Bulletin Board

Although the final product didn't exactly match what I visioned it to look like, our bulletin board is still colorful, fun and informative. If you notice the sloppy pink sign on the left - I spent a decent amount of time making a nice sign over spring break... and I forgot it back at my apartment. We were pressed for time so I had to quickly make one. I took it as a learning experience, sometimes teachers have to improvise. A border would have looked nice too. Oh well, next time!

Digital Story Reflection

Creating a digital story it not an easy process. It requires a lot of thought, time and preparation. The first step is to think of an idea. For me this was a one sentence idea that I built off of. I knew I wanted to follow a person in their journey to becoming healthy but I had no idea how I was going to go around this. Luckily Kevin volunteered to help me by being the main character in the story and we ended up working on the whole project together. Initially I was going to work alone but I'm happy I ended up having a partner in the end because this was such a large project.

After I had the idea set it was time to come up with the actual story. I wrote up something briefly and Kevin helped me to perfect it. After we had the story set, we thought of what pictures/videos could be used with each line. We created a script with the picture and video notations next to each line. This preparation made the actual process a lot easier.

One Saturday Kevin and I took all the pictures and videos. It only took about an hour or two because we had direction; we knew exactly what we needed.

It's finished!
