    A DS106 Minecraft Tale, the Beginning

    by
    So, it’s my first full day in Minecraft and, as the blue, fuzzy rain comes down into my blocky, multi-substance home (for which I neglected to build a roof), I’d thought I’d begin a list of lessons learned on the first day. Be aware of the ecosystem you’re heading into. I dove right in to ...

    by
    Daily Create 139 Take a photo of (or something that represents) the moon. The Moon…Is Cheese     Daily Create 140 Take a picture that represents quickness or motion.

    Daily Create — Building Front Photo

    by
    So, for this Daily Create I just used a photo that I took in 2009 of the building I work in, Monroe Hall, and did a little cropping/touch up in Picasa.  I like the framing and the lighting and the slightly unusual angle.  I also like this photo because is shows just how bad the ...

I’ve got Photoshop, but I don’t know how to use it well.  So, here are my two versions, which ...

    Why I’m doing DS106

    by
    I often say that one of my goals in teaching is to push students beyond their comfort zones, that discomfort is where real learning occurs, and that I want students to become comfortable with being uncomfortable.  One of the parallels to that, however, that I’ve also made clear in the teaching presentations I’ve made to faculty is that the concept ...

    Wack a #DS106 Mole

    by
    A few days ago I noticed that Alan Levine is mashing up ds106 assignments withThe ds106 Remix Machine. This, briefly, allows you to take an assignment from DS106 and add a filter. Shades of John Davit’s Learning Event Generators. For example this remix: stop frame photography [remixed]: Uncle Bob — Remix Machine takes this original ...

    The story glove

    by
    Here’s a new take on multilinear digital storytelling: a glove which lets users feel their way through a narrative. Audio content is primary, along with the physical objects.

    A family food story

    by
    Here’s a fine story about food, memory, and family: Josef, by Brad Johnson. A fine example, too, of the classic Center for Digital Storytelling form.  Autobiographical, emotionally charged and complex, nicely written. (via the CDS Facebook site...
