Digital Stories
I feel that digital stories are very valuable to academia. They hold this certain emotion or feeling that can propel one's thoughts or writing. They do this through their pathos and point of view. Having a soundtrack back up a digital story has a tremendous effect on the viewer if it goes along with the story. For me, I definitely enjoy watching digital stories. It gives me a deeper sense of what the author is proposing as their topic or argument. The use of either pictures or videos clips gives the story a great foundation and structure. Outside of academia it can also be used as a valuable resource, but sometimes gets misused in this modern day. Today's digital stories are becoming more and more creative and elusive, especially now that Youtube is expanding and becoming a great place for publishing your videos. However there are instances when they are not used for their true potential. In all though, digital stories are a great place for forming and stimulating your writing.

I agree with you that digital stories are a good way to get points across. I thought it was interesting that you mentioned digital stories can be used for bad, I did not even think about that and i did not think about youtube until you mentioned it.
ReplyDeleteI agree with your point that digital stories can have very powerful emotions within them and thus stimulate creativity and writing. Furthermore, the abuse of digital stories outside of academia occurs far too often. But is the abuse of digital stories not just as common in academia?
