    Splash The Color

    by
    I took this picture while I was watching the U.S. and Germany game on television. As you might have imagined, I was preoccupied by the fact the Germany had just scored. You could tell by the red color I used, I wanted to support my country. This is a picture of my foyer; the door is […]

    Reflection on Gardner Campbell: Personal CyberInfrastructure

    by
    During the Open Education Conference in 2009, Gardner Campbell, of Baylor University, gave a presentation about the importance of students creating their own personal CyberInfrastructure. However, I don’t want to start with the presentation now, I want to dig deep into his article. I think he makes a valid point in that students presently “want to know […]

    It was Really an Enchanted Rose

    by
    I chose this assignment, Putting Disney into Focus, because I love Disney! Who doesn’t?! I chose the Rose from Beauty and the Beast because Beauty and the Beast is my favorite Disney movie and I believe that the Rose is used as a symbol of love, growth, and change (As a Romantic, I value these very highly, haha). As the […]

Twilight synopsis from Google for those that don’t know what the book is about.   Thunder at Twilight synopsis for those that don’t know what this book is about.   I chose […]

    Personal CyberInfrastucture

    by
    Gardener Campbell talk resonated with me in terms of dreaming and reiterated the importance of dreaming. Proposing personal Cyber-infrastructure for students use appears to be in step, and in the same direction of what technology is also proposing.  The three recursive practices are done everyday (seemingly all day by some) on and in social media […]

    When my cat smokes my cigs…

    by
    So for this visual assignment I had to create an image using the results from a Google search where it automatically suggested some options. I started my search with “I hate it when…” and then added “my cat.” I’m not much of a cat person so I think that’s probably how I ended up choosing […]

    DS 106 Zone Low Down 001

    by
    My journey to this podcast has been challenging to say the lease. I have looked everywhere searching high and low to find audio and videos were on the page initially sent. I can say I found it before it is due. I was impressed to hear the podcast and someone who is enthused about helping […]

    Red, White, and Blue (and dog)

    by
    For my first visual assignment, I chose “splash that color.” I was brainstorming ideas when I realized the 4th of July is only a little over a week away, and what better way to use that theme for my assignment than a picture with man’s best friend? My family has a beautiful, crazy 2-year-old lab […]

    I think I am finally starting to get the hang of this! We will see how long that lasts.  The first couple of days were VERY confusing, but I think I managed to work most of it out.  Hopefully now that I have a basic idea of how this works, things will get a little […]

    …one prickly man stands above the rest. For my first visual assignment, I decided to try my hand at illustrating an odd Google autocomplete. The assignment that I chose from the Visual options was this one. I picked this particular assignment because, to be perfectly...

    Today’s heat is tommorow’s fantasy

    by
    Today was not what we would consider a miserable day in terms of our VA summer time weather, but it was humid enough to break a sweat. I had some issues with my motorcycle today and had to work on it where I was. I was tinkering around with it yesterday and advanced the idling […]

    Sid’s last day.

    by
    Like any dog, Sid spends a majority of the day waiting for the children to come home. After a near death experience not 24 hours before, he has no idea that this will be his last day. With a long, relaxing morning under the sun behind him, Sid’s ears perk as the bus screeches to […]

    This class…

    by
    So far, so confusing! The theme seems to be that as I get excited that I am doing something right, I get an email to the class explaining how what I just did was incorrect. That or my posts/tweets just aren’t showing up. But it’s only day #2, so fingers crossed that it starts getting […]

    “Ds106zone LoDown 001″ is a 8 minute audio-clip in which Scott Lockman a.k.a Scottlo introduces his course layout for ds106. With the help of Jim Groom, Scott Lockman wanted his students to create a radio play. However, given that the course is only five weeks long, it would have been difficult to have the students ready by week three.
