How can you be #4life without over 600 blog posts about ds106?
When I hear folks in my stream sharing stuff for Open Education Week, my inner cynic wonders what they do the rest of the year. Or speculate a world where we do not have to draw attention in this way to Openness. I get it. The whole idea is to raise awareness, and most of […]
I think it was Mariana Funes that share what I think is one of the best GIF’s I’ve seen pic.twitter.com/S9wtnaYs8M — Amy Hoy (@amyhoy) March 10, 2016 There is so much to like about this play on the final shoot out scene from The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly– the unexpected insert of the […]
It’s quite possible I finished four books this month; two may have been started in January, but four in a month is a recent record for me in finishing. Both of these books I bought as part of my interest in westerns and #western106. While both are in the range of western genres, they could […]
A few weeks ago I got an email from Justin Reich asking if I wanted to run a workshop on connected courses with him at DML 2016. Heck yeah! I’m a big follower of his work, and it was Justin who got me on board doing an aggregation hub a few years ago for the […]
That first heady phase of the first round of DS106, back to December 2010, before Jim Groom’s first class very started, set the stage for the creative riffing ethos that is part of this crazy space.

It was just a simple daily create. Well today’s could be simple (take a photo of a cloud) but the prompt was to play with the idea of the Judy Collins song Both Sides Now. Bows and flows of angel hair and ice cream castles in the air and feather canyons everywhere, I’ve looked at […]
Some of the best experiences doing the DS106 Daily Create are taking on one that you think is maybe not all that special, interesting, and falling into a magic shiny rabbit hole… in the act of just letting the mind fly open and also stumbling across the unexpected trigger. I’m responsible for today’s one– I […]
I JUST FINISHED READING A BOOK? Can I get a badge? As much as I enjoy reading, I am a pathetic xMOOC-like reader- I keep signing up and rarely complete. I have at least 3 books on a table at home with a bookmark in the middle, and on my various apps, at least 5 […]
I was not going to do today’s DS106 Daily Create task to add a modern context caption to a Frederic Remington painting: I had already done the one that appears there. But I am just sipping coffee, and in much less time than this blog post will take, I made a simple meme image (I […]
