For the second audio assignment this week for our UMW students in ds106, they are asked to get their toes wet in some audio editing by the assignment for creating a bumper for ds106 radio. Just in case you do not know, ds106 is the only online course, massive or not, that has its own […]

A little over a year ago, someone new entered as an open participant in ds106: I’m working this summer as a grant researcher, and part of the project I’m working with has to do with innovations in education. Partway through my project, I stumbled across a blog called The Tech Savvy Educator, and I continued […]

While waiting for Michael Branson Smith’s video stream to start, I played with that groovy photo on his splash screen: Why can’t Matt hang on to his balloon? And what is MBS glancing at? A story ro be told… Done by some layering, clone brushing, and pixel painting eyeballs in Photoshop

This is the second week of bootcamp for our online ds106 classes at University of Mary Washington; and one of the assignments this week is a challenge. We asked out students to create an animated GIF in response to the Say it Like Peanut Butter assignment— and purposely did not provide explicit instructions. What we […]
