This week's assignment of creating a one-minute VoiceThread was not only interesting, but fun! My husband and I were at the local Starbuck's, and I pulled out a business card on which to quickly write down the idea I got to write about angels. I couldn't wait to get home to research some angel pictures after writing my script. Ever since I was a little girl, I have had a great love for Angels, especially Guardian Angels. One reason for this is because I grew up in the Catholic Faith, but since studying Mythology and Modern Life this semester at SUNY-ESC, I happily learned that there are angels in various myths and religions--many people believe in some angels!
At first I was very disappointed to find that I couldn't find many downloadable angel pictures on the internet, but after registering on VoiceThread, I found that there is an option to import pictures after searching right on VoiceThread. I was able to use several from the Library on that site plus I used a couple of personal pictures.
I really had fun commenting during the picture slideshow too. I did have some difficulty erasing some of the comments when the comments repeated on a picture. It's really pretty easy to create a slideshow, and afterwards, I added it to my online assignment reflection narrative about creating the VoiceThread. I also posted my VoiceThread Project on the right of this blog entry.
There are only twenty-two days left of the Fall Semester, and I have to say it's been a challenging and interesting, one. Anyone interested in studying digital storytelling, I highly recommend Dr. Nicola Martin's Digital Storytelling course at SUNY Empire State College Online!
