What Makes an Interesting Interview

Names of the audio and animated clips from the website storycorps.org.

Audio: "I remember many months with no lights", "At the time, I was tutoring at an after -school program...", and "How do you think you've changed?"
Animated: "Always a family" and "Eyes on the stars"

The key points from the above clips I heard and saw had a clear flow and was straight to the point. Some of the stories had some background information. All of the voices were clear and accurate, some of them told their stories with emotion. The information they wanted to share was understandable and visual not only by the animation clips, but also the audio clips because of the story teller's description of words. Emotions were heard in the animated clips rather than the audio clips, but again the story teller was very understandable. In  the animated clips I heard crying in one story and in the other I heard laughing.

My Criteria:
1. Have a clear and accurate voice ( to avoid being nervous, practice in the mirror)
2. Choose visual words (e.g. She sat in the cold room wearing her favorite navy blue dress, because her mom was not able to pay the heat bill that month....)
3. Get permission when using people's names, or keep their identity safe
4. When using music in your clip be sure to make it sure at the appropriate time, it will be better if it would be used at the end of the story teller's last words
5. Share a little background information on your topic so that the listener would know what's going on

Digital Footprint Review

My Footprint Review  

The type of items that was included in a digital footprint was most of the digital devices we use in everyday life. These items included cameras, video recorders, cell phone usage including text messaging and pictures, land lines, computer/internet access, downloads of music, movies, videos, or games, emailing, and recording boxes for the televisions.

The ones that were relevant to me were the emailing, cell phone usage, and computer/internet access.

I think it was pretty difficult because sometimes I don’t use the above devices as much as other weeks. This could be due to a number of things like having no classes/ classes, being off from work/ working, or being involved in other activities.

I learned that they take all your technology usage from the numbers you give and somehow work that in for a week or month of how much you use. They probably multiply and divide it, I don’t know how they do it, my digital footprint number was very large.

Tracking My Technology Use

From the hours 8a.m. to midnight on Thursday I was to record my technology use, my results were:

Text 3 times
Email 4 times
Facebook 4 times
Use of the Web 17 times

My 2 blogs

http://www.thethepoetry.com/  I chose this link because it is almost like a part of me. It is what I do and will start doing again once I have a hold on this semester. I love poetry, everyone has a story to tell. Through my poetry it's a way to express the deep feelings that others don't know about.

http://beta.abc.go.com/shows/scandal/blogs  I chose this link because toward the end of last year I became obessed watching this T.V show, which I also think it's number one in America on Thurdays evenings called Scandal. It's a must see, it's mind blowing and takes you on a number of "oh wow"outbursts throughout the series.
