I chose to create a digital photo story about my inspiration in becoming a teacher for the deaf and hard of hearing. My inspiration is Dr. Buisson. He encouraged and supported those in the deaf education program while forcing out of our comfort zones.

I struggled with this project due to a lack of pictures. Most of my career utilized sign language and does not lend itself to pictures. When I read the interview questions from this week's readings, I felt called to honor Dr. B for all the work he put into teaching me. I could probably spend hours describing individual times when Dr. B encouraged or challenged me. It was hard to try to summarize my thoughts while ensuring that the narration flowed with the pictures.

I did enjoy using PhotoStory3. I found the program very easy to use and fun to play with. I think that for a free download, it edited the photos, transistions, and movement very well. I did run into some issues with trying to record, but was able to figure it out by accident.

Overall, I enjoyed the experience of doing this project!
