ds106radio bumper
So far, 0 people have completed this assignment and it has 0 views.
I recently joined ds106 as an open participant, whilst conducting a very small scale micro-ethnographic study of ds106 as part of the Education and Digital Cultures (EDC) course (#mscedc). I have been following along with week five of UMW Spring 2020 and was inspired while listening to ds106radio this week, and hearing everyone’s radio bumpers, to try my hand at the assignment. It’s my first go at making a radio bumper, and I used Logic and its built-in software instruments, together with the default text-to-speech voice on my Mac (“Daniel”). Despite its very short length, I found it quite difficult to produce something with the right ...
Tuning in to get Turnt

This is my response to the Create a Radio Bumper assignment. I had to create a short radio bumper for the Ds106 radio station. When I hear the term “bumper,” the first thing I think of is cars, so it only made sense to base the bumper around that. I started with a car crash sound sample. I recorded my voice and the bass with Reaper. The drum samples were made with MT Power Drum Kit, a MIDI instrument that simulates an acoustic drum set.

Audio Assignment: DS106 Radio Bumper So this Assignment was really cool. We got to create promo Bumbers for DS106 Radio. I really enjoyed this assignment. I instantly knew what music I wanted. Things They Do, By The Roots.This was a song from my childhood that inspired me to start writing music and prose myself. A decision that has brought me many great things in my life. The idea of DS106 made me want to go inspirational, considering that’s what the class is all about. I figured whats more inspirational than Dr. Martin Luther King‘s, I Have A Dream speech. Though ...
Radio Bumper

So this bumper was pretty easy to create. I mashed up myself saying “ds106 radio”, “Clubbed to Death” by Rob Dougan, and some crazy radio static, just not exactly in that order. The beauty of audacity is that you can layer these things and play with your own recordings. I played with some effects on [...]
Ira Glass: an expert storyteller
So far, 0 people have completed this assignment and it has 0 views.
Ira Glass has three things you need to be likeable on radio: firstly, a soft, intimate voice that makes you feel like he’s talking directly to you across your kitchen table; secondly, the humility to discuss his own work as something not innately brilliant, but as the culmination of many years of hard graft; and thirdly, a brilliant ear for wonderful, personal stories that make for compelling listening. This American Life, which I’d never listened to before this week, is a kind of Reader’s Digest on the radio – that is, a sweetshop of tasty morsels, none of which you’d never ...
20 Questions & Answers About DS106

I have just completed the “Audio Assignments” section of my free online Digital Storytelling DS106 course and I have learned two very important facts. Having struggled through the creation of a 14 minute radio interview, I now have the utmost respect for the technical wizards who work “behind the scenes” to craft a radio show. Secondly, I have a new-found appreciation for the power and possibilities that Audacity, the free Macintosh, Linux and Windows audio editor and recording application, has to engage students in K-12 classrooms. With its wealth of online resources and support, Audacity should be a standard classroom ...
Sound Off

Remember when I said I was happy to be done with design assignments? I’m about ready to say the same with audio assignments. Too bad I am not even close to being done. Melodie, Lindsay and I are away from school for break which has been making the twenty minute radio show just a bit difficult to coordinate. Things are coming together steadily though. Mel produced an awesome bumper for our show, our commercial isn’t awful and the main segments are in the works. I have been using Audacity but still don’t have the hang of it completely. Our radio ...

RadiobumperDS106 by annie_belle1 This is my first-ever shot at making a radio bumper. I got the inspiration from this assignment posted by Jim Groom. I did some research, but I’m not 100% sure I understand what a radio bumper is. I’m not sure if it’s supposed to be a sound effect or a mash-up of [...]

Though I’ve been something of a stranger in the DS106iverse this time around so far, I have been thinking about the brilliant evolution of the course design – which Jim tells me is (at least part of) the genius of Martha Burtis. Specifically, I think the Assignment Repository is a glimpse of open classroom learning that simply establishes a framework for student/participant-choice and teacher/peer-facilitation that (much like the ds106.us site architecture and aggregation that I’ve written and spoke about before) I am eager to incorporate in my own classroom(s). Which is where this post finds me, sharing not only my ...
“Love Analytics” is the New “Bags of Gold”

@cogdog, @jimgroom, @mburtis, @gardnercampbell, and maybe some other folks? – it was hard to tell – were broadcasting live from ELI 2011, and while the hotel WiFi was sketchy, some truth bombs were dropped, including the expression “love analytics” from Gardner Campbell. I immediately thought of a self-help book, and so crafted this fictional book cover in that style: Thanks CogDog – I can’t wait for the audio. Update: No audio forthcoming, but thanks CogDog for the original broadcast.
