Welcome to the inaugural Digital Writing Retreat at Armstrong Getting Started - Pre Conference 1. Create a gmail account that is personal and not affiliated with a school system and mail me at ronatyger@gmail.com from that account so I can include you in our circle.

2. Insure that you have a USB drive to bring with you. I suggest a large memory of more than 256MB.

3. Begin conceptualizing a personal narrative that you will turn into a written narrative and then a digital story. It should be compelling: a first, a tough decision, a loss, a turning point

4. Begin gathering artifacts (in both digital and natural format) that will be used in your digital story.

5. If you have a laptop that is wi fi ready, bring it with you and you can use it during the creative process.

6. If you have a personal headset/microphone, plan on bringing it with you. We do have 15 sets here at Armstrong.

SATURDAY and SUNDAY - Pre Conference Please Complete 1. If you are bringing your own laptop (PCs only), Download this Windows Movie Maker 2.6

2. If you have the Windows 7 OS, Download the above and plan to use this version of Windows Movie Maker. Windows Live Movie comes with Windows 7, but we will not be using that program. Most schoosl will have version 2.6. = Armstrong campus map and location information = Interactive Armstrong Map 1. park at University Hall (bldg #14) at 900am on June 11th 2. display your parking permit.
