The Upstart

Katie Birecki, student of Taking your Website to the Edge, has been enjoying her time learning how to create multimedia stories. The class, led by Natalie Sekicky, has dove head first into learning the importance of a multimedia story  has on your site. With a combination of pictures, videos, maps, ect., the presence of visual art can supply a whole new world of understanding to a reader. The class will work in groups throughout the week to produce their own multimedia story. Student Katie Birecki expresses her excitement.

“I’m anxious to see how it goes!” Birecki says. “I am looking forward to doing something I’ve never done before and even more excited to be able to bring back what I’ve learned to my school’s paper!”
