What is Digital Storytelling?

Digital storytelling at its most basic core is the practice of using computer-based tools to tell stories. There are a wealth of other

terms used to describe this practice, such as digital documentaries, computer-based narratives, digital essays, electronic memoirs,

interactive storytelling, etc.; but in general, they all revolve around the idea of combining the art of telling stories with a variety of multimedia,

including graphics, audio, video, and Web publishing.

How to Use Digital Storytelling in the Classroom by Jennifer New (Edutopia)

1. Learn from what you watch.2. See technology as a storytelling tool, not as a

teaching goal.3. Allow your students to push you (and lead you).

4. Learn by trial and error.5. Give your students freedom, but hold them

accountable.6. Consider yourself the executive producer.

7. Don't forget to celebrate your students' work.
