Digital+Story+Telling+AL

This is a digital story about my experiences of performing poetry. In the beginning, it was something that was greatly feared. Through multiple experiences it became something that I greatly enjoyed, even to this day.

Being that I feel that the generation that I have grown with is the generation with technology embedded with nearly every aspect of life, the assignment of a digital story was very much inside of my comfort zone. Yet, with the ideas that I had with my story, I still had to dive into a program I had never used before. Vuvox was one of the programs that was only mentioned inside of the class and was suggested to me because of the types of media I wanted to use (video, audio, pictures, etc). When I first opened the program, it was fairly self-explanatory. It had options to upload pictures, videos, and audio which I find pretty standard when it comes to most programs. Though, the biggest lesson that I learned was the harmony that I had when it came to using other programs to help with this. Because of the podcast assignment we had done earlier in the semester, I used a program called Myna. This was a wonderful tool when I created my first podcast. Because I wanted to have an audio track aid the presentation of my digital story, I turned to Myna to create it. I definitely learned that I can use multiple tools together to create a very strong piece. Despite not applying music in the background like I had done for the podcast, I still feel like the digital story had a very strong element with it.
