All assignments must use a program to alter one of the soundtracks at some point (audacity, audiomass, GarageBand)

Every story must be at least 3-5 paragraphs long, each with 3-5 sentences and an intro, body, and conclusion. It is a story, whether educational, fictional, nonfictional, or documentary, but the story must support the digital media you created.

Your story must contain links, videos, and/or images that help the reader learn more about whatever you are talking about, that is what makes it digital.

You must list the assignment number on the blog post.

• The audio (embedded from soundCloud) you produced for the assignment embedded into your blog post.
• Review audio techniques
• A story (it does not have produced the to be confirmed). A story should be many paragraphs long. Is. The story should have a beginning, middle, and end. The digital media you create can be put anywhere within the story; it should flow and interest the reader.
• You can add other digital media you did not create to enhance the story. A digital story wants to pull in the user to learn more about what you are talking about. So, if you are talking about London, put in a hyperlink so the reader can find out more information. You were so excited when you saw XYZ that you thought your head would explode rainbows; put in an animated gif to show your audience your excitement. You listen to XYZ music to psych yourself up for the big race and put in a music clip of what you heard.
• Tag and categorize the audio and digital bank assignments.
• Link back to the original assignment.
