Summary of Comments- Where I Am From


Blaine Richards
One thing I learned about you is that you enjoy nature such as rivers, streams, and agriculture.
Your family is different than mine because we don't venture into nature for recreation.
The best thing about your digital story is the ability for me to see your life struggles and how you've overcome them regardless of the degree of adversity you faced.
One thing you could change is make it more clear if you ever lived in a log cabin. I'm not sure if the pictures are of you or ancestors. Maybe do this by showing a picture on the same slide that compares who you are now with what you looked like at an early age.
Very Cool Blaine!

Josh Chiado
One thing I learned about you is you are a very relaxed person who can also be very professional.
Your family is similar than mine because we tend to let our "crazy sides" shine.
The best thing about your digital story is definitely the music selection and transitions. It certainly helped me understand your personality and it showed you’re interested in music.
One thing you could change is show more pictures of family dinners instead of using an image of a very yummy dinner. I felt it would have emphasizes the importance of large family meals. Something you might want to do if you have the time to make this small change.
Thank you for sharing!

Calla Rieger
One thing I learned about you are very creative in expressing yourself with words, designs, and music. I assumed that you liked to do scrap- booking.
Your family is similar to mine because we are also a family who lived in the country side in a West Virginia hollow.
The best thing about your digital story is the amount of pictures and music variation with those pictures. The music helped to organize the pictures into a story. Great!
One thing you might change is to add a few individual pictures in places in order to make the story longer. When the story ended I was sad that it had ended so soon. There is a lot of life experiences that I didn't get to experience through your project. It was wonderful!

Dawn Riestenberg
One thing I learned about you is that you are from North Carolina.
Your family is similar to mine because my mother also married at a young age.
The best thing about your digital story is the story itself. I'm so glad to see your appreciation in your life through the story. I also loved the smiles I received through the music. The music was great and humorous at times, which I expected from you.
One thing you could change is by adding some more detail about your kids if you ever go back to this video in the future. Your kids I'm sure have qualities that would fit wonderfully into your story.

Robin Michaelson
One thing I learned about you is you are a talented musician.
Your family is similar to mine because my mother's multiple friends have also had an impact on my life.
The best thing about your digital story is that you successfully established your identity and embraced your individuality! I LOVE THAT! Also, you did an awesome job demonstrating to the world that you’re very balanced.
One thing you could change is to keep making additions as your life continues. Revisit the digital story and edit it in the future.
I watched your video twice because I enjoyed it.
Keep up the great work! I'm glad to know that there are great teachers in the future lives of children.

Lindsey Rome
A couple things I learned about you is that we went to the same Elementary school and that, in my opinion, you are a wonderful role model
Your family is similar to mine because everyone in my family depends on one another.
The best thing about your digital story is the amount of time you allowed for the pictures to be displayed. I had the perfect amount of time to read and see the details of the pictures.
I would only check to see if the song’s file you selected for your video has an issue with it. Toward the end of the project the music abruptly ended before the pictures ended.

Dalton Rowan
Yeah!!! This was awesome!
One thing I learned about you is you are very in touch with your Appalachian culture! Dude I love it! I felt like I was experiencing West Virginia in a different way that others shouldn't hesitate to take the chance to experience.
Your family is similar to mine because they also have an interest in making cars/trucks out do their expected capabilities. My mom and her parents would always go watch Mud Bogs. Now we're racing Modifieds at Elkins Raceway when the spending money comes around.
The best thing about your digital story is how you displayed your pride in who you are.
Good Job.

Matt Sandor
One thing I learned about you is that you have a deep appreciation and love for nature and living within nature. I also didn't know your passion for baseball until I watched this video.
Your family is similar to mine because they also worked hard to give me the opportunities and the future that they weren't able to achieve.
The best thing about your digital story is how well you described how wonderful West Virginia is to live. If I had the opportunity to be famous or to travel to Las Vegas, then I would still be West Virginia proud.
Thank you for working so hard on this project and sharing it with me. I did have a question about something you mentioned in your project... was the younger guy hanging around with you an adopted brother or just a brother to you? Either way you are a fantastic role model and definitely a teacher that I'd like to have in this world.

Kasey Sapp
Kasey... I was looking forward to watching this video. Unfortunately, it is set to private and I cannot view it. I did learn that you are from New Martinsville, WV. I like it there. I've visited a few friends there last year. The Ohio River is interesting.

Savanna Shuck
This is my favorite one of the 10 I've watched. I envy your creativity at times. The music and images accurately depict the person I encounter in person. You are creative, open minded, and fun. I enjoy that you find reasons to smile. I'm so sorry to learn that someone so close to you has left you because I'm sure that person has something to do with your rich personality. Keep it up and see you soon!

Elana Slaubaugh
The best thing about your digital story is the way that the text moves. It emphasizes the meaning behind the words. The puppy, Preston, was cute. I'm assuming that was him pictured in the story. The only thing I might do in order to make this better is to provide a link to watch the video on YouTube. Some of the project was hidden because of your Blog Theme/Layout. The video was just barely hidden behind the column that stretches down on the right side.
Very good music. Nice job.
