 * How a Community Changed My Life** was the first personal digital story I created. It was the culmination of a workshop I attended in Washington DC, taught by the Center for Digital Storytelling. For the most part I used literal images. If I was to do it over again I might have included more iconic, non-literal, images. I was also trying to balance telling the story of an organization, along with reflections of my personal journey.

 * My Technobiography** was created in response to a project in ISTC 541 at Towson University. Here I deliberately tried to tell the story with a bare minimum of images(7 or 8). I focused on Joe Lambert's seven elements of digital storytelling to make it as effective as possible. The lack of a music soundtrack was also deliberate. I thought it could distract from the message, especially given the short length of the video.
