For the two stories that i portrayed for the tech task 50 ways to tell a story, i chose to tell the story of my highschool career. the first website i used was animoto.com and the second (this blog) was http://www.glogster.com/. This website is literally an only scrapbooking site/blog. It was really fun to create this to tell my story of highschool. It was easy to use and by the looks of the website used by mostly by teenagers. It was interesing to look at the "glogs" that were already created on that website. A huge chunk of them were about Twilight, which made me a little nauseous. This website also provides the option of adding video to a "glog", which would have been interesing, but i have no video on my computer from highschool.

If you are into scrapbooking and fun stuff like that, i would recommend this website. I really havn't explored it further then creating this glog, but it looks interesting. My user name is deebau, WE COULD BE FRIENDS! It's pretty intense, check it out, it'll take you back a couple years of 4 hour long msn conversations and myspace and hotmail email forwards, and all that fun stuff we wasted our evenings on when in grade eight.

final project infooooormation

for my final project in ECMP, me and robbie have been working (or not so much yet) on a video for the nextvista website. last monthish when we were home in the Battlefords, me and him did a round about trip throughout the communitee and took some LOVELY pictures of schools, museums, galleries, churches, old houses, resturants, and all those loevely things that make up a city/town. You guys will just love the video that we do make and im sure after watching it you will be soooo excited to visit The Battlefords. I mean for anyone who has been there you know what im saying, its a prettttty happening place, cosidering the newest, nicest building in North Battleford in the liquior board. I don't mean this in a demeaning way, I love the battlefords. I know you guys can't wait to see the video so we will work to get it up sometime soon, and while your waiting why not check out the battleford's website. Enjoy fellow earthlings.

This is the video that i chose that incorporates elements of a successful video. The different shots and angles are arranged in a way that allows a smooth visual effect for the viewer. This video is hilarious, and is very well put together. check it out!

google maps



google maps, google earth, making my life public. during the online class while we were talking about this i brought up the question "wouldn't a stalker use this application?", while my prof told me that this application really wasn't anything too showy interms of privacy, and would not be used by stalkers, i had my doubts. I mean if i was a stalker i would definetly use it!




I did my google map with battleford sask. my good ol' home town. Battleford is about a three minute drive from the city of Northbattleford.

This is my highschool story

I used animoto to tell the story of my high school career. I was olnly to use a very little amount of photos which was kind of frustrating. At first I didn't know I could only use a few, so i had a lot more chosen and ready to go, then I created the video and it was only the first like 5 pictures. So i had to go back and revise my whole video. Despite that i liked this website b/c it does all the work interms of composing, all i had to do was chose the pictures and music and there it was.
