DESCRIPTION

presented at Wordcamp Vancouver, Oct 12, 2012. "ds106 is an open course in Digital Storytelling that leverages platforms of open source tools, syndication, and social media in a way that makes it more community than course. At ds106.us is a wordpress powered hub that aggregates and recombines input from 500+ external blogs plus a user contributed assignment bank, daily creative challenges, even a radio station. Built by a team of educator tinkerers, not coders, ds106 is as a model of a community network that is not limited to just courses."

A class like ds106 is more than a class, it’s a

community. To keep that community running,

though, we have to do this thing called

communication. It’s one of the things that makes

ds106 so special. And you wouldn’t be here if

you weren’t looking for something different and

creative, right?

ds106 has given this me the conviction that I, at 72,

can make videos, that tell my story beautifully,

thoughtfully, and truthfully. The community aspect

gives me the security that, no how busy I am with

other things, I can always "drop into" ds106 and

continue to learn more.

Participating in ds106 eliminated

my fears—- my fears about my

abilities, my fears about the online

community, my fears about

technology, and my fears about

sharing ideas.

Between daily creates and projects

from the assignment bank, I am

constantly creating things, and I find

myself taking more creative

approaches to everything else in

my life, from approaching problems

at work to noticing the interesting

angles and textures of a room.

Colin Schulz, Spring 2012

Within the first week of doing minor fixes to the

new website, I was asked to restart the process

from scratch and fully design and develop them

a new website by myself. The skills I obtained

from participating in DS106 allowed me to

finish the website in a month, and since it's been

fully launched.

With all the negative mess out there on marriage, I figure it couldn’t hurt to show a little glimpse into the life of a happy couple. Because if finding joy in the every day isn’t art, then I don’t know what is.
