Digital Storytelling

Since we just got assigned our digital story projects I decided to talk about digital story telling. I was amazed at the video we watched by the young girl. When we first started talking about the assignment personally I was like, "Oh no!" I'm terrible with computers and absolutely dread things like this. Knowing that a young girl can do this and as well as she did do it was motivating. I thought if she could do it, I'm sure I can. When I think about the feelings I got from both Ted's and her digital stories really showed me how effective these projects are at getting your message across. It was inspiring and moving but to have someone just speak what was said in the videos really wouldn't have had the same effect. There are so many neat things you can do to create a feeling to your story. The way you make an image come in or fade out, or whether it’s fast or slower really add to your message. I thought about how by doing something you truly care about you will then want the end product to be the best it can be. I realized wow this is our time to move an audience with a story that moves us! Now I'm really excited to do this project! I found another digital story that I thought was really good that was also done by a young girl. The site is really cool it's all about digital stories to make a change in something.
