During the third week of DS106 I wrote about what I thought Story telling and Digitial Story tellign were.  Having finished the class I know a lot more about what digital story telling is.  While I was right talk mention technology as what creates it there is much more involved. …

Hello, My name is Rapunzel!  all of my life I have lived in a tower with  my mother.  I have a window to look outside, but I have never actually been outside these stone walls.  Luckily I was able to make friends with a chameleon who I named Pascal.  I …

After I finished my project and all my blog post about them I looked back I what I created. I am pretty proud of the pinterest account I made for Rapunzel’s adventure.  I put a lot of thought and effort into what I wanted to include on her web list. …

These were the most time consuming part of my final project.  I made audio journals of Rapunzel’s plan and how things worked out.  I recorded my voice as Rapunzel in audacity and then got audio clips off youtube.com from the movie Tangled itself.  At specific points I mashed the two …

Nine and a half years ago I was adopted by an adorable, loving yet sometimes aloof puppy, Harper, Mr. Friendly, Harper-Harper-Bo-Barper, my Handsome Boy.  Yesterday he died.  With him, a piece of my heart and soul feel like they died too. When I walked into the home of the family that had been fostering Harper, ...

I worked on this image to really bring home the empty feeling, the loss, the pain, and the emptiness felt throughout the story. This probably one of my favorite images.  There is something ethereal about it, simple, clean, and supremely sad. ———————— Complete Final project:  Enough is Never Enough

I did a twist on  song and typography assignments, I twisted them into a little video. I illustrated a portion of a song that brought more life to the story I told. ——————————- Complete Final project:  Enough is Never Enough

I wanted to do something with audio because I REALLY enjoyed (most) of this section.  Plus who doesn’t like a simple sound story? I know I do.   I think this is totally effective in describing meeting the new pup for the first time, and the joy they shared! ———————– Sounds from Freesound Rain: http://www.freesound.org/people/gurkboll/sounds/71118/ ...

Because I was using a dog story, I used a local animal rescue site as part of the story. I hacked the site to reflect the dog in the story.   here is a screen shot: And..here is the link to see it yourself. This was the perfect tool to use, as it added to ...

I produced the digital “flyer” to give an idea to the reader of the process involved in adopting Harper.  It is a simplified version of a newsletter page listing available dogs for adoption.     Complete Final project:  Enough is Never Enough

The news of Abraham Lincoln had to spread quickly. In the world we live in today, news is instantly broken via social networking sites such as Twitter, Reddit, and Facebook. I wanted to show examples of news breaking via social networking sites, but thought Twitter was too conventional, so I used reddit instead. For this ...

For the next portion of my final project I completed the “storytelling within the web” assignment. I thought it would be pretty comical if President Abraham Lincoln posted a Craigslist ad for help on how to work modern technologies, so I went for it. The process was pretty simple. First, I set up the craigslist ...

I could not find any existing assignment in the visual assignments repository that matched this piece of the story. As my story goes, Abe Lincoln is time warped from his chair in 1865 to Times Square in 2013. I wanted to create an image to capture this. My method was fairly simple. I used Google ...

The radio show I reviewed was fairly well done.  I thought about different elements as I listened to what they came up with. I noticed that the sound quality was a little off at times because of background noise.  A few times the background was distracting and took away form …

Good evening ladies and gentlemen and welcome to the annual End of Ds106 Ceremony! I’m your host Amber E. May and I am happy to kick off this celebration! There’s a very large crowd of cheering fans and members of … Continue reading →

In a world where magical ponies roam free over the land and soar through the blue, cloudless skies, one speedy pegasus strives to be better than the rest. This is a story of blood, sweat, tears, ambition, and a mare’s … Continue reading →

As a web assignment I created a pinterest for Rapunzel.  On it she has all the things she will need for her journey to the floating lights.  I put on practical things, such as flashlight, tent, sleeping bag, and food.  I also put somethings that Rapunzel likes, such as Pascal, …

This was an assignment I chose on my own.  It is not one from the ds106 assignment bank.  For the visual/design I chose to make a map for Rapunzel to have and follow on her journey to the floating lights.  There is the starting point, rest area, and lights. To …

WHOAH! I can’t believe my final story is up and running {like I will be right after I post this :)}. I worked so hard on this project all week. I wanted to post all of the stories’ components at once,...

Hey everyone! My name is Sabrina Spellman. I’m just your normal everyday teenager. Except for the fact that I found out I’m a witch on my sixteenth birthday. But no one knows, not even my best friend Valerie. Yeah. My...

For the fourth piece of the story, I chose to do the Say it Like Peanut Butter {***} visual assignment. For this assignment, you had to take a clip from a movie or show and turn it into an animated GIF....

For my first assignment for this final project, I chose to do Storytelling within the Web {*****}. I wanted to introduce my character to people who have not seen the show, Sabrina the Teenage Witch. I thought of different ways of...

For my third assignment for this final project, I chose to do Storytelling within the Web {*****} again. The reason I chose to do this assignment again was because I wanted to show how Sabrina reacted to Libby’s attempt to blackmail...

For my last assignment of this final story was the Where Are They Now? {**} video assignment. I wanted to show everyone where the characters of this final story ended up. What changed, who changed, who stayed the same?? You’ll learn...

SAY WHAT!? This is the last blog post for DS 106??! How can this be????? For this class, we had to create assignments for future students to do. I had a lot of fun creating and coming up with my...

I can’t believe I’m at the point in DS106 where I am giving advise for all future ds106ers! I remember back to my first week in the course and watching/reading advise from DS106 alums! So crazy!! This semester has flown, … Continue reading →

Bare with me, but when we first started the class I wasn’t exactly posting correctly so this reflection on week 3 link is the entire week 3 summary, my b.  Either way, after reading over my previous description I still pretty much agree with it, except that my thinking then never imagined combining several different ...

This is Ron Burgundy, the lead anchor of News Team 4.  Ron has always been what people call a “ladies man,” but he has also always been somewhat lacking in intelligence.  Excellent at wooing women, viewers, and especially women viewers, Ron … Continue reading →

As part of Ron’s women’s studies class, he was required to visit and explore a web site to learn more information during the first week.  I used the Hackasaurus x-ray goggles  to edit the Jezebel web site.  I was unfortunately not … Continue reading →
