\"LoNLou_Fade\"<\/a>As scottlo fades into the airwaves and twitter feeds [EP:25<\/a>] Rockylou has stepped up once again to fill in on the LoDown. Jim Groom<\/a> and\u00a0Mikhail Gershovich<\/a>\u00a0posited a number of theories yesterday in episode 27<\/a>\u00a0for Scott’s sudden and unexplained departure – from joining a rebel group to getting a much deserved PAID gig with one of the big MOOCs.\u00a0\u00a0But he hasn’t totally abandoned us. Thanks to the wonderful world of recorded audio, we’re able to listen in on a recent Skype chat between the Lo and the Lou to witness the birth of the audio self-reflection project<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Scott was concerned about the amount of work that it would take to produce and post the DS106 self-reflections. But, as I surmise in this previously recorded chat, I’ve only had three submissions<\/a> so far, four if you count mine<\/a>. Not a whole lot of work to do here.<\/p>\n

So where are you all? We’d love to know who you are, how you found yourself in DS106, and why you’re still here. \u00a0Especially the UMW students in this insanely compressed 5 week summer course. \u00a0I’m making it easy. \u00a0You can send me a tweet @rockylou22<\/a>\u00a0, fill out the contact form<\/a> to submit your own 3-5 min audio file, or schedule a Skype chat with Rockylou. \u00a0You can even earn stars with\u00a0AudioAssignments1119<\/a>.<\/p>\n

And, thanks to Sean’s<\/a> twitter comments [Twitter Feed<\/a>]\u00a0there’s a new audio assignment [AudioAssignments1121<\/a>] for those of you who can’t stomach all those glowing self-reflections about\u00a0what’s so great about DS106<\/a>. Have a little fun and make a parody by recording a 3-5\u00a0minute\u00a0“self-reflection” from the point of view of a disgruntled student, teacher, or open-onliner, etc. \u00a0Start by creating an obviously\u00a0fictitious\u00a0name and location, then let ‘er rip. \u00a0Maybe use a different voice, and some strange background music. \u00a0Provide a thumbnail image that will grab the reader’s attention when they scroll down the list. \u00a0Here’s an example of a self-reflection you can poke fun at.<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
