Ds106 is a platform on the internet where people can go to and find ideas to form creative pieces. Creative pieces can be writings, drawings, videos, podcasts, memes, etc. Ds106 has cool and different ideas everyday to bring out the creativity in the people who work on the site. It has a few positives and negatives. First of all, the website was difficult for me to navigate. I thought that ds106 and the daily create were two separate entities. However, when I saw that the daily create was a portion of ds106, things started to make a bit more sense in my head. The home page ds106 is helpful as it explains what ds106 is and it has an easily accessible activity that its users had taken part in previously. The daily create has some options that one can use podcasts, videos, ect to be creative. If somebody were to really want to use these things, he would have to download additional apps to do so. In my opinion, it would be a lot easier to use if the ability to make these type of creations was included within the daily create website. On the plus side, I really like the overall idea of the daily create. I really like it because it gives the user prompts and ideas off of which to branch her creativity. Personally, I do not consider myself to be very creative, and these prompts are essential for me to think artsy and create something. I feel like I need a topic or a reason to create something, and the prompts are just the reason I will need. As of right now, I have not created anything quite yet. I am nervous about creating because while the examples shown on the website were simple and seemed doable, I have no experience with any art creator app or anything of the sort. I probably will resort to using writing as my creative piece to post on twitter or my blogs as the “creates” that we are asked to post there. I am also nervous about transporting what I create onto my blog so that everyone can see it. Pictured is my face that shows how unsure I am about all this. Similar to everything in this class, it will be a learning curve for me because I am not very technologically advanced. Overall, I am up for the challenge and hope that I am fully understanding the scope of the assignments and the 20 creates that we are supposed to make.
