The digital story ”Outside
the Glass”, produced by Golden Jackson, is based on writer’s true
experience in Honduras. Golden Jackson was invited by her friends and former
students to teach a course to prepare students for service in Honduras. She
accepted the invitation because she intended to move out of the comfort zone to
enhance herself. During the service, she realized that the interaction between
faculties and communities exert a mutual promotion. Golden suggests that the definition
of community in Honduras is much more complex than Ohio, she also states that
service help students, as well as herself,
apply academic concept in a real world setting and to be an effective
and participatory citizen. In the end, Golden emphasized that it is a unique
experience which employed a profound influence.
The title of the
digital story is intriguing for its metaphor: Glass blocking people’s view
toward outside world. Author displayed a
conspicuous point of view which
encourage students to be a effective and participatory citizen through various
social services and continental travelling. She intended to record a medium
pace script, obviously, the sound quality is clear enough for me, a first quarter
international student, to distinguish and understand. There are interludes in
which her students revealed their own opinion about the service to the audience in their own voice and photo,
adding to a more neutral and persuasive condition. The images well served the
script by precise accompaniment. Within the 3:52 digital story, author has
detailed her purpose and the content was fluent and combined as a whole.
