This week was the first week of the new trimester, and with it came new opportunities. The tri started out strong with a new project to work on: a multimedia report. This is going to be a very large project, but it’s exciting. We’ve worked with writing and videos before, but the amount of technical ideas that could be used is quite a large pool. My group choose Siddhartha to read, and it was a very good book. It’s the life story of a fictional monk who tried many different ways of life to try to find enlightenment. As he went through all of the different lifestyles, I couldn’t help but think of how I was living too. It really made me think about my own purpose in life, and I think I got a few lessons out of it. Just reading the books isn’t enough though, as we have to recreate the Snow Fall project from the Wall Street Journal. This article is actually really cool to explore, as it uses so many different forms of media to tell its story. I had never really thought of using videos, bios, and screen-casts to enhance a paper before. That's only the tip of the iceberg too, as websites like this offer many more ideas. If I’m going to be honest, I think this is going to be a very difficult project. Adding all these elements definitely isn’t going to be easy. I’m also really excited to see what these elements can do to enhance my own writing though, so hopefully it all goes well.
