And am thinking we need a version of this for the theme song
ds106 ds106, oh no
Me gotta go
Aye-yi-yi-yi, I said
ds106 ds106, oh baby
Me gotta go
please somebody explain to the death you donāt need to blink every time you chew
Although I have been working in schools for the past 17 years, I have not been a student in the an educational institution since 1994. With ds106 I feel like I am constantly playing ācatch-upā. I donāt recall feeling this when I was a student. I wonder if I am just āout of practiceā or if this is how my students feel? Yikes!
Regardless, I have decided to finally start trying out the different assignments. It was easy to find my own bad picture to add helvetica text toā¦ a la Visual Assignment 65. I altered the photo in iPhoto and added the text in Pages. Itās nothing tricky but itās an effect that Iād like to use for other purposes.
This might be a fun assignment for kids at school as a response to reading ā either fiction or non-fiction. I think that this could work at almost any grade level. Even our grade 1 students can import photos into a template and add textā¦

Iāve seen some really awesome gifs made by people in our class and by strangers and so I figured it was time for me to try it. I made this from three photos I took of my friend Meghanās cat who is super cute but extremely hard to take a photo of!
My try at a minimalist movie poster. All1 sorts of people have already done it. Although most donāt seem to be tagging with visualassignments572 it so that it aggregates under the assignment on the ds106 site. Thatās going to make it harder for Jim to count every assignment by hand when he does the big data infographic design fest at the end of the course.
I had a number of ideas. Most of them centered around putting the tux bow tie around things like the Walther PPK. I did that and didnāt like it. Things looked too cheesy.
To get the tux look, I started with a still from a Bond film and then ended up using the Polygonal Lasso Tool to trace the outlines. In the end I made the lines more angular and iconic. I added in some of the defining lines (to help define the bow tie and to illustrate the shirt split).

2 DS106 Complaint: Make these tags shorter and non-plural. Now pretend I called into the radio show to say that.
This design pick was the one where you use a couple photos to create a something like a comic. Hereās my attempt.
I usedĀ picturesĀ of my two dogs chasing each other for a tennis ball.First Mina, the lighter dog, has the ball and Caitey, the darker ball, decides to chasing her, then after chasing into the woods for a second Caitey came charging out in front with the ball.
