My Culminating Experience Project Video: The Impact of Student Perceptions on Academic Online Success (2 parts)

 

Reflections on creating my digital story: 

1. I have to say that using a storymap and storyboard really helped in very useful and meaningful ways. During development, greater focus can be placed in scene details without worry about overall fit (because you've thought of that!)..


2. Creating a digital story can be a tremendous amount of work! But, I guess it doesn't have to be either. The trick is in knowing the difference.


3. I'm definitely a new fan of this communications median. I hope to get better at it!

4. Unlike a few days ago, I was unable to post my video in 1 post - must have been too big.

My digital digital-storyboard story

Reflections on creating my digital storyboard:  1. Trying something new is always a bit challenging and this little project wasn't any different. Once I figured out work-flow, everything else fell into place. 2. Using the concept of "scenes", greatly helps when it comes time for production. Full focus on the scene at hand, while being confident it fits onto a larger picture sure makes life easier for the DST. 3. I had to use almost everything I know to make this product. It wasn't easy but I learned a great deal in the process. 4. I'd love to share my storyboard with all of you but the file is about 200mb (PDF)! 5. Now that I have all of the pieces basically created, next week I can focus on making everything come together for a finished video.  6. Hopefully, Ohler's simple magic works. The core prevails, and my stories-story shines through!

How to kill mold in your brother's swimming pool

 

My Reflections on making this video: Finding the 'story core' was a real challenge for me this week, the added question was how to accomplish that type of 'deep message' within the context of an How To Video? I have to admit it was a real challenge. Might have even knocked me off my game for a couple of days!? The central message that I wanted to send in this video is that 'helping' doesn't always have to be physical, yet to send that message within the context of a How to Video.  That's how I finally came up with the idea of 'helping' my brother clean his black mold.  I somewhat succeeded, I guess.Although I did fail in getting this video turned in last night!!  Felt fine all last week, now I don't. Hopefully it passes soon.

I've moved my technology development efforts to a new blog. My focus is on experimenting with Web 2.0 tools and mashups.
