Reflecting
upon what Dr. Zamora said about alchemy, I imagine this class digital
storytelling allowing a “transformation” to occur within me. To be completely
honest, I am very comfortable with old ways of sharing knowledge, stories, etc.
So in a way, I need to undergo a process that may be uncomfortable but
worthwhile. I need to fulfill, get out, and share what is within me. According
to Wikipedia alchemy is associated with “purifying,” so as an alchemist I will
use these tools to “purify” what is inside me and try and tap into the unique
storyteller. I want to create what Dr. Zamora said is “magical.” And I believe you can get to that place, by sharing experiences.
When it comes to my weekend performance, I am very satisfied
with my blog, my first blog post, and the fact I am exposing the real person
behind these blog posts/creations. This week is just about doing what is required, but I am learning. Overall, I am excited about learning even though alchemy might turn into Al killing me (LOL)! :)

Hi Wendy, thank you!
DeleteQuanesha,
ReplyDeleteThe essence of any platform, whether it be writing in your journal or on a blog or a video is to be yourself. After all, everyone else is taken!
I blog at "The Digital Alchemist" http://sandybrownjensen.tumblr.com/
where I am also learning to just be myself--whoever that is going to turn out to be!
I love your opening tone of beauty and openness.
Sandy
Thank you!
