As a learner in this course As Learning with Digital Stories (INTE 5340)  comes to an end, there are three main ideas that will stick with me after this course.

The semester is already coming to an end and this is the last week of full production work. Here is what I completed for this week:

Nilsson (2010): Developing Voice in Digital Storytelling through Creativity, Narrative and Multimodality This was a reading I can relate to a lot and this could have been something worth reading earlier in the semester.

Wow! This week I was looking for something more inspirational to critique and I think I found it. I am not a morning person, as a matter of fact, I hate mornings.

Whew! I knew this was going to be a very busy week for me outside of class and I’m glad I planned accordingly. Here’s a summary of what I completed this week.
