For my final design assignment this week, I’ve chosen to make a Computer Book for Kids. The one I ended up making would have really helped me out when I was younger, and now I’m kind of mad that it didn’t exist before. When I was a kid, I used to get in internet fights all the time. I would get in fights even though I knew the other person would make me cry. I was on a never ending quest to always be the smartest person… on neopets. I would get into a fight with anyone whose opinion just seemed stupid ...

Design Assignment #3 Around the Christmas season we all like to bake cookies, buy presents for one another, watch Christmas movies and listen to Christmas music. But what about Christmas books (other than The Night Before Christmas)? My childhood involved my family reading Dr. Suess’s classic, How the Grinch Stole Christmas. This is why I decided to do this assignment. This project involved choosing a children’s book and giving it a computerized title. My rendition of Dr. Suess’s original title is, How the Grinch Stole GIFs. It took me awhile to come up with this title and I had a few ...

What is your favorite children’s book? My favorite children’s book is Chicka Chicka Boom Boom. I don’t really know why I like it so much – its about alphabet letters climbing a tree – but it’s definitely on the top of my list. But what if our favorite children’s books were revamped to accommodate modern technology? That is what this design assignment asked. I choose to redo the cover of Frog and Toad Are Friends by Arnold Lobel. The original cover: The new cover: How it was made: I started this revamped cover by copy and pasting the original cover ...
The Secret Virus

We have all probably had that one time where that weird ad pops up on our computer, followed by what seems like a million more. This is what is known as a virus. I can say I have had a pretty nasty virus on one of my computers before and lost just about everything on my computer. They are just one of those things that you aren’t expecting to happen unless you are an avid watcher of illegally downloaded movies or listen to illegally downloaded music, then at that point you’re kind of just asking for one. For this Design ...

I picked the character Tweety Bird because he is so adorable and when my daughter was a baby, she had Tweety Bird characters all over her room. I Thought it would be nice to name my book “Tweety – Learns How To Use A Computer to Tweet” :). It was pretty difficult, because I had to go to different programs to do certain things I wanted in the design. I went to Google to find images of Tweety Bird Books and found this image: Tweety Bird Here are a couple of images for the process below: ...

is the childrens book that I started this process with. I chose this book because of the type of assignment it was. The assignment was to create a childrens book with a computer topic. Well worms are related to computers as far as viruses go, so why not! The image that I created is what follows I started this process on Microsoft word. I had to separate the book so that I could add my new title. I have highlighted the sections I separated in the following photo. From there I added a picture of a tiny computer. ...

This assignment was to create a kids computer book from a well known kids book. I chose Are you my mother? by Dr Seuss. A new children’s book. was by far the best assignment because I enjoy reading children books and want to know all about computers.
Week 4 – Design Assignment #1 – “Save” your Thoughts, Save the World!
So far, 0 people have completed this assignment and it has 0 views.
Background I had a conversation with a friend the other day about the world of computing from our eyes and how it differs from what the current high school generation is going through. One of the thing we noted was that the universal “Save” icon is the image off a floppy disk. We recognized that we all KNEW the meaning of this image because we used 3.5″ floppy disks, once upon a time. However, I haven’t seen a floppy disk since the 2000′s (yes, the 2000′s) when USB flash disks started. Thinking about how imagery relays meeting, we also noted desktops, the ...

This particular design assignment was to, “take a well-known kids book and re-cast it as a computer book.” The book cover I chose to play with was One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish, by Dr. Suess. When making the new cover, I considered the three most commonly used tools for a DS106 student and their perfect rhyming scheme. I then used Pixlr to edit the original cover and create my own spin on it. I contemplated swapping the fish from the cover with logos for each respective tool, however I thought that would take too much away from ...
