Storytelling to me is creatively express yourself in way to make interesting to an audience. There are many ways to tell a story, you can tell a story through audio or video or with just one photograph. Your creativity is main component of storytelling. It can be very simple or complex but at the end of the day it’s up to you how you want your story to be told. Through this storytelling course I will go away with just a lot of new knowledge on social networking sites. Before this class I didn’t tweet or have youtube or flckr accounts but now I’m quite familiar with them. Didn’t realize the importance of archiving before this course now I will make sure to do so on a regular basis. On of my favorite parts of the course were the daily creates. It took something as taking a simple photograph and made it fun. It was your daily opportunity to try to be creative as possible. One of my favorite assignments we did for the class was the adding sound to a silent movie in class. Never really realized how important and difficult it is to make sound until this assignment. We worked in groups and had to figure out how make sound effects for a video clip using objects in the classroom. It was cool to see what the groups came up with. My advice for future students would be to keep an open mind to everything and don’t be afraid to experiment and try new things and make sure you get involved with twitter, it can help you a lot in this class. Not much I would change about the class except maybe start out a little slower for the student who might not be so tech savy, other than that it’s a great class and everyone should take it.
