Digital Storying Telling Project

This week, we had a work day for our digital storying telling project. Our true life video is going to be really good and informative. It is short, fun, and to the point on very diverse topics about important things freshman should know. I think that this video is going to help inform the Hixson freshman next year in getting comfortable with campus and using its resources. Since us peer mentors have gone threw the experiences of being freshman, we know what it is like to be a small person in this very large campus and it can be overwhelming at times. We had our own thoughts and fears and things that we wish we would have known coming into college. These ideas might be the same as a lot of the incoming freshman next year. The video will also be a good introduction to the video that they are going to have to make during the semester and will help give them ideas on what to do (or not to do) in their own movie. I was an actress in the video and I know that there were some problems getting everybody together on the scheduled time, but we were able to find a different day that worked for most people. I think we got the filming done on time and now all that is left is the editing. I think that our movie is going to turn out great because we have such a great group of peer mentors! :)

  1. I agree our movie is going to be awesome! I hope it helps the incoming freshman because there are several tips in our movie that I definitely could have used!

  2. I am really excited to see how good your acting skills are. I liked that you mentioned that scheduling times was difficult for this project. Scheduling will be a conflict for you in the fall as well. Reflect on how you made it work this semester so that you can advise your students in the fall. Possibly sharing this information right away with the group would be the best approach.

  3. Our project is going to be great! Big shout out to Easton being such a great leader, Sebastian and Laura writing the script and everyone being willing to help however we can! The idea to give our students ideas of what we wish we would have known our freshman year! Can't wait to see how this turns out.
