I could not resist this, even though I really should have spent the last hour doing something productive. But I read Mike Caulfield’s post on True of EdTech As Well, where he latches on to a criticism of the TED technocratic approach to world problems, and this quote from a quote just cried out to […]
That’s right. “They” will be here, keeping you up late at night in front of the blinking screen — rattling their animated chains, broadcasting ghostly noises, spooking you to do things daily, remixing your senses… August 27 marks the start of the two online sections of ds106 at University of Mary Washington. Will “you” be […]
makes use of cc licensed ( BY NC ) flickr photo by bitchcakesny: http://flickr.com/photos/bitchcakes/5187928447/ Now that the 2012 Summer of ds106, Camp Version is over, I spent some time trying to pull some numbers from the machine, given how crazy folks are about analytics and massive. First of all, I want to thank all 172,000 […]
I thought it was time to try the ds106 Wiggler Spectroscopy assignment: Take two photos of the same subject from slightly different angles. Merge the two photos into a single looped, animated gif to create a wiggle stereoscopic image that simulates 3-D. I decided to use my pal Spike, the metal dog in my front […]
Time after time the road out of a blog funk is sitting down to make some silly ds106 art. So it was later this afternoon, when this tweet form Cathy Finn-Derecki set me in motion: https://twitter.com/saracup/status/229003436803383297 So challenged to put Sebastian Thrun on the cover of Tiger Beat, I got out the old Photoshop clone […]
Since we are making our ds10r students do it, we really ought to be trying the Remix Generator too. My spin and some play got me: This is the remix of the assignment Brian Metcalfe’s Image with a Message: Demonstrate that “a picture is worth a thousand words” by superimposing a famous quotation over a […]
Okay, you creative wanna be privates! Many of you got down and followed the drill for a week of doing Daily Create assignments every day. THAT IS AMAZING. I did not think you had it in you. BUT DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DONE?? YOU ARE NOT DONE YET! NOW YOU HAVE TO MAKE A […]
I like you, You like me. Let’s make a photo. The last Daily Create of the Seven Day Challenge is to make a photo that illustrates the idea of attraction (this is one we borrowed from our inspiration, the Daily Shoot.)
Alas, our crew has dwindled to 15, do you seek more abuse? I will skip. Coming up in a next post will be the challenge wrap up, which is to make some new art out of the pieces we have collected.
Here are some I really enjoyed, just a scroll down past the blog fold…
Your week of Daily Create Challenges is almost over. Are you still in it? Today is another audio one, “Flip the decibels- Make a loud sound soft or a soft sound loud” — and very clever because the creativity is both in the choice and thinking about it, and the execution of it.
While 25 people joined the Soundcloud group, as of today I see 12 sounds, which leads me to think people are still working on it (if they do not, the drill sergeant is going to make them run laps all night in the rain).
I really enjoyed the variety here, and these are going to be very interesting media used for the final mashup challenge. A few favorites sit below the blog fold.
The Daily Create Seven Day Challenge piles up hard this week, with another video one today (I did not even look to see what was lined up when I made the challenge). For today’s we have 18 Challengers still standing, which is respectable. Where’s the others? preparing to have sand kicked into their faces, I bet?
Today was another in a series suggested by @noiseprofessor, a philosophy series, “What technology you cannot live without?”:
What can you expect? Mobile phones? Web sites? Computers? Cars? Check out some favorites below the fold…
