In the beginning of this week, we learned storytelling tactics that would be helpful for telling our digital story. I watched The Mystery Box, spoken by J.J. Abrams. There were many helpful tips that I picked up while watching him speak. The overall message was good, but the most help I received was by looking closely into how he told his story. For example, he explained that he started thinking of ideas to talk about on TED by asking himself why he was passionate about mysteries. To find the answer to that question, he looked back into his past and visited different memories. This helped me find the right memories in my own past to explain my belief. Abrams also gave only just enough information to explain his topic, he didn’t go too deep into the memory. While writing my essay, I found that some of the topics I wrote didn’t necessarily go with my belief, so I cut it out. Abrams showed multiple clips from movies and added humor to many of his concepts. This kept his audience interested in what he was saying, and supported his points because they were relevant and helped him connect to the listeners. After everyone finished watching the TED Talk of their choice, we all came together to discuss key points of digital storytelling. The tips that people spoke of helped me see more ways to write my belief and and successfully tell my story. http://edtechteacher.org/8-steps-to-great-digital-storytelling-from-samantha-on-edudemic/
