[|What is Digital Storytelling?] Watch this [|video].

Storytelling has been around for thousands of years. These stories have been handed down from one generation to another in this fashion. Digital Storytelling is a way of taking these same stories and bringing them to life with the use of technology. It gives the storyteller an opportunity to personalize his or her stories with pictures and a personal narrative that gives special meaning to their story. With the use of graphics, audio, video, and animation, a student or teacher can create a digital story and publish it to the Web for sharing.

Digital Storytelling can be a powerful tool for your students. It not only requires higher order thinking skills, but it works well with auditory, visual, or kinesthetic learners. Students can work alone or with others to collaborate and work as a team on a project. They become responsible and actively exchange ideas and thoughts within their group as they are setting goals for their project.
