My digital story is about my dreams that I have for my future, which includes what I want to be when i grow up, what I want to be, what I want to do, and what I want to have. Everyone has dreams and I hope I can make my dreams come true.
Everybody has dreams about what their future will be like, but I have a dream that my future will be very successful. I hope that my future will he full of happiness and success. First off, I would like to graduate high school with an impressive transcript and SAT score so I can get accepted to many colleges. Not only do I want to get accepted to some of the best colleges out there, but I would also like to receive scholar ships to a few colleges since college is expensive. I hope to go to a great college and later after, have a good career. I am hoping to be some sort of a doctor when I get older. This will be hard work, but in the end I know that all my studying and hard work that I put towards school will pay off. Not only do I want to be successful in school and my career, but I would also like to be successful in my social life too. I would like to travel to a few other countries in my lifetime. I want to get married and have a family when the time comes. I want to live in a huge house and have a never ending closet of clothes and shoes. I want to have a nice car too. I would want all these things, but some of the money I make would have to be donated too. I hope that I am successful everywhere I go and in everything I do.
The video that I thought the author was most globally competent was the video called Tear Drops by Ali who is a middle school student in colorado. Her video is most globally competent because it reaches certain aspects on the graduate portfolio. Ali meets the aspects of knowledge required in the global era, skilled for success in a global environment, and connect to the world in the graduate portfolio. She meets these aspects of the graduate portfolio because she uses scientific understandings to explore possible solutions to help the world, demonstrates creative and complex thinking, and she evaluates and analyzes global issues, which is pollution in this video. She talks about pollution and how it is bad. The only aspect of the graduate portfolio that she does not meet is ready for college she is only a middle school student.
My next digital story is going to be about the earthquake in Haiti. I am going to collect pictures that show what happened after the earthquake and how it created a disaster for Haiti. They are in need of everything. The pictures will also show people helping the people in Haiti.
My digital story is about technology. It shows mostly all the new technologies that we have today and how technology just keeps getting better and better. My digital story gives a picture of all the new electronic devices that we have today and most of the pictures have a caption explaining the picture. After I show all the technology that we have today such as, computers, ipods, television, etc., I show new technology that is believed to come out in the future. There is a short video in my story that shows you how technology will change over time and only become better.
My project, which is about technology, relates to my schools graduate portfolio in many ways. There are a few portions in the graduate portfolio that relate to my project. This project made me a literate for the twenty-first century and an effective user of technology. By doing this project not only did I use technology to create the project and wrote about technology, but I used technology to help fix and better my spelling and grammar. To do my project I used the computer and I explained about all the different technologies that we have today. Technology has been advancing and is continuing to advance. This project has also made me Socially Prepared and Culturally Sensitive because this project has shown me to use appropriate language and work efficiently with my peers if they need help or if even I myself needs help. Also, I have seen how much technology has expanded and grown it makes me thankful for all the great things that we have today. All these new technologies are great and I am thankful to have to advantage to use and have them unlike others who are less fortunate than myself.
