A Primer on Serious Games, Meaningful Play, and Games in Education
My interest in serious games/meaningful play, and games in second language education in general has grown over the past few years, so I figured I’d start putting together this collection of useful resources I come across on the subject. Hopefully this will grow big enough that I can start compiling something more concrete and useful […]
Cinemagraph
I decided that with all of the animated GIFs being posted to DS106, I would try my hand at creating a Cinemagraph, which is a specific form of animated GIF, described as “somewhere between a still photograph, and a video”. My inspiration came from this collection of movie Cinemagraphs, and I used this tutorial to […]
Lost and Found
This DS106 McGuffin was inspired by this post from Allen Liddell.
The Prematurely Ended Story: A DS106 MacGuffin
What would have happened had Bastian not developed a thirst for fantasy literature?
Sorapot

The NAS itself is a great piece of hardware, especially for the price, and allows us to archive media, student projects from iMovie and Garageband, and store backup images of our application […]
IALLT Flickr Set
While at IALLT I got a chance to test my camera that I bought some time ago, but as of yet have had little time to try out. I also ran the photos through Lightroom, which I have been pretty pleased with. It is fairly fast on my older G4 Powerbook, and has some nice […]
IALLT 2007, Thurs. June 21 – Comic and Manga Creation
On the fun side of things, Felix Kronenberg from Pomona College did a demonstration of some of the software available for making comics and manga, and some of the projects that students have used them for. Felix mentioned Manga Studio, which I saw at Digital Stream, but rightly pointed out that it is too complex […]
