Week 3 was fairly interesting task and one that was certainly anything but boring. I must say I did not really know what digital storytelling entailed before jumping into this week’s work. I have begun to realize the possibilities of such a unique brand of storytelling. Overall, I think this course is coming along nicely […]

I like miss amber may work.  The fact that she takes her time and put all those cool effects on her page. Also looking at her work, it shows that she might really be into computer science .

As I was thinking about the video by Kurt Vonnegut, a ton of movies came to mind that fit the standard narratives of start out happy, get in trouble, get out of trouble. This formula can be applied to a ton of blockbuster movies over the years. However, such a graph is pretty boring and […]

Seanmháthair, I long for you to remember Such sweet memories that I hold dear. Sorrow plagues all who know you’ve faded away   Swain Street will forever be in need of your laughter Swearing on your stoop as you would sweat in the summer sun Strolling every day to and from the church doors   […]

Being a college student I am a huge fan of wikipedia. No matter how many professor tell me not to start my research there and how bad the site is for facts. I always find myself there starting to look for answers for my questions. This site I thought put into a definition of digital […]

This week has been pretty hectic. I liked that the digital assignment was so low key. It made completing the other assignments a lot easier. This week we learned about the storytelling process.

This week went by faster than I expected. There was some unforetold technical problems that I had to take care of before I could really get in the swing of things. Luckily, my mother works in and on computers on a daily basis so she was able to get my computer back on track. The […]

  When thinking about what I wanted to covey in my 5 Photo Story, I originally thought about doing something with a deep meaning such as a once busy factory transforming into an abandoned wasteland. However, I eventually decided to do something a little more simple and upbeat. The five photos show an everyday event […]

I visited the inspire page, for my blast from the past. Everything I saw was hilarious, and brilliant. The colors and textures popped off the screen. It was hard to concentrate on just one image, because I wanted to look at them all at once. Creativity was pouring out from every crevice. There was without a doubt […]

For myself, there was no better story than a tale of my cats shenanigans. This sweet little face is my baby, Little Grey. She is a companion like no other, and when you think you will be able to open drawers and put your clothes away think again. Like most cats she will be exploring […]

The bright colors and picture of Cary Grant on the cover immediately caught my attention.
