Learning About Digital Storytelling

We're approaching the halfway mark in my Digital Storytelling course, and I'm having a great deal of fun, but boy is it hard work! I try very hard to follow the story-planning and writing instructions of Maguire, Lambert and Miller in their textbooks. Keeping a blog is the most fun part to me, and there's so much to write about with all the extensive reading, planning and writing included in this course.

I recently purchased a new Sanyo VPC-S141414.0 megapixel, 4 zoom digital camera to help me capture good, up-to-date pictures and to load them on my computer to use in my blogs, videos, and social networking sites, like Gather.com and Facebook.com. It took me several hours to figure out how to use the camera adequately, but downloading the pictures and uploading them was really fun! The hardest part of the course for me is meeting the deadlines and ensuring that all the links to my assignments work. I posted my 2nd Assignment Video, "Anne and Tim's Love Story: How Two Writers Fell In Love With Each Other's Writing," just below this blog post, and my Narrative About Filming this video to the right of this blog.

I'll be posting a couple of pictures of my hubby, Tim, and I that we took at a local park and Starbucks with this post. We really enjoyed taking them, especially with the beautiful and colorful Fall foliage which I hurriedly captured since Fall is my favorite time of the year here in New York where we get the change of the Seasons! We've really been enjoying this Fall's harvest and have visited nearby Secor Farm as much as possible, and we're planning to get a picture of the farm the next time we visit, but that's another story!
