Today, which was really yesterday, went well.  The environment (classroom itself) is really not very nice or accommodating.  The participants helped each other and did not get overly frustrated learning Google + and Blogger.  There were only a few minor issues with scheduling our time and a few additional issues with technology that were manageable.

Everyone had fun reducing their narratives to scripts, storyboarding went well for most, although I could tell that many of the participants would have rather skipped that step.  I hope after reading our Digitales and Make Me a Movie books they will change their mind about the hard work of storyboarding.We created image/shot lists and sound lists as a part of our pre-production phase.

We began gathering images and sound files.  Participants seem eager to get involved in the actual digital creation of their Windows Movie Maker project/Digital Story.

We begin the production phase in about 8 hours.  

I need to get some rest.  This is going to be an interesting day.  I am excited to see the particpants' ideas take a digital shape.
