As you draft your story, you should think about the following issues:
What concrete details stand out in your mind? Consider visual input — what colors, shapes, images do you recall?
What sounds were involved? Audio tracks? The beeps and whir of computer equipment? Voices?
What tactile sensations do you remember? The pressing of keys on a computer keyboard? A mouse rolling under your hand? The remote control or game controller gripped in both hands? The cramps in your back from hunching over in front of a game console for hours on end?
Were there differences before and after the experience? Did you feel that something had changed in your life, or in your outlook on the world or on ways of dealing with it? Or did this experience take on importance to you only later?
Were other people involved in the experience? Who were they? Were they in the same room with you or at a distant location?

As you draft your reflections, you should think about the following issues:
How was this experience significant or remarkable?
Or why did it seem unremarkable, even though it had implications for you later in life?
Did this experience seem similar to or different from other learning experiences you have had, either before or after?
Have you talked with other people about this experience? Did they have similar experiences?
