Creating a Digital Story

This week in my EDLD 5363 Multimedia and Video Technology graduate class at Lamar University I had to create a two minute digital story. This was a challenging assignment but very rewarding at the same time. I was very proud to share a part of my life through this class. I grew up up on a cattle ranch in Central Texas and I am very proud of that heritage and it was exciting to share a glimpse of that life. I think it inspired me to tell more stories about growing up on a cattle ranch. I especially would like to share stories about my father who was a great inspiration for me. I also aspire to use this technology in my teaching field, science. There are so many interesting stories I enjoy sharing with my students and this is now a tool I can use to really liven up those stories!
