Getting your first dog is always exciting. My experience with getting my first dog was just that, but a little unsettling only because it was over the summer and I was living with my parents. Making Kasey and my parents happy at the same time over a summer was an experience in its own.

Although I have learned all sorts of new skills while being in EDU 290, doing the digital storytelling project has been one I have learned the most from. I thought it would be pretty easy to put pictures in a certain order and make them tell a story but its not as easy as it looks. You have a vision in your head of what you want the story to look and sound like but when the pictures you have don’t match up with the story we want to tell it makes it hard. I had to learn to use my imagination a lot while doing this project.

The task that was hardest for me while working on my digital story was learning how to work iMovie. It was hard for me to understand how to maneuver around iMovie to get my story to work. Once I had my pictures in order it was hard to get them to zoom in and out and get the timing right with my words. Putting everything together, getting the pictures up and going along with my voice was also hard to do. Once I got everything in the order I needed it to be in and had my story recorded it was pretty much smooth sailing after that. I ran into my next hard task as to how to figure out how to put it onto my wikipage. I waited to do that part with my group members so they could help me out.
