For those that might be utterly confused with why I’m posting the following image, I’m taking part in an intensive 5 week digital storytelling course through the University of Mary Washington. No, I’m not receiving credit, and I don’t even have to make all the deadlines…..I’m just an edu-geek like that! Suffice it to say, things like a screaming, rampaging stay puft marshmallow man will most likely be the least strange thing posted to my blog in the next few weeks. Enjoy!
