As I begin another journey through the halls of online learning, I have much that I am looking forward to. I am looking forward to creating a pictorial journal of my daily life, the simple and the complex, the unexpected and the mundane, the serious and the humorous. What am I hoping to learn? I am hoping to learn how to capture these moments with creativity and passion, bringing a class and dignity to the presentation of my experiences and those that I witness. I want to learn how to notice the more simpler moments of everyday life and do so with an appreciative eye. I want to learn how to make impactful moments speak volumes with the use of simple and tasteful photos, snapshots of time. I want to be able to tell a thought provoking story through a camera lens.
I believe this course of digital storytelling will be my newest adventure and I am hoping to share it with you.
I was moved by your hopes and dreams for this class - the things you want to accomplish and what you want to slow down to take notice of. Before my daughter started school, I was able to be home with her and we did tons together. I have many photo albums to remember that time. Now that I'm working, and going to school, I don't seem to have any time to notice the little things let alone take pictures of them. I, like you, would like to reconnect with all the simple wonders around me, appreciate them and share them in pictorial stories with others around me.
ReplyDeleteWow! I could just feel the passion that you have for this topic in your blog post. I think it is cool that you want to make a pictorial journal of your life. I agree with you when you talk about how much storytelling can affect life. I am hoping to learn how to make storytelling an important and relevant part of my classroom.
ReplyDeleteTracey you state your hopes and aspirations with such grace. What struck me was the part where you said, "....bringing a class and dignity to the presentation of my experiences and those that I witness." That is really wonderful and I hope to do the same.
ReplyDeleteIn everyday moments there is a power that we sometimes no longer see. I think of your Posterous Blog photo of your desk in the classroom. How many times do we hear about 'Education' on the news - but your picture takes it from the esoteric and brings it home.
