Pretty chill week overall in this class but this was probably my busiest school week yet of the semester. I was finishing up research with my psych research team and doing data analyses on our numbers. I also had exams to study for and take and had some other personal things to do. The daily creates were fun this week and so was the radio. The upcoming projects are going to be difficult but I’m going to try and get ahead in them and get started early. Hope everyone else had a good week too! Work embedded below!

Only 4 Weeks Left?? Week 11 Complete
I began this week by tuning in to the Monday radio shows, which was a delightful experience that exposed me to a wide range of perspectives and thoughts regarding the project. Go here to read my opinions regarding a few of the radio shows: Radio Show Thoughts. Our class connects well when we get on Discord and watch everyone chat and share insights during each show. It was a lot of fun because we don’t do this very frequently. After that, I had a conversation with Rishi, my partner for the video project, and we started laying out our plan. After some time, we came to a consensus on an outline that we both liked, and I created a blog post about it titled “Digital Discoveries in Video Project Plan” (Video Project Plan). I can’t wait to begin work on this video project later this week and early the following week. I believe Rishi and I have created a solid outline, and my hope is that we can incorporate all of our ideas into the final product. I then created three daily posts: Daily Create #1, Daily Create #2, and Daily Create #3. I attempt to complete the daily creations as early in the day as possible since I think they help me get started on other things that has to be done and they also seem to stimulate my brain. I loved looking at my classmates’ work as I concluded the week by making typical comments. Based on their daily creations and videos, I get the impression that many of my classmates are highly creative individuals.
Starting with the radio show listening assignment, I thoroughly enjoyed both of this week’s assignments. We shouldn’t take advantage of these rare opportunities to engage in class activities, therefore we should treasure each one of them. In contrast to my group, I found it interesting to hear how other people choose to do their radio show. I also liked how many of us were using Discord throughout the radio shows, as I indicated in the line above. Next, it was fun to plan and outline the video project. We lay the framework for creating the video the next week and have a ton of exciting stuff in mind for it. In any case, working with Rishi was enjoyable, and I hope everything goes smoothly the next week!
I really wouldn’t alter a thing. I believe I did the best I could on each assignment. At this moment, I have no questions. As of right now, everything is completed accurately thus there aren’t any significant problems with my work.
Wow, Week 11 Already Over?!?!
This week was probably one of the lightest weeks so far in terms of work that needed to be completed and it was great because this week was supposed to be one of my busy weeks and it was nice to see that I would not have to worry as much about having enough time to get everything done for this class. One of the assignments we had to do this week was write a blog post about our experiences listening to another radio show on the DS106 station. That post is located here and contained a detailed analysis of the Logic Pod radio show and the themes that were discussed in the video along with my thoughts on the production and the final product of the radio show. Next, we had to create a post that talked about our plan for the video project that we will be working on next week. That post can be found at this link and once again contains a detailed analysis of the project and what my plan is for the project along with how my video might look like when it is all said and done. I enjoyed this assignment because it was cool to try and think about and decide what I could do for a video project and how I could make it unique and interesting and enjoyable to watch. Following that, I made sure to do my daily creates this week as well, and we were required to do three this week. Start on Friday with Daily Create #1, which required us to associate our lest favorite household chore to a game that might help us complete the chore faster. Therefore, I chose cleaning my room and associated it to a race and timing myself to see if I could beat my previous time each time I had to clean my room. Then on Saturday, I did Daily Create #2, which had generate a picture of us reincarnated as a plant and so I chose to reincarnate myself as a carrot plant for no other reason than the fact that it looked the best. I really like the way it turned out so I went with that one. Finally, Daily Create #3 was completed on Sunday, in which we were required to write a one-lined proverb onto a piece of porcelain tile and you can view that at the link above. Last but not least, I left some time to do some commenting to round out the week.
I did not encounter too many issues this week when completing my assignments. I thought things went pretty smoothly this week and I enjoyed doing all of the assignments. From this week, I would say that listening to the different radio shows was my favorite. This is because I found it very enjoyable to listen to all the hard work that others had put into to create their radio shows and listen to how it turned out. Once again, I did not encounter any issues this week for any of the assignments.
I definitely think that I accomplished all of the requirements for the assignments for this week and I think I did them to the best of my ability. Like stated before, my favorite assignment was listening to the radio show. I would not do anything differently for the work that I did this week as it was completed with effort, time, and creativeness. I believe that there are no larger issues at hand with my work. I think that the assignments were done properly and with effort. I do not have any further questions at this time for the class. One thing that I think I did well this week was to stay on top of my work for this class since I was in a busy week this week and I was happy with how I managed to work and get things done.
Weekly Summary: (Week 10)
This week have been very fun. I loved doing a radio show and learning about my friends AI characters. Learning about Leo Storm as well as Jonathan has been awesome. Creating a radio show was a struggle, however it was fun to keep going and get a magnificent final product. I am really excited to hear what people have to say about our radio show.
Week 10 Summary
As this week comes to an end, I look back at what I accomplished as well as what my group accomplished. For starters we completed our radio show. We worked really hard on this project, and I think the finished product shows for our efforts. We used many different applications to create our show. We used Pixabay.com to find music for our radio bumpers, we used elevenlabs.io to write our script for the radio bumpers, and we used both of these applications for our intro and outro. We used Audacity as our main application for recording our radio show. We recorded all of our parts in Audacity, as well as uploaded all of our radio bumpers, intros, outros, and commercials. Over the course of DS106 I have begun to really like using Audacity. It is simple to navigate and can create a lot of unique recordings that I never imaged I could create on my own. Overall, I think the project went smoothly and there wasn’t much trouble/conflict. The only “trouble” we had was just rerecording what we were going to say because we messed up or forgot what we were going to say. I think our final product is great and is definitely worth taking a listen to. Besides the radio show we had two daily creates to complete. I would have to say my favorite of the two I completed was the one about my least favorite chore. Everyone has that one chore they don’t like doing at all. Mine least favorite is doing the dishes. To make doing the dishes go by quicker me and my brother race to see who can do the dishes the fastest and the fast time is the winner. By doing this we get create a fun game out of doing something we both don’t like doing and it gets the chore done at the same time. Overall, this week was a little stressful with the radio show, but it was a fun and memorable experience completing it. Until next time!
Week 10 Summary
This was a great week! None of the assignments gave me any issues and I am very proud of the radio show.
The radio show assignment went even better than I thought it would. My group decided last minute to change up how we were going to record it, but it was definitely for the best and I think it turned out great. I enjoyed getting even more creative with my character and giving him a voice through this assignment. I am also happy with my group in general and how the work was split up and how everyone was pulling their weight. When I first read the assignment description weeks ago, I was nervous that it’d be a stressful group project, but this was probably one of my easier weeks. You can find the assignment here: http://melealineberry.com/uncategorized/radio-show-progress-2/
Daily Creates went well. I am very grateful for the DALL-E integration into Canva which turned my ideas into life. You can find my responses here: https://social.ds106.us/@melea_line
Week 10 Summary
This week, the main task was to complete the radio show project. You can check mine out here. We took the time this week to finalize and record our lines for the show. After splicing it all together with our bumpers and commercials, we got it all finished up!
I also discussed the radio show a bit more in this article.
I completed 2 daily creates, which can be found here. For the first one, I changed the title of “To Kill a Mockingbird” to make it much less culturally significant. I’m sure many middle school classes would not read “To Bill a Mockingbird”. For the next one, I discussed my least favorite chore of taking the trash out and described how I play a game of PIG with myself and try to make the trash into the trash can from far away.
I’m very happy with the outcome of our radio show and thankful for the effort my groupmates put in! Hopefully that effort shines through in the final product!
there goes my weekly summary: #10
This week was different from what we’ve been doing so far. Since our radio show was due we had little else to do and it definitely threw me off my usual routine. While the process wasn’t as fun as I had hoped since most of it was spent stressing out about how well it comes out, the end product is something I can sort of enjoy now that it’s over. You can listen to the podcast and read more about the process to make it here: the little radio show that could. I’m very excited to get back to our normal weekly assignments after this.
Daily creates below!
Day 1: #tdc4454 Splatter The Ink
Day 2: #tdc4458 Change a Letter, Ruin a Book
10 Weeks in a Row
This week was a wind whirl! There were so many moving parts and my group and I got everything finished by Wednesday! To me that is a record because I make sure everything is perfect before turning it in.
I will start by saying that working in a group was not for me. However, we did complete the Radio Show which you can listen to down below!
I also created a new bumper for the radio show and you can read about my journey creating the bumper that is in the radio show!
Next, we had to do two daily creates for this week. Which again is super fun and not really time consuming.
In total, the work load this week was light…on my end of things. I wish that this week could have gone differently but I am ready to move on. I hope next week will be enjoyable. Till next week.
Week Ten! Double Digits!
Oh boy! we are on Week Ten!! This week I wanted to focus on getting the radio show done for this class since it is a big project and my group members were pretty awesome so I wanted to help as much as I could.
I did my update yesterday but I had it saved in my drafts for some reason on word press and I also did Monday’s and Tuesday’s daily create! I had a lot of fun this week and I hope next week is fun as well!
I hope everyone has a wonderful Easter if you celebrate it!
