Reaction to the Digital Autobiography

My Digital Autobiography Reaction

     I spent about five hours creating my digital autobiography through Vuvox. It took me a little while to pick out which pictures to use and to plan my layout. It also took me some time to figure out how to use some of the tools available in Vuvox and how to cut-out my pictures. Once I got the hang of using Vuvox, I found that it was actually really fun creating a digital autobiography.

     I can see numerous values in completing this course task. This task taught me about technology and encouraged me to think creatively. I think that one of the best ways to learn about technology is to dive right in and try new applications. I never heard of Vuvox before this assignment, but because of this assignment I feel much more confident in trying out other new technologies. I also learned a lot by creating my digital autobiography and I had a lot of fun doing it.

     I hope to use something like my digital autobiography in my own classroom some day. I think that digital autobiographies, like the one I created through Vuvox, are great ways to introduce yourself to your class at the start of the year. Vuvox could also be used throughout the year for various projects you may want your students to do. (I think that students would get really excited if given the opportunity to create a project or their own digital autobiography using technology like Vuvox.)
