Week 10: Finishing Video and “Changing Over”

This week in ds106 we’ll be completing our video unit and beginning the “Changeover” that will take us through the final weeks of the course (don’t worry, we promise this won’t hurt.) Those of you who worked in groups for video during week 1 will be completing your group project; the rest of you will be completing individual video assignments. We have one last remaining video assignment everyone must do. Beyond that, you’ll all be choosing whether to organize into groups or work solo for the rest of the semester, and everyone will switch over to being their character from here on out.

Let’s Talk About Sharing Credit

Considering this week is all about collaborative work, I wanted to introduce the idea of sharing credit to DS106. We’re a community of creators, so why not make an assignment to demonstrate that?

I was hanging out in the ITCC doing my work, like normal, when who stumbled by but …

And I Related It to MSDOS Games

For 3 stars this week, I completed the Cartoon You assignment, including Emily Bostaph’s Cecilia Alva in the process, since Donnie is in contact with her regarding her late husband’s death.

I Guessed I Was A Guest

For my final assignment of the week, I tried something a bit new.  Seeing as this is a “digital storytelling” class, I decided to write a little story with the caveat being it had to contain a plethora of homophones. The assignment was only worth one star, but I’d already …
