My Animal Rescue Blog Turned into A Digital Paper on Storify


I was new to blogging prior to my enrollment in my COMI610 class. I have grown to really like blogging. My blog topic (Animal Rescue) was more of a nonprofit informative blog; I learned the value of many different kinds of blogs regarding politics, business blogs and personal blogs. I have also learned that the use of photos and videos as well as links really drive people towards your blog. 

My blog this week will consist of posting an outline or draft for my digital paper done through a social network site called Storify. Storify is a tool that students can use to tell a story using social media, or showcase their tweets, posts, pictures, and videos all on one page. Storify is a social networking site that lets people tell stories using social media sites like Facebook and Instagram and using photos, videos, tweets etc.
