How can you be #4life without over 600 blog posts about ds106?
It all started with a tweet from someone I don’t know. Today’s DS106 Daily Create was about showing how “massive” it is: #ds106 #dailycreate #tdc1602 Show the world how DS106 is MASSIVE https://t.co/y7RxyNZJva pic.twitter.com/hqu7qXFZje — ds106 Daily Create (@ds106dc) May 28, 2016 And I smiled seeing how @g1000p, a twitter account with 4 total tweets, […]
While #western106 has long ridden off the horizon (or sunk into the desert sand), I had a movie left to finish watching. For longer than I can remember, I’ve loved Little Big Man for a number of things, but on so many levels its a Western that does not exactly act like one. Actually what […]
This kind of small act of near random #ds106 connection will not increase enrollments, will not “fix” education, will not improve institutional metrics… yet I just cannot let it slip by without a small “wow”. And the ironic thing is that the tweet in which I saw it came into my view about 5 minutes […]
Once a media idea worms into my head, it’s gotta play out before I can do other things. So it was this morning, leading to this: Jim Groom has been running fun and wild with the record store metaphor for Reclaim Hosting, fueled by the recognizable style of Bryan Mathers. My coffee was still brewing […]
Like many folks, I was interested in comic guru Nick Sousanis’s call for participation in a week of Grids and Gestures Quickly, have a look at your ceiling tiles or other grid-ish things around you. If you then imagine putting these features to music, you might have regular long notes on the tiles, some shorter […]
Like a classic MOOC dropout artist, I’ve fallen so far off of my #western106 horse I can’t even see the dust any more. I had grand hopes of running a DS106 in a genre of Western films/stories. I was doing trailers back in October for a planned online class to teaching at Kansas State University, […]
Darn you Daily Create sending me down a creative rabbits hole. Thanks. And I’m responsible for today’s challenge #ds106 #dailycreate #tdc1552 It’s 4/8/16 Make Art to Celebrate the Power of the Number 4 https://t.co/hMegpYbuET pic.twitter.com/SW4CiurJfC — ds106 Daily Create (@ds106dc) April 8, 2016 I look for patterns in numbers, and while loading future Daily Creates […]
Long ago, long before the web, as a Geology student, I was on a trip to Los Angeles. On the return drive along I-10 I saw this billboard that read: Barry’s Bail Bonds: We’ll get You Out… Even if it Takes Us 20 Years! Why does this memory stay in my little brain some 30 […]
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 […]
