Creating my autobiography

Before I began creating my digital autobiography, I will admit that I was terrified. Not being any good with technology, the thought of me producing this autobiography that everyone would be able to see worried me that this would be the end of me succeeding in this class. However, I was proven wrong. Setting up a vuvox.com account took about five seconds, and beginning the actual collage was even easier! I especially appreciated how easy it was to navigate the page, whether it was uploading photos or organizing the arrangement. I have always wanted to find a website like this, especially one that allowed me to tilt the pictures to make it look like a true collage. The only effort needed to make a basic autobiography was looking through over a hundred pictures only to pick out eight to post on the site! To make things a little more interesting, I added some color. I chose colors that resembled me, which was easy because of the range of color choices. One day, it might be fun to try to add some music!

Creating this autobiography has benefits for both me and other viewers. For me, it is a way to share my story and to remind me of the things that are most important in my life. For the viewers, whoever is interested, can get the true picture of who I am as a person. In the future, as a teacher, my students and coworkers can see that I am an honest person but also fun and lovable. This autobiography shows that I know how to stay connected, and also gives others a preview into my life.

Overall, this was a fun experience, as well as new! It gave me great insight into the potential that the internet can offer! I know that ever since I've discovered this autobiography, several friends have wanted to try it out too, and in a classroom, I feel this would be a great icebreaker activity, as well as a way to understand a computer and internet.
