The process of making this digital story was interesting. I wasn’t sure how to make this video at first and so I decided to wait until the last minute to do it. I ended up borrowing my roommate’s mac so I could use the iMovie to make my digital story. The metaphor was that learning is like being an athlete. That’s always something I went by growing up, practices makes me better. That’s what I did my digital story on.
I searched a lot of ideas in the process of making this. I wasn’t sure what metaphor I wanted to choose to make the digital story out of. It was cool to see what all metaphors can go into as being a leaner.
At first I wanted to make the story based on being a tennis player because I played high school tennis all my high school career and I’ve learned a lot of being a player and learner through tennis. I’ve learned a lot of life lessons through tennis as well and my coaches. One of my tennis coach was a math teacher and all of the coaches had lots of wisdom in their blood. One of the main thing I remember learning from high school tennis was that “You have to practice like you perform and perform like you’ve practiced. If you don’t give 100% in practice then there’s no way you can give 100% in games.”That’s what gave the me the idea for my digital story.
It was hard to figure out how to run a mac because it’s not what I am used to so I apologize in advance if the video isn’t turning out the greatest or playing right! I tried to find lots of photos and wrote the script. All photos were taken from google image and the song is under the sea from sponge bob. Enjoy the video and the song I picked for it, don’t hate me if you get it stuck in your head!
