Top Ten

1. My favorite part of the class was the transmedia storytelling theme. Mixing creative writing with the more technical aspects of the course made it really enjoyable.
2.I really liked blogging. It was a quick and easy way to turn in assignments.
3.I liked that even though we were in groups, we had our own individual character inside the group.
4.I liked the character blogs. I've never really been into creative writing, but the blog made me feel like I was telling a story.
5.I like how we read many of our assignments out loud, especially the character blogs. It was both useful and fun to see what everyone else was doing.
6.I liked the idea of the CAC collaboration, even though it didn't work very well for us because it was difficult to coordinate both groups.
7.I liked the first Friday exhibition a lot. It was cool to see our work shown in a public place.
8.I liked using Youtube Editor to make videos. It's a skill I could maybe start using in the future.
9.I liked the essays we had to select from for the presentation because many of them discussed popular culture such as Doctor Who and Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
10.Finally, I also liked the Guide to Transmedia Storytelling. It offered a lot of good advice about both multimedia writing and storytelling in general.
