, maybe it’s because I already have a character through this blog that the energy behind making another one was too overwhelming. So for today I (continue reading...)

My radio show that was made with Micaela and myself was okay the sound quality could have been better it was a little static driven but that’s my computers fault not mine I don’t have a microphone. But I can accept fault. The volume is a little messed up when my bumper came in it ...

So for this assignment, we had to put a random story in the middle of a webpage.  I inserted part of “The Happy Prince” by Oscar Wilde into a Wikipedia article on Kim Jong-Il.  Honestly, I don’t think there is ...

For this assignment, we had to change a webpage to alter the descriptions of a product on Amazon.  I made a very multipurpose cork.  I used hackasaurus and just changed stuff. http://p.webremixes.org/qdxtohzc Here’s the actual site as well.  

One of the web assignments I decided to do was the Google Maps Story for three stars.The basic premise of the assignment was to, “Use Google Maps to tell a story of historical or literary figure”. I did not follow the prompt exactly, and rather than tell the story of a historical or literary figure, ...

My Fifth Dimension radio broadcast team chose a Twilight Zone theme for our radio broadcast, and adopted a soundscape format. While I think we followed the soundscape format well, it was a bit confusing to our listeners as it may have seemed unorganized. Each team member created individual components of the broadcast separately, which led ...

So when I found out that I had to do Storytelling within the Web I was so excited I did not know what to do because there is a lot of different things I could go with this. I was going to make a newly made couple one on Facebook like they were married and ...

Listen Here The “Team Awesome” radio show incorporated an interesting theme into their broadcast. While a common theme of a show may be a “blast from the past” or a futuristic themed show, Team Awesome took an interesting approach by mixing both themes. I really enjoyed the back and forth between the past and the ...

For the rest of my assignments, I decided to do the Way Back Time Machine Assignment, which reminded me of my radio show so I couldn’t resist! It involves looking at a website and just seeing how its changed over the years, either for better or worse through internet archive.  It was actually hilarious to ...

We had to remix a website and mess around with the text for this assignment.  Had a lot of fun with it.  Was going to mess up the Duke athletics website but it was too hard to mess around with ...

One of the assignments for this week was to do five stars, of our choice as usual. I decided to do the Youtube It Your Way Assignment, which involves picking a favorite video (for which I choose Bath Time!) but the kick is to alter the webpage so that no one has any actual idea of ...
