Visual Assignment 1892: Can You See What I See
So far, 0 people have completed this assignment and it has 0 views.
For this week, we have been instructed to complete an assignment from the DS 106 Visual Assignment Bank. I chose to do Visual Assignment 1892: Do You See What I See. The instructions are: “Find or take a photo of an eye. Take another image of whatever you want, and overlay the image onto the eye. Make the image in the eye smaller so that it looks like a reflection in the person’s eye. Turning down the opacity of the image in the eye helps give a relection [sic] sort of look. Let us see what the person in the photo ...
Week 4 Reflections
So far, 0 people have completed this assignment and it has 0 views.
Before my reflection, I’d like to share the two videos I created for my Mobile Learning class because I feel like I’m slowly, but surely, becoming a novice video editor! The first video is called the History of Buffalo Wings. I created it with GoAnimate as well as my personal Ipevo Ziggi HD Plus document camera. GoAnimate is a tool that I know I didn’t even scratch the surface of. There are so many options and tools within the site. I just wish I had more time! The second video had no guidelines other than it had to “Go Viral,” ...
Digital Reflection of Myself
So far, 0 people have completed this assignment and it has 0 views.
This assignment of making a digital reflection of yourself was actually quite easy in my opinion. It was kind of easy because on my Xbox Live account I had already created a virtual/digital version of myself. The only thing that I had to figure out was how to get it from the screen to a picture that I can place as a jpg. Then I thought that I can go to Xbox.com and sign into my account to find the picture. When I found the picture, I took a screenshot of my screen using the Mac app “Snip” which allows ...
REMIX VS MASHUPS
So far, 0 people have completed this assignment and it has 0 views.
This is my remix vs mashups reflection, which took me like a million tries! I kept stuttering over and over again. But I got it done and hope you enjoy it and get what I am trying to say. If you listen you will clearly understand the differences between the two. Well the person that I talked to about it did, so I’m sure you will too! I used my own integrated mic to record this audio and uploaded it to soundcloud to embed it here onto my blog. Sometimes soundcloud works perfectly and then sometimes it takes FOREVER. Any ...
What is Remix?
So far, 0 people have completed this assignment and it has 0 views.
Instead of writing up an explanation of what you learned, instead formulate your own understanding about remix and mashup, and record a video or audio of you explaining it to someone who is not familiar; this could ba a family member, friend, neighbor, random stranger. The point is to capture a recording of your explanation and make sure we hear the other person, perhaps asking a question. If you show them any examples, do it before you record (we do not need to hear them again).Write up a blog post that includes this recording and anything else you want to ...
How to Read a Movie
So far, 0 people have completed this assignment and it has 0 views.
I have done something like this before in an AP Literature and Composition course in high school. We would take movies and go through them looking for context clues and different signs that underlay the plot such as shadows, words, different view points, or lighting. The one I most vividly remember reflecting on was when there’s a scene shot through a window or different room and how when it was shot through the window the character didn’t know something was happening. When the scene was shot normally the character was in the loop about what was being discussed. After learning these techniques ...
“Knowledge is of no value, unless you put it into practice”
So far, 0 people have completed this assignment and it has 0 views.
This week we learned a lot! It was a lot of new information and trial and error. I’ve never used Audacity so that whole process was very new to me. I still do not know how to save a YouTube video from YouTube, but I worked my way around it. I learned that Professor Polack usually gives us the tools we need and that I need to read the instructions better. I learned that SoundCloud does not take Audacity files and you need to convert to an MP3 before you can upload it. I used several new programs this week including Audacity, ...
DS106 Tasks: You Snooze – You Lose!
So far, 0 people have completed this assignment and it has 0 views.
I’m having fun learning how to create animated GIFs with frames extracted from digital video. In fact, with practice, and the support and feedback of my DS106 learning community, I think I am getting better! I created this animated GIF and then chose my title. The message combination resonates with me on two levels: the primary one which I’ll address now and the more subtle, subliminal suggestion (which I hope you can figure out), I’ll share at the end of this post. DS106 Task Tips This post’s title warning “You Snooze – You Lose!”, with its animated GIF, is a ...
‘DS106: Thanks for the Memories’ Video
So far, 0 people have completed this assignment and it has 0 views.
My first DS106 video assignment is a “Digital Story Compilation” in which I was challenged to “Create a video compilation of some of your favorite things you’ve made in ds106″. I titled it “DS106: Thanks for the Memories” because while I was creating this video, I was totally engaged in the process of documenting my new-found experiences in my DS106 learning journey. I must admit though I was so envious of some of my colleagues who assembled a 3-5 minute video of their creative images, added a soundtrack, uploaded it to YouTube, and quickly moved on to their next ...
Life-Long-Learners: My Minimalist Philososphy
So far, 0 people have completed this assignment and it has 0 views.
I find that as I write posts for my blog I am often caught deciding for whom the post is intended. Some posts are designed exclusively for my audience of K-12 educators. More recently, I have been creating a wide range of posts to demonstrate my progress through the Digital Storytelling (DS106) course. However, in some cases I try to share a “hybrid” post where it satisfies not only a requirement of a DS106 assignment but also has some ideas or resources that my K-12 audience of educators may find beneficial. Such was the case in my recent post “Life-Long-Learning’ ...
