Digital+storytelling+NK

This is my Digital storytelling project. Its a day in the life of a potter named Ryan.This is based on my friend Ryan who has been in the ceramic program with me for over 4 years. It is the day in the life of any potter and what we do when we enter the studio and start working for the day. It involves preperation and how we feel when we have reached a goal. media type="custom" key="4960775"

Digital Storytelling Reflection I have never had the chance to work with a process like I used on Vuvox when making my digital story. Its amazing how technology offers us so many new and interesting ways to create a virtual way to learn. Just by using simple pictures, you can make them come alive to engage your audience. Using this method individually I learned many new skills including placing photos in a way that they convey a message and tell a story along with adding audio to let the viewer know exactly what is going on. The skill I found most interesting that I acquired was the knowledge of embedding audio into my story. Adding audio to a presentation is nothing I have ever done before. It is amazing that you can so simply add your own voice to your work. I first learned how to do this skill with our pod cast assignment. After learning how to use the equipment on the computer I was then able to use it on my power point presentation. Using these two skills I was then able to embed my own story of Ryan the potter into my digital story. This was a great way to entertain the audience that is viewing my story. Also it is a way for me to put my own touch on the pictures and how I want the viewer to react to what they are seeing. This is a skill that I hope to get better at so I can then use it in my classroom when I present work to students from one single artist. It would be great to show a whole slide of artist work to my students from the time they started to the time they ended that period, by using images and myself to narrate.
