In English 106 when Eric said that all students need to create their own digital stories by video, I was so exciting in the fact that this will be my first time. I got no problem with my writing, but the funny thing in this project that I have never recorded my voice on my whole life. I was thinking what I'm going to present to my classmates, so they can get a picture about my life. Then I decided to talk about my trip to the desert which starts every winter break. On the other hand, there were two significant challenging with my digital story. First of all, the only step that was difficult for me is recoding the sound. In addition to that, the other thing is the Windows Movie Maker which I know nothing about it, but now I'm very good with that. Moreover, I didn't find pictures belong to my story and then I took many pictures from the internet. Some students are confused between writing essay and tell story. I definitely feel the same thing, but I would say that writing essay relates to the digital story only when there is a good way to put them on one piece. From the digital story, you are using more than one sense I mean the audiences can use their eyes and ears because the music and pictures. However, academic writing has only one sense which is the eye by the words.
The most important step for every essay or story is citing the sources. Personally, I got many pictures from Google and I put the references at the end of my story. Before this class if I picked any picture or music I don't cite the Web site because of the different cultures around the world. I consider that a good thing since others worked and they don't need others to take their work without giving them credits
