DS106 or Digital storytelling is a course where people can use their gifts or talents to create, and build either by using audio, video, writing, drawing, and photograph. DS106 can be used whether you are at work school or just at home. It can also be used in design. Whether it be your own web page, or creating a sign for advertising. It is an amazing piece of technology. I can link it up to all different sites like, twitter or google reader. It has many topics of assignments. That is either visual or storytelling. I don’t think its all about the technology , but understanding the requirements then adding what technology to go with it to create your work.
If I was to create some work of art, I would have to use the right technology that fits in with that art. What really surprised me is how much information there is out there about many ways to be creative by using DS106 and photography. It is a great example how old cameras could not give the video technology, but with DS106 it has all the elements to create a video along with your photos, and even add audio.
This will inspire more people to create their own master piece, and I think its a great tool for students to use in a digital age for promoting their ideas. The good thing is it can be used in any field such as, language, art, music, literature, films, and many more topics. The disadvantage is it seems to be a lot of work especially if you struggle with the technology side. On the plus side it can further your career. Also, it helps you promote the things you like and enjoy. For example, I like music and the band Pink Floyd. I can create a video of my choice to fit in with the audio, and it is something I would like to try out in the future not for a profession but for a hobby.
Also, I am interested in soccer and I have found many podcasts about this subject. I will be going through this subject and listening to them during my spare time. Before, this week I never listened to a podcast or viewed a digital story before. It is something new to me . I will be using these tools instead of just watching and listening to YouTube as my own source for now on.

I have really been enjoying working on my Daily Creates. Some of them have taken time and have been challenging for me as I am not the most technologically savvy. What do you think of them so far? Podcasts are great. I usually listen to them when I am driving back and forth from work, a total of one hour.

I enjoy doing the daily creates as well,. Although, sometimes for me they can be a challenging and time consuming depending on what challenge I put myself through. Using technology is not my strong point. I have only just learned about podcast, and found out I can listen to Bible sermons on podcast. I liked your daily creates, and I can see you are picking things up quicker than me.
