In addition to the DS106 MOOC I’m taking as an open online student this semester, I am going to make a very concerted effort to contribute to its\u00a0Daily Creative.<\/a>\u00a0I think it provides a great opportunity to be socially-engaged with like-minded colleagues all over who enjoy taking pictures, recording audio and video clips, and sharing\/providing feedback on each other’s work. I have to say I’m delighted to have found the DS106 community. Or, perhaps it found me… on Twitter! So, I’m sharing an example of yesterday’s assignment as communicated to its followers on Twitter.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I took this image using my Droid 2 phone. Then, I uploaded it to my flickr account (http:\/\/flickr.com\/photos\/harwoobe<\/a>) and tagged it with \u00a0#tdc02. 02 is the second assignment of the semester.<\/p>\n

Here is a bit more information about how it works. From the Daily Creative website,<\/p>\n

The Daily Creative is an exercise in the continual practice of spontaneous creativity through short exercises. Each \u201cassignment\u201d should take no more than 15-20 minutes. There are no registrations, no prizes, just a community of people producing art daily.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

What a very cool way to build community on the Internets! \u00a0Here’s what Day 3 is shaping up to as of this evening.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

If you\u2019d like to join us, here\u2019s how to get started:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Follow @DS106TDC<\/a>\u00a0on Twitter. Each day at 10AM EST a new assignment will be posted. The assignments will vary in discipline with everything from photography and drawing to audio and video.<\/li>\n
  2. Once you\u2019ve completed your assignment, follow the directions on the homepage to upload it to the appropriate service and tag it correctly.<\/li>\n
  3. That\u2019s it! You may wish to tweet out a link to it to let your followers know what you\u2019re up to but this is not a requirement of the site.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
