Reflection:

This was a very interesting experience for me being that I have had no interaction with Twitter other than reading tweets from other social media sites. This digital storytelling experience allowed me to tweet a story which I think I could write about. Looking back on my story, I think I was able to capture and retell the story as well as I could have taking into the consideration the affordances and constraints of Twitter. I believe that my story was successful in the sense that I was able to capture and engage an audience into participating within my story and having them actively take part in my tale. I was also successful in the aspect of not only telling a story but having very descriptive pictures to go along with it. In other ways I failed, for instance the use of emojis or emoticons did not come off as well as they would have due to my own lack of realization that they would not translate well on other media sources that were not Apple products. Also, the abbreviated language which I used made parts of the story hard to comprehend and understand which I believe took away from parts of it that were really important to the overall story. All in all this digital storytelling experience has taught me two things, that I must at all times be aware of the language I am using whether verbal or pictorial and how that language will translate over various mediums. With that said I think I will practice more digital storytelling on twitter as to become more familiar with the media platform and to practice how to effectively tweet.

Analytics:

Being that this was my debut on Twitter, I was able to post about 20 Tweets and engage 4 people, and also encounter about 3 spam pages who liked my tweets. I managed to post about 10 images which is the most amount of images I have posted on any social site in one sitting. My analytics for this project are rather low because I was only able to engage with the people who were a part of it although I tried using hashtags and such.
