About 2 weeks before the semester of a ds106 course I teach for UMW students, I send out something I lifted and borrowed from Jim Groom, what we affectionately call the “Scare Email”. Of course we do not want fearful students, but it was our way of letting them know up front how intense the […]

Yes, in a week, we will be into the first day of the headless ds106 course. I am not teaching anyone. No one is. Or everyone is. We already have 23 headless participants. Over the next few days, I hope to put the weekly announcements in the scheduled post queue, with the plan they will […]

As often, I was motivated by Michael Bransom Smith’s response to something called GIFfight Dark Side Around the […]
Once again in the YouDontSeeThisInAMOOC category, long time open participant Melanie Barker gives is a fantastic promo GIF for the Headless ds106 that starts August 26: DS106 makes sense.

Just to be clear… My title is misleading- there are elements of the ds106 site we are going to be making available soon in a format for you to open, paint, fill, decorate, install on your own site. I worry more about the “in a box mindset” cc licensed ( BY NC ) flickr photo […]
If you have not seen the 2009 video at the Sasquatch concert where one dude got a whole crowd going: What the handheld video left out was a just before he started gyrating, he was got his moves from the Bava This is a few days late for the ds106 Month of GIF mania suggested […]
