Digital story board

Begin by addressing each of the following elements of a digital story and post your decisions about each element to a blog titled "Addressing the seven Elements of Digital Storytelling.

■Point of View. My story will be told by me.

■Dramatic Question. How has technology changed over the past century? It will be according to my Mother’s life. 1920- to now.

■Emotional Content. It is a story of profound loss----as my mother is taking her last breaths in hospice from a devastating stroke and I am sitting at her bedside, I reflect on the past century and what incredible changes have occurred.

■Voice. I absolutely hate my voice, but I will bite the bullet and narrate.

■Soundtrack. I’m still looking for the appropriate background, music. Not something sad or dark. I am celebrating her life.

■Economy. This will be tough as a lot has happened over the past century. I will try to keep my script short.

■Pacing. I don’t want to say a lot, but will try to keep informal type of talk---around a cup of coffee. This will take some practice. If I can’t get it by the due date, there will be  a lot of music.
