Reflection: I thought this matrix was easier to follow, however that because it was limited to digital stories and videos it was
rather repetitive. The topic of digital story telling and videos, did open my eyes to how much can be done through a video. It
made me realize how helpful they can be, especially when teaching something online. I had a teacher once who created videos
explaining our projects to use as if she was in front of a class teaching it. At first I thought it was really odd, but I quickly realized
it was easier to understand than just reading instructions off a page. I really feel like I am grasping more of a hand onto writing
and creating matrices. I think in the future I will have to learn how to be more creatively diverse and be able to find more ways to
come up with examples.
