Read MoreWeek 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.

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 …
Read MoreAnd 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 took a pixel art approach, similar to Code Monkeys, to delve deeper into GIMP.

This week will be a bit of a hodge-podge of activities. We’ll be turning in starting this week (and finishing next week) to each others’ radio shows at night. We’ll be reviewing and sharing the work of others that has inspired us most, so far. And we’ll be delving even further into our characters.
Read MoreI 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 …
