It's All About Me

I knew the assignment: begin with a memoir; bring pictures; create a Digital Story. Sounds simple enough...I had my first few pictures scanned in as jpeg, saved on my jump drive. Somehow, I believed that I was beginning my digital story rough draft, to be completed after I had time to review, revise, and think. I had collected other photos that I wanted to include, and my dear husband scanned them in as a pdf file "because they would be clearer." BAM! 11:30 Saturday morning..."Good Luck!" OMG! I told myself to slow down and think. It seemed simple enough. I followed Photo Story 3. I went to pull my pictures and put them in order. The second set was not there! I knew I had seen them right before I came to class!
Plan B: Take the first set; go from there. Things went very smoothly. Since I was at my school, I left the lab to record in my classroom so that it would be quiet. After an hour in and out of my classroom, I found out that the computer did not recognize my mike. I was waisted by then. I came home to use my equipment at home. Except for a few gliches, things went well. I showed it to my Advisory class in the morning and they loved it! It was hokey, but fun. I am going to do this again.
