For Project 4: I chose to remix Anne of Green Gables. It’s kind of a long novel but it’s in chronological order, organized by events, so I’ll only be using some of them. Anne is a red-headed adopted orphan girl in Canada and throughout the book she’s getting into accidents and making mistakes and causing […]

What I Did: Today we talked a lot about the project so I didn’t have much time to work but all the ideas that were thrown out were really helpful. I looked through all the Story Remix possibilities and I narrowed down and chose which story I want to work with to Anne of Green […]
Beginning Project 4

What makes a good remix: I thought the strongest projects in the list of examples were the ones that actually mixed up how the story was told. Of course you can “re-tell” or “re-think” a story by communicating it using a different form of digital media but some of the projects I thought were just […]
Presentations Day 3: inklewriter

Today I thought that the first presentation, on inklewriter, was the most interesting. I used to read Choose Your Own adventure books as a kid but the idea of having an interactive story like that online is really cool because you could either use it in a fun way or a serious, productive way. I […]

However, thematic looked pretty interesting and is probably one I’ll look into in the future. I really enjoy photography and showing my trips to people over social media, and this app is perfect […]
Presentations Day 1: Videonot.es
by • • Comments Off on Presentations Day 1: Videonot.es
I thought all the presentations today were really good but the one that stood out to me that I could really see myself using in the future is videonot.es. I’m not very big fan of audio or video editing so most of these applications didn’t appeal to me for the idea of my personal use. […]
Peer Review

I couldn’t make it to class today so I didn’t get an official peer review but I did have a friend outside of class look over what I had in an attempt to get some other opinions. She didn’t really understand the project so she didn’t have much insight for me but she did approve […]

What I Did: Today I split my screen with MindMup opened in Firefox in on the left and a Word document with my web essay outline on the right, just taking more notes on specific areas like audience, purpose, author, etc. Why I Did It: Friday I need to have my rough draft of the […]

What I Did: Today I didn’t have much time to work because I read over the assignment instructions and details for Project 3 on the website. After I had a pretty good idea I reviewed my schedule and downloaded the Apple app MindMup to my iPhone. Why I Did It: I had to review the […]
