For class on Tuesday, we had a guest speaker. Nate Herzog is a Digital Media Storyteller and the founder of StoryHackVT. I found his presentation to be very relevant to what we are doing in class, as our midterm project is to do a StoryHack in small groups. His presentation explained where his idea to do the StoryHack came from and how the Hack has worked each year it has been in existence.
When we were first assigned this StoryHack project, it seemed very daunting and I was confused about what we were supposed to be turning in. Herzog's presentation helped to make this assignment more clear to me. I'm really excited to get to do this project because I feel like it will give me useful experience that I will be using in my career (hopefully...).
Nate's presentation certainly opened our eyes to numerous ways we can complete our project. This experience will broaden and strenghten our understanding in properly utilizing social media to make ourselves strong candadites in the future digital workforce.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree that Nate's presentation helped describe the midterm project a little more. At first, I had no idea what to do for the midterm, but after learning what this StoryHackVT contest was, I now understand that we take the prompts to a whole new creative level.
