It’s true, I thought when I was creating a theme for my blog for this class, I thought I would be known as that girl who wishes she was a princess (which is still completely accurate). However, I am really glad to see that there are so many other Disney loving people in the class, (continue reading...)

What Is Remix? Remixing a DS106 Assignment Mashup Assignments In my opinion this was a perfect finish to the class, minus the final project.  It was a little more creative and pretty much used everything we had done up to this point and combined it.  I guess for the mashup and remix assignments I ended ...

ASSIGNMENT CREATIONS Throughout my time with DS106 I have created 2 assignments for future DS106ers.  One is a visual assignment and the other is a mixup/mashup assignment.  I complete one of the two and I plan to do the other at some point (when I have time) in the future. …

While Mozilla Popcorn wins the prize for worst/hardest assignment ever in DS106 history, this project ranks pretty high on the challenging list of assignments. We had to remix a picture (or remix someone else’s remix) of Cory Doctorow. He is … Continue reading →

Not going to lie, I’m not sure why I decided to tweet that. But it just seemed appropriate. I guess it’s because that’s how I felt when originally working on my radio show with my group and meeting for the first time in person. The group was using twitter in order to find out where (continue reading...)

The title of this post really just scratches the surface of my feelings and emotions to the program, Mozilla Popcorn. We were given an assignment to Help Alan go on a Vacation. He created the video and left spaces between … Continue reading →

Probably the best way to describe me is wild. I’m not talking girls gone wild or something like that (especially since my parents and professors are the the only people who read this), but it is certainly me. I have a very unique personality to me and I can pull all nighters without any caffeine (continue reading...)

Yes I just had this realization, and it probably has been way too late for this, but I guess I could call this my princess diary. I mean I am a princess, and I am writing. It’s just a very public diary that I tweet about a lot, typical diary stuff. So where did this (continue reading...)

This assignment involves picking two movies, and changing their meaning around by switching up the audio with the a totally different video for whatever reason. Here’s what I decided to do: I went through different Youtube trailers to find just the right two videos. I settled on Insidious and The Ring. The Ring being absolutely ...

This is my how to guide! On today’s listing for how to’s, we’re gonna learn how to do the Actor Transformation assignment! Find someone you want to do your assignment on. The example showed Lizzie McGuire. For today’s intents and purposes, I’m going to use Dakota Fanning! Use Youtube like crazy to find clips and clips ...

Apart of this week’s work was to also finish out our contributions to the class and really make our marks! An essential way that we had to do this was through creating assignments for future classes, which was way more exciting than I thought it would be! Actually, my first assignment was made awhile ago ...

Remix wouldn’t be quite remix unless we had to do some craaazy stuff involving the assignment bank and that pretty little remix button that has been sitting there all semester. One of our assignments this week was to press and press that button until we found an assignment that we liked, and actually do it. ...

Apart of this week’s work was to make use of the recycled media that we submitted in week 9 named Recycle the Media! It seemed pretty cut and dry: take some old media, mash it up..However, if anything was that simple in DS106, then it wouldn’t be that much fun, now would it? Nahh. So ...

What it do? Remixin’! Mash up, mix up, remix, re-doin it all up. That’s what these past two weeks have been all about! These weeks have been quite the whirlwind, but like every week, they brought something new and fun to learn! In order to get my toes wet, I started off these assignments with ...

This is my submission for the “Post-Photographic Portrait” assignment. This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported License. Doctorow’s books are a mix of science fiction, fantasy and ethical dilemmas. Using one of the photos from the fortheremix site ,  some simple text, and a brush for Photoshop I made a clean ...

For this assignment our professor decided that he was tried and needed a vacation to celebrate the end of the semester (how is it already the end of the semester?).  For this assignment we had to use Mozilla Popcorn Maker.  … Continue reading →

The remix generator created the Troll Quotes: Yo’ Mama assignment. The moment I saw this one, I knew I had to do it. I had an idea in my mind, and I had hoped someone had done something similar to it in the submitted examples, but sadly no. What I immediately thought of was to ...

My next assignment this week was to recycle some old media from DS106. We had to use five different pieces of media and two different kinds (image, audio, or video). I chose six photos and two sound clips. I didn’t want to include text, so I hope the story comes across anyways. I used pictures ...

This week, I had to remix a video using Mozilla Popcorn Maker. This is the video I was working with. This was not my favorite assignment… I hated the interface for the editor. There are no clear directions on how to use it at all. The drag and place function stinks because it just doesn’t ...

Re-  To do over again Mix- To combine ingredients Okay, so that’s not Webster or anything, it’s just a general description of the two words. URBAN Dictionary defines remix as: 1. remix A song which is a modified or new version of an original.I prefer the old song to the new remix. 2. remix Shit ...

For this assignment, I made a remix inside of a remix.  We were supposed to make a movie where someone was watching a movie so I had Hitler from Inglorious Basterds watching Django.  But, Django was watching something he wasn’t ...

So for one of this weeks assignments, we had to remix a photo from a designated list and make a story for it.  I had a good time doing it and did all my work in Gimp.  I originally made ...

To finish my 6 stars of mashup assignments, I completed the assignment, What Color is Your World? The point was to choose a colour to photograph throughout the day. I chose green, because it’s literally EVERYWHERE I turn. Instead of ...

To complete the 6 stars worth of mashup assignments from the ds106 assignment bank, I started with an assignment called Movie Trailer Mashup, worth 4 stars.  I saw someone do this when my ds106 adventure first started, so I’m glad I ...

Everyone in DS106 is not a technical pro when it comes to different assignment types, and sometimes we just need a helping hand to get us on track. This is why I’ve created 2 tutorials this semester. How to Color … Continue reading →

Here’s a bit of a Garageband tutorial for the “A Capella With Yourself” audio assignment (if you’re still interested in audio that is!) Step 1: Write a song, OR pick a song that you like. Tip: When you’re picking your … Continue reading →

Time to take off the Barber Shop Quartet outfits and slap on some leather boots and a 10 gallon hat! For this assignment, I decided to go back to the previous audio assignment I’d created called “A Capella With Yourself”, … Continue reading →

Weeks after the Fandom Prince had presented the Fandom Princess with the Golden Eggs, they finally began to move. The Princess squealed in happiness as she sent for the Prince to come to her chambers on the morning that she heard the rustling of the eggs. “William, look!” She said, … Continue reading →

To begin the two weeks of remixing and mashing, we had to review two references and three examples of what a remix is.  I wanted a clearer understanding of what a remix was, and I wanted to know if other ...

As they approached the fourth floor, Bryson took the Fandom Princess and Harold down past the various classrooms and students all the way to the end of the corridor. There, he approached a large statue of a huge frog. “Should try going in there,” he said quietly. The Princess raised … Continue reading →
