Media Fluency Reflection.
- How was the ease of access in building your flipbook, despite this being the free and limited version of the software? I Found Flipsnack a struggle to use. It was hard to edit and it sometimes would not save my progress. It was glitchy to find and use pictures.
- Were you able to apply the skills you learned in the planning stages appropriately to a digital environment? I found that the Planning I did on paper helped me get it set up okay. I wrote down all the information, but I did not make a draft i just wrote down all the information I needed on paper then typed the same thing out on Flipsnack.
- What were the sources you researched that made this an “authentic make-believe” American Revolution flipbook? I used a number of different sources including. Here they are.

- Is there other software online that could have done the job better? Did you use another software instead? Explain. Power Point might create something that looks the same and it is easier to use because I have used it before. It would not look exactly the same but it would be a lot easier for me, and I would have used it if i knew how hard flipsnacks would be to use.
