Digital Story Topic 2

    Yay! Time for digital story#2! Its on the importance of art and how it's changed the world! Since art is everywhere, I don't think it'll be too difficult to find information...or will it? Well, I also plan on mentioning a little bit on how art's personally changed my life. By researching this topic, I'm becoming more of an Effective User of Technology and more Culturally Aware, two of the eight categories of the Graduate Portfolio

Graduate Portfolio Reflection-Story 1

The College of Staten Island High School's Graduate Profile consists a list of categories that outlines what each student strives to achieve. Every student who attends CSI High School will graduate prepared to compete in the 21st century. As a Sophomore, I feel that I have grown towards these goals. This semester, our project relates to this Graduate Profile.
Because of this project, and our Global Technology class, I have become more of an Effective User of Technology. I use technology, such as this blog, g-mail, and deviantart, to communicate and work across national and regional boundaries. I'm experienced in using a number of technological tools, like iMovie, Microsoft Word, and Microsoft Powerpoint, for communication, presentation and data analysis. I'm also experienced in using important computer and communication technologies, such as aim, and show an understanding of the appropriate applications, like WordPerfect. Futhermore, our project has related to our school's Graduated Profile and has helped me become more of an Effective User of Technology.

Digital Story 1


My iMovie!!!!...enjoy!

While making this video, I got a little carried away looking for images. I had a little trouble when I started, since I'd never made any kind of movie before. But, after some time, I figured everything out. Most of the images were easy to find, 'cause I knew what I was looking for. Of course, there were a few pictures that were difficult to find. Such as, finding an "I hate dark chocolate" image, and an "anime grandma" image.
Other than all of that, it was a little difficult to come up with something for the "plans for the future" part. I've never really been sure what I want to do in the future, but recently that's somewhat changed. For my whole life I've drawn, so I always thought being a manga artist was the best road for me, well maybe not always. I still think of being a manga artist, but I've also thought that I'd be good at phycology, I don't really know anything about it but its seems very interesting to me. Also, my mom has mentioned graphic design, and I really think that that's what I'm meant to be. At least I think it is.
Overall, it was really fun working on this digital story, especially when I finally had the music in it. It made it was it is now. Without the music, I believe that the video wouldn't be as good. But, I cant wait to work on another digital story.
