Digitales Evaluation

Oh Yes I Can by Jane used many photos to get her point across. Instead of words she used pictures to understand her presentation and to get her word across. she used an emotional mood to express her pictures. she used pictures of kids and a report card so people would understand her pictures. her topic was a story of a yound girl re-writing and re-claiming her own life. she expressed this by taking pictures of the girl from when she was small to now. Krystan who wrote about her past revealed everything that went on. she revealed the pain she went through and the obstacles she had to over come. In her pictures she expresses how she feels and even the deppressing moments she went through.  

Digital Story Narrative 2

In 2005 a big hurricane struck. Nobody thought it would be bad enough where people start to lose their life and even lose their house. Hurricane katrina first started off as a category one hurricane in the Bahamas moving through southern Florida. It began to strengthen as it breezed through the Gulf of Mexico to a category three hurricane and moving to New Orleans. Eighty percent of New Orleans was flooded for weeks, but the worst was the coastal areas that had 90% of damage. Over a thousand people lost their life and even more lost their homes. Everybody who didnt live in new orleans felt bad for them. New York sent a few trucks to help the new orleans fireman get the water out of the city. Many people didnt have anywhere to go and couldn't get any help to get out of new orleans. Some eventually died from starvation or trying to send out an SOS. Its hard to tell this story because i really wasnt their and i cant explain the story from a person who experienced this. 

Graduate Portfolio Reflection- Story 1

For my project i think the categories i think that best goes with my project are Aware of World Events and Global Dynamics and Literate for the 21^st Century. I associate these two with my project because in my project I used a picture of Oabama who happens to be our president if anybody didn't know that by now and a picture of a person during hurricane Katrina. I used these pictures to help people understand what is going on in the world. A picture of a person during Hurricane Katrina to let them know the pain and suffering some people went through. I also chose Literate for the 21^st Century because living in today's world everyone uses technology. In my project I used a cellphone and music to let people know that I am literate for the 21st century. I communicate by email and phone just like everyone else. 

Digital Story Topic 2

My next digital story might be on my travel experiences. The places that i have traveled, how i felt about it, and who i traveled with. This is going to show different cultures and what they do for fun, what they eat, and different things like that.
