I liked the Words, Magic one the best, you saw how it started, how it ended, and I think it was a concious choice to leave the beginning raw as it were.  My least favorite was the second Digital Literacy narrative by Andfull.  I felt like she could have done a better job with the narration, and I understand now that it was a template, but the film strip didn't have anything to do with her topic of books for children.  As for the first one by Scannell, I didn't like the beginning, the words went too quickly to read about about 4 minutes in I started to get bored at the repetition involved in the story telling.  The fourth was all right, I'm glad that he recognized that the audience couldn't read his screen and so he subtitled it.   By the same toke, the fifty by Wooten was ok, but it was a little sarcastic, and made it difficult to take him seriously.


Thinks that I looked for was:
1. readability/clarity of any text/graphics
2, conciseness/cohesiveness of message
3. ability to keep the audience's interest - effective use of time
