I am currently taking course EDLD 5363 which is Multimedia. I wasn't sure what to expect from this class, but after reading the Week 1 Overview, I was hooked. I knew I was going to grow from this course and use some amazing technology! The first week's assignment was to create a digital story about myself or something in my life. My thoughts immediately went to the past three years of my life which included a divorce, the birth of my daughter, and moving to a new state. It really helped me emotionally to share this story with a partner, Melanie. Melanie, as an outsider, was able to ask me questions which helped me add to my story and reflect on the parts that I wasn't always comfortable sharing.
Making this digital photo story was a great addition to my life. I have already shared the project with friends and family because I am so proud of it! The sense of accomplishment of creating something new with technology and also being able to put my life's choices into a photo story was an amazing project!
