Digital Stories

I have never been one that was super savvy when it came to technology.  Sure, I can do the basics on Word and Powerpoint, but have never really been able to take advantage of the new technology that was developed in my generation.  For the digital story project, I feel like that all changed.  There is something about speaking and using visual sources to tell a story that makes it so much more than just words on paper.  For my project individually, pictures were super helpful in order to portray everything I was talking about that dealt with the art of Sarah Brown.  I don't think that text would have been nearly as affective.  In addition to being able to portray a stronger message through the use of iMovie, I learned a lot about technology as well.  I had to learn how to record my voice, incorporate a soundtrack, use pictures and transitions affectively, as well as learning overall how to use the program.  I really think that this experience has helped shaped my writing style and it is definitely something that I would like to do again. It was a different way of writing, and a new way of learning.
