Memory Lane

By Lili Sevilla, ENC3416

The embedded video is the introduction to a multimodal presentation: a narrated PPT file, with embedded videos utilizing Snapchat filters, virtual backgrounds, and animated bitmoji. It was created for the Technology Literacy Narrative project for ENC3416. Here is a link to the full project: Memory Lane, Lili Sevilla’s Technology Literacy Narrative

I was able to work with two types of media: the virtual snapchat filters along with the PowerPoint. It was very hard to compress and put it in the right size to be accessible for canvas and everyone. 

This narrative is very important to me because it got me into seeing my own memory lane. I kind of forgot all these technology platforms I used to use. Where I am now it can be hard to look back and appreciate what made you who you are today – VHS, accelerated reading program, Messenger Live. The pandemic and at home research is giving me the liberty to continue my pre-med studies at home and still be English major.
