This week in ds106 I am asking my students to do a 5 minute overview of a technique or trick they learned in video editing by showing one of their video projects. I’m getting a lot out of it myself as the students teach and give each other feedback in class. Tonight’s demos included: Kierra’s […]
Continuing on a theme of tough cop genre, I made a movie mashup of Steve McQueen’s Bullitt mellowed out with the mellow sounds of Simon and Garfunkel’s 59th Street Bridge Song: Slow down, you move too fast. You got to make the morning last. Just kicking down the cobble stones. Looking for fun and feelin’ […]

Dead drops are in many ways akin to the Piratebox, publicly placed peer to peer file sharing approaches using […]
cc licensed ( BY ) flickr photo shared by alexkerhead I’m toying with a new idea for a public interaction device with the StoryBox/Piratebox but the DIY part is something I could use suggestions on. The idea is to have a device out in a public space, that is within range of the wireless network […]

Check it out, after 7 hours, the DS106: The Open Online Community of Digital Storytellers Kickstarter campaign, launched around […]
When I was a kid I got no respect. When my parents got divorced there was a custody fight over me… and no one showed up. MOOCs are on fire. They are a tool for democratizing education. They are crumbling the Higher Education Monopoly. And you know what hear? Stanford. Udacity. MIT. Massive. Numbers. And […]
My wild ride of teaching ds106 has been a bit like riding a crazy horse on speed. We are in the intense part of the course where students are working in video, and while they talk about how hard/challenging it is, I am seeing in many of them that fiery drive to create.
In already two weeks, I am seeing work I am proud of from people who had never edited video before, and are doing so with little or no formal training. They are just doing it.
We are collecting many of these in a delicious stack (yeah, that sky has not fallen yet), but wanted to highlight some right here. Please send some comment juju their way.
