Digital Project 2

Digital Narrative Script 2

In the world we live in, there is a lot of good things. However, in this world, there are people or natural elements who destroy good things for their own amusement. Most of the countries on the planet have nuclear weapons to fight warfare. As the violence increases, the higher the death rate is. Nuclear power is rising in several areas, like in North Korea. Kim Jung Il has a huge amount of power that portrays a threat of nuclear nuke. He has enough nuclear power to erase a country on Earth. 

In Africa, there is an area in Africa that is suffering from genocide; a desire to erase a race from the planet, usually by slaughtering. This is portraying the same aspect as the Holocaust. Genocides have to stop; it accomplishes nothing. Not many are aware or even show disbelief that such an act is still in existence. More people need to be aware of the things that happen in less inhabitant areas, where there are indeed people. Natural disasters heavily affect all countries. The country Haiti suffered from a HUGE earthquake that destroyed 90% of areas and left millions homeless. People have donated millions of dollars just to help them, and now Haiti is halfway back in running with 50% repairs complete.  

Digital Portfolio REFLECTION

Digital Stories has improved the education of myself. Digital Stories has benefitted me in both school work and long term projects. The heavily unnecessary project "Graduate Portfolio" has given me thought of including what was in m Digital Story. The thought of "Going Green" has been recommended through the first Digital Story, and I continue to type the narrative about the world issues of today and what to do to help. I think that Digital Stories are a great technique to teach a generation of students.

Digital Story 2 Topic

My digital story is about the affects of global warming and technology. My story included technology that is helping the world, like by ''going green." As of now, there are harmful natural disasters that are tearing up the world. I included many exotic sounds like the dramatic dogma song. The beginning was all about the advancement in technology, and then I started to discuss global issues. Near the end, I used "going green" technology to portray my reasoning. In the credits, I said the world is in need, in we could make a difference to the change the world
