Thanks, Sue!

Only two years ago instructional aide Sue Otis was learning to navigate email and make PowerPoint presentations, but before the summer term began, she enthusiastically learned the computer programs used in the ESL Digital Storytelling class and even made a digital story entitled “Little Samurai,” recounting the early life of her great grandfather in Okinawa, Japan.

Thanks, Sue, for sharing your fantastic digital story and for assisting in the ESL Digital Storytelling Summer Academy 2008!
