DS106 Writing Assignment Bank: Haiku About You

Studying from home.

Wishing I was on campus,

but enjoying spring.

 

***I was not in the best mood when I wrote this, but it’s my current perspective of on-line education.**

DS106 Assignment Bank – Mashup: 10 Second Song Mashup

Actually, it’s an 11 second mashup, but it’s the best I could do to throw together four of my favorite songs.  This is a Mashup Assignment on the DS106 page.  See if you can figure them out by listening to the piano introductions!

DS106 Design Assignment: Motivational Poster

Slide1Made this DS106 Design Assignment and added a Coen brothers twist.  If you’ve ever seen The Big Lebowski, you’ll understand the context.  Very simple design using (gasp!) Microsoft Power Point.

DS106 Audio Assignment: Movie As Radio

I was amazed at how quickly I was able to put this DS106 Assignment Bank project together.  With all the movie audio, including songs and some soundbites, is available on a CD, it makes things much easier.  This was a favorite soundtrack to listen to back in 1995.  In Madison, a person could hear “Son of a Preacher Man” playing in every other bar on State Street.  One of my favorite films.  I’m still waiting to go to Paris to get a “Royale With Cheese” !

DS106 Video Assignment: Dear Sixteen Year Old, Me

This DS106 Video Assignment didn’t take too much time to record, but it did take a while to think about what I was going to say.  Most of it is light, but I do talk a bit serious for a couple of moments.  Recorded this with my iMac webcam, cut together in iMovie and even put in a Fine Young Cannibals tune from 1988.   Not sure if the music was a nice compliment or a bit of a distraction.   Comments appreciated.
